Boom - only 3.9 million - plus needs 47 %more meds

[jem]

1. Only 3.9 million actually enrolled in insurance plans through state or federal exchanges – not 7.1 million as claimed by Obama. That number falls far short of even the lowered expectations issued by HHS and the White House earlier this year. - See more at: http://www.thefiscaltimes.com/Colum...-Obamacare-s-First-Round#sthash.9Ln0mek3.dpuf

2. They need more medical attention

Pharmacy benefit manager Express Scripts, which collected more data from insurers than HHS managed through its own exchanges, determined that the incoming enrollees require more medical attention than the previous risk pools, not less – which means that insurers will need to raise premiums even more than first thought. - See more at: http://www.thefiscaltimes.com/Colum...-Obamacare-s-First-Round#sthash.9Ln0mek3.dpuf

4x more HIV, 27% more anti seizure meds, 35% more prescriptions overall. Although less contraception.

3. Premiums will skyrocket.

completely distorted study.
the U.S. tires to save premies at 20 something weeks of gestation. Those babies tend to die early.

Other countries which do well on that list... only start to save babies if they reach a certain size.

Most other stats not putting the US medicine int the top echelon are distorted as well.

US medicine can be "top echelon" AND very unequally distributed.

unfortunately when dems gets involved with obamacare and the insurance companies we get trillion dollar program wealth crushing programs instead of a couple billion dollar fiz which could have brought the low up instead of the working tax payers down.

As i understand it, if you are a smoker, you have to pay risk adjusted higher premiums now. But if you are a homosexual, you don't pay higher risk adjusted premiums. Even though the risk of aids skyrockets and that is a very very expensive disease.

Part of the deal. They took care of the homosexuals and made others pay.

What about the promiscuous straight people they don't get higher premiums either neither do motorcycle riders and what about those cookie eating Baptists, damn you Obama.

Promiscuous normal people are not nearly as likely to get an expensive disease like aids as homosexuals. They should not have to pay much higher premiums. Their sex related diseases are treated with antibiotics as far as i know. I don't know about motorcycle riders insurance. And the whole trend most certainly is to make obese people either change or pay more. How did that escape you.

But the homos will get taken care of.
