Trouble in Obamacare paradise?
The sabotage of Ocare appears to have worked. Sign ups went from nearly 790k in last week of 2016 to about 375k in last two weeks of 2017

Sabotage, Sam? Really?
The "sabotage"? You mean the one caused by the people who wrote such an awful, unsustainable law that was imploding from day 1?

@jtLOL nothing to do with insane premium spikes, and fewer plans to choose, I'm sure.

Sam, 2008 $98/mo. -> 2017 $298/mo. For 20 somethings that don't get use HC, $3600/yr. is impossible. ACA was never affordable.

Or… people chose not to sign up. Amazing concept https://t.co/8FlaQLsfoh
