Also, people are discovering to their absolute HORROR that they aren't rich!

Here and they thought the money they made as a "manager" at Circle K made them rich and they discover they are still considered to be under the federal poverty level.

Americans are supposed to be kept ignorant about how badly they're getting screwed.

And we actually did hear why it might be a problem as Wallace did mention the 'death spiral' (although
it is really much too early to know whether it will be an issue as we really don't know at this point how
many people will actually be buying insurance and what the distribution of buyers is).

Shame on Fox news and podcasts like this that use Fox news type tactics.

So if very few people are buying from the exchanges it means "Obamacare" is doomed.

What they are not telling their viewers is that it's Medicaid expansion is PART of the ACA. Those people aren't taking away from "Obamacare", they're partaking in it.

And YES the money is coming from people with the incomes represented at that table.

Are you saying this ACA might actually work and insure those not currently being insured? And that those without insurance who are also poor, might just be a little more motivated to access ACA? Only one reaction. DUH.
