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

@samsteinhp The Obama admin in 8 yrs never reached their signup goals and now you're going to blame Trump? https://t.co/me4IOxmgga

@samsteinhp can it be sabotage if it's a trainwreck?

See, Sam, there are actually several possible explanations for the drop in signups:
Sabotage? You mean people not being able to pay the premiums and so choosing to remain uninsured? Because that’s what’s happening. https://t.co/XRDYmD5qpY

By the time people pay their premiums each month they can’t afford to pay copays and deductibles. It’s cheaper to be uninsured. https://t.co/XRDYmD5qpY

Lots of people have to choose between health insurance and food, electricity, transportation, etc… So they drop insurance. https://t.co/XRDYmD5qpY

@samsteinhp maybe it has more to do with massive cost you know a concern for everyday Americans

@samsteinhp or people decided they didn't want the product offered at the price quoted?
— RFJ (@amaoesquerda) February 3, 2017
@samsteinhp @jtLOL nothing to do with insane premium spikes, and fewer plans to choose, I'm sure.

@samsteinhp 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

@samsteinhp Nah, people just realized it sucks.

Or maybe there’s an even simpler explanation:
@redsteeze they mustve seen the nude Lena Dunham ad.

Inspired by @captdope, here's a commercial for HEALTH INSURANCE. https://t.co/e8KpWkyQz1– get what's yours #pullthisad ? pic.twitter.com/LcJP9GdnbU

That’ll do it.
So yeah @samsteinhp going to guess this did infinitely more damage to Obamacare enrollment than Trump https://t.co/nXRtQm5AR2
