I had a professor in college who explained why you have to pay in advance for insurance. Otherwise, as he put it… (customer talking to the insurance agent) “Sorry but I want to cancel my coverage for last year. I thought I was going to need insurance, but I was mistaken!”
“In the exchange: You’re not insured until you pay.”
I wish more people would realize this. Many people probably think they’re set just by getting through the website.
In the exchange: You’re not insured until you pay.
I’d sure hope that’s the way it works. I certainly don’t get anything for free in other areas where I shop.
I bet a lot of people will be disappointed by this, though.

70% of California docs not in the exchange.
It’s beginning to look like the exchange is health coverage for people too poor for Medicaid.
The perverse bit of it is that it’s not. “Make too much to qualify for Medicaid, then here’s some worse insurance!”
Meaningful-use deadline pushed back one year.
I get the idea that the real problem is that the Administration is having a hard time identifying a use that has any meaning.
They certainly don’t have one regarding themselves.
“Meaningful-use deadline pushed back one year.”
In other words, “This isn’t working how we expected it to, so we’re going to delay to save face.”
“70% of California docs not in the exchange.”
I’m surprised it’s not more.
Give it time.
