Obamacare, or at least the most-touted part of it, is failing, and for not for mere technical reasons.
By expanding Medicare, it got more people insured. But the president's experiment manipulating private insurance markets has created no net benefit and is headed for disaster unless enrollment miraculously skyrockets.
That's why Obama has lately been begging the public to enroll ahead of this year's fourth marketplace enrollment period. He also intends to beg taxpayers and lawmakers to expand his program and throw more money into it rather than gut it.
He faces two challenges doing this. First, people who lacked and wanted health insurance lept at Obamacare early, or as soon as its badly designed exchange portals would let them. People who today remain uninsured today are simply less interested in getting insurance. That's why they still haven't gone out and gotten it. Sorry Obamacare, they're just not that into you!
