SNAP participation, which generally moves up and down with the economy, has dropped. Moreover, with more people, the trend is usually upward. We also have to add how the eligibility rules were relaxed under Bush.
Time is running out on taking pot shot at the first African American POTUS , you better hurry up and
get all of your digs in before time runs out and it's forever too late LOLLLLLL......
Weird the ONLY person who touted him as a success or failure because of his skin color
Weird how you run around talking about how the numbers of people on welfare have dropped due to the improving economy, but dont recognize the SAME THING happens with the insured.
Thats why your charts for the insuranced numbers start in 2008..

The insurance rate also goes up and down with the economy..
Your graph (post# 1171) has two things wrong with it. The first is that it sends in 2011, close to the height of the recession. The second is that it was produced by the Heritage Foundation, who invents spurious information to support one-sided viewpoints.

WHY SO DISHONEST MTA?
My answer is here:

The Persistence of ACA Denialism
I guess people with strong political preferences have always had a hard time accepting facts that are at odds with those prejudices;

Anyway, the latest line I’ve been hearing is that the decline in the uninsured rate isn’t really about the ACA, it’s just the improving economy. Now, the same people, like pghquest, who say such things tend to deny that the economy is really improving, too — Obamacare was supposed to be a job killer, so it must be killing jobs. But never mind. What about claims that the improving economy is the real story?
The answer is in two parts. First, the decline in the number of uninsured is too steep, too perfectly timed with the coming of the ACA to make sense in such terms. Uninsurance was rising until late 2013, despite a recovering economy, then suddenly fell off a cliff just as the ACA went into full effect. Not a coincidence.
Second, we are now at a point where a much smaller fraction of Americans are uninsured than we’ve seen in a long time, maybe ever.

Ironic. The people who are being dishonest calling others dishonest.

Says the guy who posts charts from every discredited left wing think tank on earth. Hilarious!

But regardless of the source, the data only goes through 2011, this is a graph of the data posted by MTAtech, it clearly shows declines in SNAP participation declines through 2015

uhm
that chart shows ''monthly change''
not any real reduction of actual participants
From September 2011 through July 2014, the number of persons participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) has exceeded 46 million. As of July 2014, there were 46,486,434 beneficiaries of the SNAP program (FY16 peaked at 46.6million)..... as of oct 2015 45.8 million...down 600k...but still over 45 million http://www.fns.usda.gov/sites/defaul...NAPmonthly.pdf
now lets also not forget the laws out there:
Roughly 1 million of the nation’s poorest people will be cut off SNAP (formerly known as the Food Stamp Program) over the course of 2016, due to the return in many areas of a three-month limit on SNAP benefits for unemployed adults aged 18-50 who aren’t disabled or raising minor children, as the waivers for the last 6 years expire, back to the 1996 welfare laws standards
