Do they not know that those kids don't actually have to buy insurance until they hit age 27?<br /><br />And what a deal: let 'em vote at 18 for people whose policies won't affect them for nearly ten years!MAX Redlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12040240474444763721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17669835.post-14695237368080175712014-07-05T10:38:12.626-07:002014-07-05T10:38:12.626-07:00Yes, it was NY that was touting its big savings.

But, that will be down the line and you won't find the New York Times bringing up the $2,500 savings then as they are not doing now.<br /><br />As for Cover Oregon, it was a complete disaster. I agree with you that the Feds were and will still be a disaster, just not to the extent Cover Oregon was. Not good news for anyone needing to get health coverage through the "exchanges".<br /><br />It's only bound to get worse as work coverage gets dumped in.<br />T.

Even <i>I</i> knew that was a one-time political move.<br /><br />But come November, when some 80,000 who managed to enroll (eventually) under Cover Oregon are forced to re-enroll on the federal exchange, things are going to get even better - because Cover Oregon's own metrics indicate that the transition to the federal exchange has a "high risk of failure".<br /><br />So it's likely to be the same thing all over again, and more people will be left out. Those who do obtain insurance will likely, once again, have to do so on the open market at very high cost.MAX Redlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12040240474444763721noreply@blogger.com
