Total US population 320M
Total Uninsured 39M
Total goal for Obamacare sign up intentionally 17M
Total of actually signed up (new goal 6M) 7M


20000 page law for 2.5% of the population and that is on the high side since we don't know of the 7M had insurance and lost it and also who has actually paid.

Could be that your company has a significant claim history...do you have a number of older workers or workers who are getting more medical care?
.


This is probably the reason Our average worker is 50 years old. Also we've had 4 people on our plan with cancer All 4 are women with breast cancer. Also several older men with heart problems.

Everyone forgets about the 20+ years where we had a young workforce and few claims were made. As a small company we've always paid more.
