The Invisible Hand of the Free Market slaps "ACA = Socialized Medicine!" claims upside the head Part 7

OK, technically this is only the 2nd separate entry under the "Invisible Hand Slaps!" moniker, but I've posted 5 updates to the original one and it started to get unwieldy, so I'm calling this "Part 7" instead:

UnitedHealth Group Inc. will apply to sell Obamacare plans in 24 states next year, vastly broadening the footprint of the nation’s largest insurer, which had stood largely on the sidelines during the law’s first year.

UnitedHealth  UNH  is expanding its reach sixfold, from just four states where it is participating in plans offered under theAffordable Care Act.  The Minnetonka, Minn.-based insurer plans to offer coverage in such states as Florida, Louisiana, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas.
