Only stupid fucking imbeciles too ignorant to realize this until now ever thought such a numbskulled scheme would work. Sure, make a profit on suffering |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 64990077 United States 10/23/2015 07:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "Hundreds of thousands people will lose their insurance plans as a raft of health insurance cooperatives (CO-OPs) created by the Affordable Care Act will cease operations. Quoting: The_Original_Mind Just last week, CO-OPs in Oregon, Colorado, Tennessee and Kentucky announced that they would be winding down operations due to lower than expected enrollment and solvency concerns (although the one in Colorado is suing the state over the shutdown order). They join four other CO-OPs that have announced that they would be closing their doors. In total, only 15 out of the 23 CO-OPs created by the law remain. These closures reveal how ill-advised this aspect of the ACA was both in terms of lost money and the turmoil for the people who enrolled in them. The eight that have failed have received almost $1 billion in loans, and overall CO-OPs received loans totaling $2.4 billion that might never get paid back. In addition, roughly 400,000 people will lose their plans." [link to fee.org (secure)] Low enrollment but high insolvency. The rich making money on the poor, again and again and again. Those are the most corrupt states in the union, second to my own, naturally, with every over-fucking-cybernized place there. Nobody trusts they'll get home after they get stuck in the hospital. 2.4 billion loans that looks like embezzlement by executives to me. |

All the while premiums continue to skyrocket and they fine people without insurance. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 62323787 Yup. Plus, far fewer people have signed up than planned. The entire plan was based on the narcissistic belief that Americans would flock to Obamacare. |

Basically, their buddies were given a business opportunity (by loans) and they failed miserably. sponsors: The law describes CO-OP sponsors as “persons applying to become qualified nonprofit health insurance issuers.” In practice, these “persons” include consumer groups, community organizations, medical provider organizations, unions, business coalitions, and other stakeholder groups. |

Professional Amateur Cancelling Tomorrow User ID: 69288358 United States 10/23/2015 11:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to healthaffairs.org] Many analysts are enthusiastic about the potential for CO-OPs to bring competition and choice to the market. Others question whether the federal loan initiative has been a wise use of taxpayer dollars, since many CO-OPs will be at a disadvantage competing against well-established insurance companies and may fail. This policy brief updates a previous brief on the subject posted February 28, 2013. It describes the current status of the CO-OP program and examines issues related to the likelihood of its success now that the ACA implementation has begun. |

Republican Governors FAILed to end Obamacare. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 58483529 Excuse me? I am one of the 100,000 in Tennessee who lost my insurance plan. They gave us less than 90 days to find another "plan". And I'm 100% healthy. We are the ones they dumped. I will never be insured by the Gov ever. That is when I will draw the line and stand up for this shit. No more. How dare they fine me while some fat cat earns billions on peoples illness. Fuck you to all of them. |
