Well, it's refreshing to find someone who has actually looked into it. 3 million policies got cancelled because they were crap insurance, with ridiculous limits and all kinds of exemptions for the insurors. All policies linked in the exchanges (state or Federal) meet minimum standards, so are at least definable as actual "insurance." And all policies are between private companies and individuals, so this 'government is in the insurance business' hysteria is just that.
The whole system now called Obamacare was originated in a conservative think tank at Heritage Foundation. And my belief is that a lot of the opposition to it has nothing at all to do with what it actually is; just political gamesmanship.
