Obamacare is gaining traction

The percentage of uninsured has fallen from 17% to 15% . This is the lowest since 2008. Thirteen million people have become insured. This includes nine million people that signed up for Medicaid.

This is a guppy... oh, and notice that you have to go back to the Bush years when things were better. Hope your dick doesn't hurt too much from your hobnails.

Apparently Medicaid recipients in 2008 totaled about 59 million people.

http://www.ncd.gov/publications/2013...5/20130315_Ch2

At an average cost of about $7,500 a year.

In 2012 BEFORE ACA enrollment began Medicaid enrollees topped 72 million.

That would be roughly a 25% increase before ANY "OBAMACARE" ENROLLMENT BEGAN.

The "interesting" aspect of the "tale of the tape" is ...

........... it's a sign of the sorry ass job Obama has done with improving the economy. More people on welfare.

The Obama administration has, for months now, been peddling nice-sounding numbers as to how many people are gaining health coverage due to Obamacare. But their numbers have been inflated on two fronts. First, not everyone who has “selected a marketplace plan” under Obamacare has actually paid the required premiums, payment being required to actually gain coverage. Second, only a fraction of people on the exchanges were previously uninsured. A new survey from McKinsey gives us a better view into the real numbers. Of the 3.3 million people that the White House has touted as Obamacare exchange “sign-ups,” less than 500,000 are actual uninsured people who have actually gained health coverage.

....

Of the Obamacare sign-ups, only 27 percent had been previously uninsured in 2013. And of the 27 percent, nearly half had yet to pay a premium. (By contrast, among the 73 percent who had been previously insured, 86 percent had paid.)

Put all those percentages together, and you get two key stats. Only 19 percent of those who have paid a premium were previously uninsured. Among those that the administration is touting as sign-ups, only 14 percent are previously uninsured enrollees: approximately 472,000 people as of February 1.

So all this bullshit for less than half a million people gaining healthcare coverage? My guess is they are the radically unhealthy 500K. Now even more of my tax money is going to give people healthcare now.

Nice graph, CBJ7. It shows more people were insured during the Bush administration. Didn't know you were such a supporter of President W.

I'd like JDIdiot and I.fffyyyy to describe their new health care insurance policies for us

They're so busy worrying about the poor bastards who are now able to get it ... And piss them off ... That they haven't divulged how they're covered and by whom.

I figure both of them to be on government assistance of some kind.

Come on, shitforbrains, fess up! .who covers you, how much do you pay and how much do I pay for you?

News Flash For Obama Idiots:

That factoid (flightr65's claim) is NOT a fact; but a poll result !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




When Sebilus was asked how many have signed up, she responded:
'We Do Not Have Any Reliable Data Around Enrollment'
CNN reports only 4.2 million have signed up; significantly less than the 6 million who lost their insurance due to Obamacare !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FACTS JACKS !!!!!
