Insurers Can Make Obamacare Work, But They Need Help From Congress | FiveThirtyEight

According to these Idiots just cut out the Brokers (even though we pretty much are). Then just limit networks....happened already. They said just follow the Molina Healthcare model.

My favorite quote from the article is this:

Insurers aren’t all struggling equally. Some, such as Molina Healthcare and Centene, are actually making money on the exchanges. Others lose just a little — Goldman Sachs estimates Anthem loses 5 cents on every dollar it makes selling Obamacare policies. A few lose a lot: United is losing 20 cents on the dollar, about $850 million total this year, and some analysts think Aetna may be losing about 15 cents, though the company itself says it’s a little less than a dime.​

Ummm, okay. I'm gullible. The way they word that, it appears that you make $1.00, and lose only 15 cents, then you can keep 85 cents. But that's not the way losses work. It means if you make $1.00 and lose 15 cents, then you lost $1.15. That kind of loss really adds up when you are talking about millions and billions of dollars.
