Since this thread seems to have become yet another political name calling contest ...
Take the time to read this article. If the report is accurate it says a lot about the background of this (nothing to do with the website but in light of the political course this thread has taken it seems apropos).

I just read an article that gave a lot of reasons to pause and consider what is going on with the ACA AKA: Obamacare.

In the original Affordable Care Act there was to be granted $10 Billion as seed money for qualified entities to establish "Healthcare Co-Ops" in the local communities or states.

Before you start screaming -- less federal spending! This is spending to be controlled by persons in your local area, in competition with the very same healthcare insurers, that may rake in the largest share of the profits to be gained by the mandatory stipulation in the ACA (Obamacare legislation) that you protest so loudly ...

So what happened ... read the article

Health co-ops, created to foster competition and lower insurance costs, are in danger
