Colorado Obamacare "Brosurance"

[Dave]

They need a large majority of men to sign up for health care coverage to make it cost effective. Women are significantly larger consumers of health care than men but one of the laws is that premiums must be equal for each gender ... so if men don't sign up it will increase costs dramatically.

It's much cheaper for me to pay the penalty than to have insurance --- I know better with the high risk activities I participate in that I need insurance but a lot of self employed folks can't afford it.

One thing missing is that they need young men to sign up. Healthy people that will not use anything in their plan but be forced to pay into it to cover the fact that genders are charged the same and they can only charge seniors a certain amount more (3x I think?) than the 18-22 year olds. The penalty is paid into the IRS, so who knows if it will actually go back to Obamacare funds or some other slush fund.

They need them to sign up.
They are banking on it.

Isn't the IRS penalty for not getting it only $95 for 2014 year and goes up each year to $700 or something? I looked the other day and the amount I'd pay per year would be $2,999. Yeah that makes sense. I double checked and if I only made $24,000 it'd still cost $1587 a year minimum.

does that guy have on several polo shirts? I have never seen that before. they must be only be "friends" because that looks a lot light in the loafers.

Brother and sister.

What's more 80's than a Polo with a popped collar? 4 Polos with popped collars!!!

...and he's probably wearing 4 pairs of jeans with the bottoms cuffed and rolled.

Hence the reason the entire pyramid scheme is doomed to fail...
aren't you eligible to leech off your parents insurance until you are 26?

The entire scheme is built to obfuscate the real motivation behind it...

-yeah, not sure I see how that's going to work out when extrapolated across the overall population.
