Remember boys and girls, you'll be able to keep your insurance! Economic realities be damned. Because hope, change, rainbows, and wishful thinking.

Not to mention everyone whose hours got reduced from 40 to 30 so that the company doesnt have to pay for insurance.

Obama's 2009 Health Care Speech
How's that working out for you?

As a healthy individual who never goes to the doctor in Colorado, very poorly. I pay $158 a month and have a $5000 deductible and that is the cheapest plan I could get.....

I don't see how it's legal for the government to force you to give your money to health insurance companies.

Damn, I thought mine was bad. I think I have to hit $3,800 in a year out of pocket in their network (January to December) before they start to pay. If I get seriously injured or sick, I hope it's at the beginning of the year.

The article didn't say 100K left without insurance (or at least, it said something else once you read it). A few companies have pulled or change their coverage offerings within the state. Market forces are driving supply and demand. The number is 92K, BTW, not 100K. I guess you cannot trust a media outlet to round correctly. Anyway, there's still plenty of time for anyone to stay insured for 2017. This article is full of disjointed quotes sprinkled into rather over the top editorial commentary. Many of the quotes don't even agree with the commentary to which they are juxtaposed.

Your comment has buzzwords, but no content.

Hopefully Americans start waking up and realizing that big government doesn't fix problems, it only creates new ones.

I want to print that on a hat.

I live in Colorado. It took me SIX MONTHS and countless hours of phone calls to even finally get setup for my health insurance. "Connect for health colorado" is literally the most incompetent institution I have ever dealt with.

A state reaps what they sow. They also generated $70 million in marijuana tax revenue in 2015

This is contradictory?

You bet it is. Main point being is why do we let the Feds control what the states can take care for themselves ? I'm all for legalization and the tax revenue it generates. CO is, just by the marijuana tax, closing in on $1 million for each uninsured person.
