23. Hey, we already have Platinum, Silver, and Bronze people ...

or so I understand - with of course the "Platinum" being the most expensive and thus available only to those who can afford it - not necessarily to those who might need it? And for that matter the notion that any of us know what level of "insurance" we'll need tomorrow is insane.

Since when is parsing people into the categories of differently priced/worth metals (obviously making the point that some are "worth" more than others based on their bank accounts) "democratic?"

I confess to have read little and that little carelessly about this unutterably corrupt program - though I did note that the other day that the employer mandate has been delayed and found out that the obscene "Doughnut hole" won't be closed for years and years .... both read on this very site.
