Everyone tells me that the only thing we need for Obamacare to be successful is for young people to sign up. What world do they live in? Most people who are all for Obamacare don't use Obamacare. They have either employer based, VA or are on disability. To them it does not matter who cares what does not effect them, protect the president. But just as I said all along those who sign up will be those receiving subsidize and they certainly are going to be all for obamacare. But the middle class stuck with no subsidizes and the incredible high price are the ones hurt. BTW those who have employer based HC do realize that the company picks up most of the tab. That amount is paid by those forced onto Obamacare.

The large subsidies for health insurance that helped fuel the successful drive to sign up some 8 million Americans for coverage under the Affordable Care Act may push the cost of the law considerably above current projections, a new federal report indicates..

Nearly 9 in 10 Americans who bought health coverage on the federal government’s healthcare marketplaces received government assistance to offset their premiums.

That assistance helped lower premiums for consumers who bought health coverage on the federal marketplaces by 76% on average, according to the new report from the Department of Health and Human Services.

Premiums that normally would have cost $346 a month on average instead cost consumers just $82, with the federal government picking up the balance of the bill.
