Why Obamacare won't spiral into fiery, actuarial doom. "The rumors of an Obamacare death spiral have been greatly exaggerated.

Even if young people sign up at half the rate the administration hopes for, it would nudge premiums up only by a few percentage points, their report says. "When you do the math, it matters, but not nearly as much as the conventional wisdom suggests," Levitt says." Sarah Kliff in The Washington Post.
