Their potential risk is insane. Yes....6 months without insurance, but then it's come one/come all with no pre-ex period.
Some of the people applying can be chewing up 3K, 5K, 20K a month in medical services - 50K surgeries, etc...
How many people applying are on hundreds a month in meds which totally negates their premium.

JMO...Actually, Pa's rates went down this year.
Pennsylvania has the highest enrollment (2,684), because it has a low premium ($283 monthly no matter what your gender or age). However, PA is the 6th largest state by population (over 12 million). Let's do some math. I've heard that 25 million are uninsured nationally (I've heard figures of 25 to 80 million, so let's go with the smaller number). Let's divide that by 50 states, and we get 500,000 uninsured per state. PA's is bound to be higher because it's the 6th largest state by population, but let's be fair. I'll cut that number drastically and even assume that 270,000 are uninsured in PA. That means that the 2684 enrollees in the high-risk-pool constitutes almost 1% of the uninsured population. Good job, Obama. At a premium of $283 monthly, you can only get 1% of the uninsured population to enroll in insurance that pays for pre-existing conditions from day one.

I think what hurt Pa is that last year, when enrollment was low they added this:
"Any individual or family that enrolls in the Pennsylvania High Risk Pool will also receive four tickets to selected home 76ers games this year."
Shortly after that, very few people wanted to enroll.

...exposing the liberal's lie - that the uninsured are uninsured because of the evil insurance companies when in fact it's because it digs into their beer and cigarette money.

Yup and hence why a single payer system is more desirable for millions of Americans. If it's a tax, they don't see it anyway so no big deal (if they even pay taxes). If they have to actually pay premiums, gasp!
1. Over-exaggerate the problem (trillions uninsured/3000% reduction in premium/etc.)
2. Blame a scapegoat (damned greedy insurance companies)
3. Treat people like idiots (they're too stupid/uninformed/etc--see Supersize Me)
4. Step in and "help" these poor souls
5. Rinse and repeat
It's all just too Spurlockian.
I saw today where another "we are looking out for you because you are too stupid to look out for yourselves" group is demanding the retirement of one Ronald McDonald. He forces kids to eat bad food. I know, I have seen him shoving hamburgers into kids mouths in the playland. He is evil and he MUST BE STOPPED!
