The latest trendy word for the last two or three weeks, related to Obamacare, is "death-spiral".
Which is basically a term for the predicted implosion of Obamacare due to its financial unsustainability, where only sick people sign up for Obamacare, and healthy people (who wouldn't sign up at regular rates) definitely won't sign up when forced to pay double or more what their normal rates would be. At which point the system collapses.
The alternative is another government bailout, where the federal government takes over funding the program with taxpayer dollars (with either further spiking debt or higher taxes to fund it). Which some think was the Democrats' plan all along. Although not in a way that cost them such a drop in the polls.
