Priced out of insurance market

Regarding "Low enrollment expected to amp up pressure to tinker with ACA":

The problem is that healthcare is now affordable for those who are going to get it free. However, it is now too expensive for those who used to have it to afford it. I have been personally priced out of the market. My healthcare insurance should not cost more than my house or car payment.

I found your initial online headline to be very misleading: “HealthCare.gov sees fewer than 27,000 signups since Oct. 1.”

Your headline suggested that no one is signing up for the new plans. Your article then went on to say: “Nationally, just over 106,000 individuals signed up for coverage through the exchanges. California had the highest number of enrollments, with just over 35,000.”

You then mention: “Enrollment in public programs is proceeding much more briskly. Nearly 400,000 individuals were determined to be eligible for either Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program during the first six weeks of enrollment.”

So, let me get this right, lots of people nationwide are utilizing the newly available plans to obtain health insurance coverage. So why not present it that way in the first place? I fail to understand why there is so much subterfuge and misinformation associated with everything surrounding this law.
