Can they vote at the same time? Might as well. What month will be Election MONTH? Will gov't employees get the entire month off to vote like they used to get Election DAY off or 1/2 Day. Maybe only 1/2 month. That crowd could be the folks that got caught as illegal aliens and were released without telling law enforcement. WHY would you wait until the last day to take advantage of such a MARVELOUS offer? It just doesn't make sense. |

How many in the total numbers had medical insurance that got cancelled because of Obama Care, so they would have to go to the medical exchange. The number that did not have medical care to begin with, that this law was suppose to help, has changed very little. My wifes medical insurance has gone up 100%(doubled) since this crap began. Where is my $2500 savings? It's all a scheme of numbers. It's cheaper to pay the fine and go on medicade!! Why are the Unions now against it? Just wait till their defirment goes away next year, they will be in the same boat as the rest of us!!! But, elections will be over by then and the Demos will have already gotten their vote. "SO WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE!" |

I thought the whole purpose of Obamacare was to get 40,000 uninsured amercians health care insurance. Even if the 7 million number is accurate (which is unlikey) what about the other 33 million still uninsured? Was the cost and changing 1/6 of the economy worth it? The article White House boasts 7 MILLION Obamacare enrollments, but secretive study shows just 858,000 newly insured Americans have paid up! Press secretary Jay Carney will only say 'we're aggregating a lot of data' when asked how many enrollees have paid for coverage Also dodges questions about damning study that showed very few Obamacare customers were uninsured before the law took effect Percentages from a hush-hush RAND Corporation study suggest barely 858,000 previously uninsured Americans have enrolled and paid premiums President Obama will deliver a triumphant speech Tuesday afternoon following a panic-induced enrollment flood at the last minute HHS Secretary Sebelius met a televised challenge Monday about 'unpopular' Obamacare with lengthy awkward silence Aside from the issue of the numbers' likely decrease when non-paying enrollments are taken into account, administration officials have been coy about a RAND Corporation study that shows relatively few Obamacare enrollees were previously uninsured. If those numbers hold, the actual net gain of paid policies among Americans who lacked medical insurance in the pre-Obamacare days would be just 858,298. President Barack Obama is scheduled to issue his own triumphant proclamation Tuesday afternoon at 4:15, less than a day after the Obamacare open enrollment period technically came to a close. As information about the chasm between Obamacare's promises and its reality have reached the public, the program has become more and more unpopular – a fact that Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius met with awkward silence during a Monday television interview in Oklahoma.

I really doubt 7 million signed up for ObamaCare,,,,and even if that figure is accurate, that is the number signing up,,,,selecting a plan possibly, yet doesn't mean they will pay the first premium notice. If they don't pay the premium notice,,,they still aren't covered. Back to square one! As of now, depending on each state's records, 15% to 40% of those sent their first premium notices after selecting a plan, haven't paid the premium bill. They either don't have the money,,,thought the cost was still too high,,,figure they don't get sick anyway,,,the cell phone and cable tv bill is more important to pay,,,etc etc The projected target age range that the ObamaCare plan was shooting for to sign up before March 31st, were those in the 21 to 35 age bracket. The target number was 40% of those in that age range, yet figures now show they have only signed up to 25% of those people. Why do you think they ran tv ads with LeBron James and Jay Z touting how great ObamaCare was, and to sign up now? You didn't see Wilford Brimley doing tv ads to capture the older segment. ObamaCare is dependent upon younger people signing up, paying their premiums, to balance out the costs to support the plan. Failure, as I see.....and unsustainable! |

REPORT: Only 1/3 were from previously uninsured...
Avik Roy, Forbes Staff Today is March 31, 2014: in theory, the last day you can sign up for coverage under the subsidized Obamacare insurance exchanges. If you’ve been a regular reader of this space, you know that the numbers routinely paraded by the Obama administration regarding Obamacare website sign-ups don’t tell us much about the actual number of uninsured individuals who have gained coverage. A new study from the RAND Corporation indicates that only one-third of exchange sign-ups were previously uninsured. The RAND study hasn’t yet been published, but its contents were made available to Noam Levey of the Los Angeles Times. RAND also estimates that 9 million individuals have purchased health plans directly from insurers, outside of the exchanges, but that “the vast majority of these people were previously insured.” The RAND report appears to corroborate the work of other surveys. Earlier this month, McKinsey reported that 27 percent of those signing up for coverage on the individual market were previously uninsured. Around 1/4 of exchange enrollees were previously uninsured White House Announces 6 Million Obamacare 'Sign-Ups,' But Number of Uninsured Enrollees Remains A Mystery Avik RoyForbes Staff
If you apply that math to the RAND figures, you get this: of the people who have paid their first month’s premium on the Obamacare exchanges, and are thereby enrolled in coverage, 76 percent were previously insured, and 24 percent were previously uninsured. Two caveats. First, we know little about RAND’s survey methodology at this time; we’ll have to see the actual study to see the details of what they did. Second, we don’t know how many previously uninsured people signed up for off-exchange coverage, above and beyond the normal rate of churn that this market would traditionally see. CBO predicted nearly all exchange enrollees would be previously uninsured What’s important to remember is that this is not how Obamacare was supposed to work. The Congressional Budget Office, in its original estimates, predicted that the vast majority of the people eligible for subsidies on the exchanges would be previously uninsured individuals. Instead, the vast majority are previously insured people, many of whom are getting a better deal on the exchanges because they either qualify for subsidies, or because they’re older individuals who benefit from the law’s steep rate hikes on the young. This is a problem that may get worse over time, as the cost of plans continues to go up. In the McKinsey survey, of those who had decided not to sign up for Obamacare, the most common reason was the “affordability” of the offered plans. Indications from insurers like Aetna and WellPoint is that the premiums on the exchange will go up substantially next year. The bottom line is this: there are a lot of numbers flying around out there about how many people are benefiting from Obamacare. A big part of the reason is political; advocates of the law want to claim that so many millions of people are dependent on the law for coverage, that it will be difficult to repeal. I agree with them that the law will be difficult to repeal, but that’s no excuse for whitewashing the real problems with affordability and access in the Obamacare exchanges. |
