^ Go fish ?

I thought it was the calm before the storm.

Just waiting for a bite, when you use the best lure, then you're likely to get a bite. Just got to bide your time, or keep casting. :03:

First contender for best post of next year :)

Great article but useless. Needs to break it down by the numbers.

Medicaid?
Subsidized?
Non-subsidized?

If the overwhelming majority of sign up is Medicaid then the program is still screwed. I suspect this to be the case.

Probably too early to tell the outcome of this, wait six months or so to get into statistics and other relevant information.

It really is not to early. The overwhelming number of sign up(auto-enrolled) for the state of Maryland is 101k. http://www.enrollamerica.org/blog/20...-medicaid-pac/ These are people on Medicaid. Free healthcare. I suspect we will see the same result in all states. The program cannot sustain itself with a majority of non-payers. Without the hard numbers the article from Reuters is misleading to what some would see as a success for the program when in fact the program is failing to pay for itself as predicted (or hoodwink the young healthy to pay for it all).

Maybe,Reuters was not the best source in this case.:hmmm:

It is the best article today showing how misleading the news can be. If you recall the BO administration was not producing any real numbers. When they did the numbers were sugar coated. No breakdown of the freebie and the payers. It truly is smoke and mirrors.

Something some folk really specialise in :)
