Yes, let the marketplace take over. Scrap Obamacare except for keeping the pre-existing conditions and under 26 year old mandate. Protect the people who signed up for the scrapped Obamacare by subsidizing them for a period of time. Will be quite a mess for awhile and probably cost billions, but cheaper in the long run than letting Obamacare lurch forward.

Not a penny for the insurance companies. They saw Obamacare as a windfall profit opportunity. A bad business decision for which they and their shareholders will have to pay the piper. Some weak companies may fail but the financially stronger companies will pick them up at a discount. Yes, let the marketplace take over but not at taxpayer expense.

With the Government out of the way the free enterprise system will right the ship in no time at all. Well, that fixes that problem. Somebody else can work out the details.

I understand the distaste for bailing out the insurance companies and I don't like it either. However, I think it is absolutely necessary as the last thing we want is leave a vacuum of no coverage that only the government can fill. This is the trap this fiasco has set. It would be exactly what the dems desire to move to a single payer system.

People don't want compromise. They want their healthcare back.

There compromise is costing me 7000$ more a year for two.

I been hearing this for over 65 years and look what it has gotten us.

It has gotten you 65 years with many more to come. You can ask for nothing more. Be grateful and keep on trucking. The next exit could lead to what we all are searching for.

NO I got myself there by working my ass off for 65 years for what I have.

Is not a problem young lady.  When you get to my age you will feel the same or even more so.  You are young and have a lot more taxes ahead of you if we can not stop these fools.

Bankrupt companies still operate. Bankrupt does not mean shutting your doors when you are that large.

CMS Official: We Don't Know Yet Who Has Paid Their ObamaCare Premiums

From Oregon!!

News release:

State Rep. Jason Conger (R-Bend) said Wednesday he has sent a letter to Gov. John Kitzhaber urging him to close down the failed "Cover Oregon" health care exchange.

"Cover Oregon is a huge and costly failure and a national embarrassment for Oregon," Conger wrote. "Members of the Legislature, including me, had to decide between a Federal Government exchange or one Oregon-controlled. We opted for local control.

"We put our trust in your administration to execute a functional healthcare exchange and you have failed. It is unacceptable to waste more taxpayer money on a failed system that will never work as promised."

Conger said that there may be as much as $200 million of the $304 million the federal government provided to Oregon for the state exchange that has not been spent and urged Kitzhaber to return the unused funds (and any funds recovered from the Cover Oregon contractors) to the U.S. Treasury to pay down the national debt.
