Without reading the above I'll leave you with this: It needs more healthy participants, and if you give it time and support it the it may work out fine.

Yes it may work with healthy people subsidizing the unhealthy. It also may collapse and take the health care system with it.
Bingo
BTW, what's with your profile pic? It's hard to tell what it is on my phone, but it looks it's a pic of Neturei Karta?!
Should healthy people be forced to subsidize the unhealthy? Even if yes should that chance of it possibly working be taken at the potential cost of collapsing the entire healthcare system?
Healthy people are buying insurance to use in case they get sick, not just subsidizing poor people.
Anyone have any DP's on financial assistance for marketplace plans? The website is useless and the reps keep saying "just fill out an application".
Baloney. I'm paying more than double for my family than I was 3 years ago, and almost every top tier doctor in the city of los angeles won't take any insurance anymore. So both I and my wife had to switch doctors more than once. Cedars Sinai Medical Center and UCLA, the two best hospitals in town, take 2 insurances. 2. So I'm paying a ton more, have a 10K deductible instead of a 2500 deductible, and still have to worry about finding a decent doctor. And everyone I know who was paying their own way before (not on welfare of some sort) has the same issue.
Update: just got my renewal for next year. Premium is going up 27%. deductible is higher, and they are removing ALL out of network coverage (used to be 50% up to the deductible amount). I eagerly await all the explanations of why this is really good for me.
Well, if you were in downstate NY, none of the individual plans sold on exchange ever included out of network benefits IIRC.Maybe a PM to @Matovu will get you an explanation of why Obamacare might be good for you.
