What should be concerning is the percentage of people who are signing up and actually paying for a healthcare policy they wer eunable to afford before and those signing up for what is apparently an extension of our welfare efforts. Go back and read the OP, out of about 1.5 million only about 14,000 appear to be paying customers, the rest are on the government dole. Where the hell is the money going to come from to support this obvious humungous increase in the welfare arena? We are talking hundreds of billions of dollars here guys not peanuts.

The money (or the attempt to get the money) will come from very high premiums for those who pay. That and some extra taxes that is in the bill that the libs refused to believe.

OK, and I suppose the libs would prefer that those at the top pay these hundreds of billions for the care of the Medicaid? It will be interesting to see how that flies in the house. lol.

Pat, you're still confused. As study after study has shown, you could subsidize everyone in the country and it would REDUCE your costs.

Getting people to go to the doctor while a disease is a minor irritant rather than having them show up at an emergency room door with an expensive major illness is the simplest way to reduce Health Care costs.

They've been told that over and over and over. Somehow, it just doesn't sink in with the naysayers.

To answer one question which was ask. The rules for medicaid qualification were changed in Obamacare so that many people which were not qualified to receive Medicaid are now qualified.

Saying that mostly "freebies" is less expensive is only by the useful idiots. Even most Dems will say just the opposite. Obicare HAS to have the young and healthy or it will fall on it's face and it's on the way now.

Hawaii Signs Up 574 for Obamacare, at $348,000 Apiece


By Sterling Beard

December 10, 2013 2:07 PM


Only 574 Hawaiians have signed up for Obamacare – at a cost to the federal government of roughly $348,000 apiece.

And the Hawaii Reporter quotes sources familiar with the exchange’s website saying that enrollment figure is an overstatement, because the site doesn’t always properly transfer information to insurers. Insurers thus haven’t processed all the enrollments, and applications can be submitted multiple times.

The Hawaii state government paid CGI Federal — the same contractor that built the disastrous HealthCare.gov — $53 million to build the website, which didn’t launch till October 15. The federal government gave the state $200 million in total to set up the exchange, including money to be spent on marketing and outreach.

Current sign-ups more than double the 257 who had enrolled by November 15, but there’s a long way to go: The state has 100,000 uninsured residents – and 30,000 people are losing their insurance because their policies do not meet Obamacare’s minimum coverage standards. The state’s insurance commissioner, Gordon Ito, has asked companies to preserve the plans, but the companies are not legally required to do so.

I guess he is much like the president, he ignores established principles and the law.
