Social Security is demanding payment on the "IOUs" Congress replaced all of the cash they found burning a hole in their pocket for the last 30+ years!

300 million people are eventually going to be covered by the SAME insurer. And this insurer is the same "entity" that runs the Postal Service (which is in shambles), social security (which is broke), medicare (which is faltering), medicaid (which is also having difficulty), etc. And we're supposed to feel confident in their abilities????
