Didn't the Adminstration claim there were 14 or so million Americans without Healthcare insurance? What does 45 million mean? You're not confusing 47 million with 47% are you?
You've got your percentages and millions crosswired.
Did you expect enrollment to go down ? That's like applauding the number of dead people going up, not down.
CBO has already revised the estimated enrollment by 4/1 Down by 15%, from 7 million to 6 million.
Sebelius doesn't know how many Enrolled have paid premiums, nor how many previously had insurance that was cancelled by Ocare mandates.
The young/old ratio is still bad.
I give you and other Ocare lovers credit for putting Churchill's quote about 'success' into action --- "Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm."
How many of these "enrolled" have even made a payment yet.
The demographics of these "enrollees", you know, things like age group and general health. How many have their payments made by the government itself and where these numbers are actually coming from.
Also, how many of these "enrollees" did enroll to avoid being punished by their loving and caring government.
If I were you Bob, I would think twice (at least) about celebrating this fraud.
Apparently January enrollments are down. I personally don't know too many people who have purchases insurance. It doesn't make much sense. If you couldn't afford insurance before, how does this change anything? Subsidies are nice, but they come at tax time. Many live paycheck to paycheck and that doesn't help them. The first year without insurance is a $90 fee as opposed to thousands din premiums. It's sort of a no-brainer that people aren't rushing to sign up.
Also, the expansion of Medicare/Medicaid (I forget which, I get them mixed up) hasn't been fully implemented yet. In Michigan it won't hapoen til April or May.
Proof of your claim? Even the administration admits a vast increase in Medicare.
Don't forget, this administration will claim as a victory anything that they can lie about to fool the citizens.
he is correct, the 3.3 million arent the ones on medicaid per the HHS report. Its actually 6.3M new enrollees on medicaid, in addition to the 3.3 million being discussed.
That being said, a ton of the 3.3 million are indeed subsidized..
