And Kentucky is doing very well. But Kentucky is a state with a lot of poor people that qualify for the Medicaid subsidies and many pay nothing. But, it is my understanding, that that is the purpose of the program, to offer coverage for those that have none. Most of the complaints seem to be coming from folks that already have insurance coverage and are seeing increases in their co-pays and deductibles?

I think it will succeed but that it will take much longer than the March deadline. I hope I am wrong.
