They also lowered their prices quite a bit to be competitive with all the other insurance companies listed as choices.

Guess all the insurance companies want some of that ACA Federal money

with the negative stigma surrounded Obamacare, by repackaging it as a private company selling insurance (which is what it actually is, but most people don't know that), it will greatly help drive enrollments, which is what we need for Obamacare to succeed. These Tea Party fools will sign up for it without even knowing it was because of Obamacare.

And because one of the new provisions in Obamacare forcing insurance companies to redirect a majority of their revenue to patient care, we should all be happy about this.
