While Amazon does have the shopping cart figured out, they don't have the
facilities, required by the law to protect the privacy of their customers.
In addition, how much various insurance companies charge various people
varies by a relatively large number of variables, and they want to keep
those variables secret just as Google wants to keep their algorithms secret
from SEO merchants.

What you have here is a collision of galaxies. Large Washington
Bureaucracies colliding with large Insurance Bureaucracies colliding with
smaller but still large state bureaucracies from 47 states. (I guess three
states have opted out??? is that right???)

Perhaps Wikipedia has become a bureaucracy... LOL

Here is a picture of three original juggernauts

The story goes that if someone falls beneath these things, they don't stop.
They can't stop. And the person is killed and ground into the dirt. The
effect of Obamacare is only important in what it does to the juggernauts of
government, insurance and government. What it does to the proles is of no
concern. The wheels of justice are lubricated with human blood.
