you have to give them a little while.  they have to find some proof that the author of that article is related to somebody whose roommate in college knew a girl who's dad was a janitor who may or may not have said some racist stuff 27 years ago......so that they can tell everyone not to believe what it says.

That's a given!  It is the elderly, and the sick that are most concerned about and anxious to be covered.

Humana’s exchange offerings lean toward pricier plans with more generous coverage, so it’s unclear what the company’s warnings say for the rest of the system, McDonald said.

“It’s worth asking the question of whether Humana believes the entire exchange risk pool is worse than anticipated,” McDonald wrote, or whether the company’s own mix of products is partly to blame

sure

whatever the reason

who cares about what that reason might be

let's just assume it's whatever reason we prefer it to be

btw - I'm not surprised at all the people who were unable to get insurance are now signing up for it

wasn't the objective to get at many those 49 million without insurance onto some kind of plan?
