The effective outcome is a means to prop up insurance companies and then mandate their use. If you grant those two stipulations then the forthcoming results are common sense.

My working theory is he has some kind of alert system that automatically emails him the moment an idiotic politically motivated GDNet thread appears.

"some kind of alert system" does no justice to describe the "Troll-a-tron" three thousand sir. Actually I found a link to a coding question from google that lead me here and I thought I'd check in on the world famous "Lounge" I see you're still very active with your anti-political trolling Roy. Did you ever show your doctor where the bad pundit touched you? 
So without wishing to derail the conversation too far*, apparently the healthcare.gov system is comprised of 500 million lines of code. Yes, loc is a terrible metric to measure software complexity, but still, that's a really big number.
Frankly, I am highly skeptical, especially given the source isAccording to one specialist, the Web site contains about 500 million lines of software code. By comparison, a large bank’s computer system is typically about one-fifth that size.
Anyone else believe this?
*mods, I'm happy to make a new topic if you prefer.

@ Khaiy
As time has gone on, more sites have brought this topic up of what "deductible" is defined as under the ACA .. insurance policies are written to define "deductible" as the money that is payed before the insurance policy picks up the costs.
Regardless of what you have seen in the past, "deductible" and "co-pay" no longer work the way you believe .

No need to worry. I've been pushing for a total ban on political threads here for how many years now? But here we are. My mission continues to be a failure.

I'm not seeing where your links disagree with how I defined any of the cost-sharing arrangements from upthread. I might just be missing it. My best guess about your point is that that there is that your link describes the deductible as needing to be met before the insurance company will pay anything. I don't doubt that that's at least as common as it ever was, which is to say extremely, and so the vast majority of plans will operate that way. If you want to suggest that the middle portion of my deductible explanation was mistaken, even in light of my second post, fine, take the point. Though it is historically one of the options insurance companies offered, it may be rare to the point of extinction now. I've no idea what you're describing when you suggest that "co-pay" has changed.
Everything else I described is defined exactly as I defined it. I don't understand the inclusion of your second link at all, but it's nothing new to the ACA.
