Obamacare continues chugging along, and Congressional democrats have started getting upset with the White House. The WH Deadline for Healthcare.gov working smoothly, Nov 30, comes closer. New statistics state that only 160,000 have signed up through the system, one quarter of which went through the Federal site (which covers 36 states), the rest of which going though the significantly more effective state sites (which cover only 14 states and the district of Columbia).
I enjoy how the inept republican states are the ones who did not set up their own exchanges, and their flood of uninsured poor [especially elderly people in the south] are the ones slowing the entire system.
Now to why
a.) Because they know they couldn't do it with any sense of ability [Likely]
b.) They don't understand the concept of 'private insurance exchanges' in the first place [Likely]
c.) To hamper the federal exchange, which was not supposed to handle a majority of the states in the US [Most likely]
This just helps to show how inept and political state legislatures have become. Synonym: Pathetic.
Way to prove that you're better than those socialist Californian/Kentuckites with your massive amounts of uninsured fat people.

[Kentucky is slightly blending in with the state-federals because of the high obesity level skewing its color, it is the only state-only exchange in the south]
I overlayed the obesity rate map over the health insurance exchange map. My rudimentary key should show my point rather well.
I am only taking into account those areas with the 'critical' levels of obesity [25%+].
Just would like to mention how well those states are running their health care systems. [Not]
They can't even setup their own marketplaces because they have too many extremely obese uninsured people [thanks to their own cutting of health programs, child benefits, education systems, etc] to be able to run a self-sustaining exchange, its almost like they're trying to be a parody of what 'state's rights' used to be.
