    Aon’s performance shows that private enterprise works substantially better than the bureaucracies ran by the government. This trend might slow in the future, but I believe it will outperform the government’s exchange.

  2. Thomas E says:

    It is not surprising that the enrollment has quadrupled for Aon. Considering that the stock price of all major insurance companies have increased substantially since Obamacare was approved, proves that the market are much more confident in the success of the private exchanges and plans than those offered by the government. In a free market economy as ours, this shouldn’t surprise anyone.

    It is also important to show that there were people who changed their level of coverage for the period 2014. This shows that there is a period of adjustment, in which people will change their plans according to their needs, without any lasting impact.

    It is easy to understand why New Hampshire is nearing the expansion of Medicaid. They have expended given that they won’t have to spend any money. This means that the state will provide coverage to those who needs it, without compromising the financial stability of the state. Republicans opposed this expansion not because they were greedy and wanted to make the sick suffer (as the Daily Show claims to be the reason in the following clip: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/28/daily-show-medicaid-expansion_n_4874168.html). They rejected the expansion because by expanding it the state will be responsible for an increasing amount of the costs in the future (something that was conveniently omitted by the producers of the previously mentioned show). Some states cannot afford Medicaid expansion, which is why they rejected it. They placed the wellbeing of the majority over the needs of a few, something that the Supreme Court allowed them to do.

  5. Manuel C says:

    It is important to remember that the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the States, forcing them to incur unaffordable costs was unconstitutional. I think that New Hampshire is scoring a big win by approving the expansion without committing future liabilities.

    “The men in this study were not properly individually dosed and monitored, which explains why the testosterone treatment they received failed to restore their blood testosterone levels to anywhere near cardio-protective ranges.”

    This is as bad as the omega-3s causing prostate cancer

    “Year-Two Enrollment Results Show Private Health Exchanges Can Mitigate Costs and Create Greater Individual Accountability”

    It’s what Republicans have been trying to say for months!
