TG, our man in Alaska, encountered this laudable attempt to explain the unaffordable Affordable Care Act.
"In order to insure the uninsured, we first have to uninsure the insured.
Next we need to require the newly uninsured to be re-insured.
To re-insure the newly uninsured, they are required to pay extra charges to be re-insured.
The extra charges are required so that the originally insured (who became uninsured and then became re-insured) pay enough extra so that the originally uninsured can be insured for free.
There, I hope that this clarifies this issue once and for all."
