The problem with services like this one is that your interests (getting more subscribers) are intrinsically unaligned with my interests (less competition for jobs). Let's say I give you 29$/mo, what is there to stop you from sendi

Because it is: https://github.com/CMSgov/healthcare.gov https://www.healthcare.gov/developers/ Now, why they haven't open sourced the marketplace application, that's a valid question.

It ends up as a bad thing when it eventually translates to bad public policy. Like banning stem cells research with the justification that a large portion of the public has been schooled to believe in fairy tales. So, unlike what the OP sug

Oh sure, but you'd be diluting all existing fractional unit owners. So, being taxed 10% still sounds better to me than being diluted by 50% or more because someone arbitrary decided that there are 200 fractional units now, not 100 as before
