re: CBO: Obamacare will have lower premiums, insure more, and cost government less

Here is an article from today's Politico that pretty much cements my comments.

Health insurers got their first taste of Obamacare this year. And they want seconds.
Insurers saw disaster in the fall when Obamacare’s rollout flopped and HealthCare.gov was a mess. But a strong March enrollment surge, along with indications that younger and healthier people had begun signing up, has changed their attitude. Around the country, insurers are considering expanding their stake in the Obamacare exchanges next year, bringing their business to more states and counties. Some health plans that skipped the new marketplaces altogether this year are ready to dive in next year.

Again, the proof will be in consumer pocketbooks and in the voting booth.
As the employer mandate hits, rumor has it that prices are set to escalate. At the same time, up to 40 million additional consumers will be tossed into the Exchanges like last week's detritus. We'll see then how "cemented" your comments are.

Most of your comments in this thread have been objectively wrong, and displayed ignorance on several aspects of the issues you've brought up.
The fact that your article claims some insurers want to expand their presence on exchanges has no bearing on most of them.
That article, btw, is full weasel phrases reflecting uncertainty and unwillingness to actually make a prediction, and utterly lacks data backing up the claims.
