What happens to all those folks with no insurance...?

...whose indvidual policies expire in January???

Where will they go to find coverage? Since many of them would rather die than sign up for the socialistic Obamacare, what will they do?

My guess would be that they will sneak on their computer and take a look at Obamacare? And they will not have a problem signing on.

Otherwise, they may choose to go without any coverage.

I would guess that the numbers signing up will rise dramatically in January.

She would die before she would sign up for "Obamascare" and have death panels decide her fate. What a blithering idiot. She said "they" would fill the emergency rooms with patients and bring the healthcare system to it's knees. I guess....

I really think when push comes to shove they will do what is best for their families and pocketbook. Some diehards may not, but I cannot believe she would let her boys go without insurance.

She made a bad decision before when she left the University and it's insurance and other benefits to go to work for her family, but that is another issues entirely.

especially when the fine ratchets up. It's much better to pay and get something than pay and get nothing!
