[QUOTE="la_mode, post: 390262, member: 5230"] Also, this "government mandated" healthcare is only by state (it's not nationwide - each insurance exchange has state specific politicies). Meaning, it can be used in one state, but not the next state over. It's still unclear as to how it will work when people do move, but it will probably just add confusion and there will be a whole new set of problems. Maybe they want everyone to stay put. The other thing, besides those who are completely on medicare/medicaid or some sort of welfare, there really are no savings, since Obamacare is "private insurance" purchased via a government veil, and ends up costing more. The average "bronze" plan (most basic plan) for a healthy 25 year old is approx. $155 per month (with slight variance by state), which would have easily been a premium plan with any insurance company before Obamacare. So many people aren't going to be able to afford Obamacare, and no one has realized that. They will sign up, think it's free, and not be able to make the monthly payments. Which could be what the government wants. It's not the same as what is found in Canada or most of Western Europe. Although it would have been possible to do something similar in the US, there's just no way they ever would when they knew they could fool the masses into wanting to pay more, while making it appear as if were "free", and attach the term "Obamacare" to it, as to pander to those who support it.
