Don't believe the numbers. No one really knows who has paid and who hasn't. If you don't know that, you don't know how many are enrolled.

    Someone needs to ask Obama,"Is this a new lie or just another of your recycled lies". We all know that the king if lyers is his majesty Obama. So if it came from him or his subjects, then it has to be another lie.

    The original people who were thrown into medicare/medicaid of 800,000 sounds about right. Even though they do not pay. The 5 mil. they talk of is just a ruse like the unemployment rate that is the lowest since his majesty has become king. So if they come I will not falter, I will not fail. I will not pay for something I am forced to pay for. Now how many will stick to this? John Galt did.

    What happen to the 50 million or so that were without health insurance last year, then add to that figure those that lost insurance because of Obamacare. I doubt that there are really 5 million that are really insured under Obamacare, Obama lies a lot. If they have enrolled 10 percent of total uninsured, that still adds up to a big failure. Repeal and replace Obamacare.

      A question I have not seen answered is how many of the 5M are people who had coverage and lost it vs how many uninsured . No one is answering that question.

        Wouldn’t that answer come by way of an educated guess made by a number -cruncher? I don’t think that data is really being collected. I haven’t ventured onto any of the websites so I don’t know what questions they ask when you sign-up, but I don’t think they ask about your former policies, do they?
        How would they know?

          Somewhere I picked up that about 60% were former insurance holders, that got dropped or dropped voluntarily so that they could pick up the exchange based insurance plans (and many of them did so because they now qualified for Medicare). So, take the 80% estimate that have actually paid, and subtract the 60% that had insurance previously, and you get about 20% of new enrollees that previously weren't insured. That's about 1 million of the estimated 30 million that were the reason that we created this monstrosity to begin with, or a little over a 3% success rate. If this were private business, the whole management would be canned by now.

        Thank-you for that. I’m hoping for a real crisis like when they rolled out the website. Pretty-please.

          A real crisis may be just what "they" are hoping to create. They don't let a crisis pass by unused, and I think the purpose of the ACA crisis is to scrap ACA by moving EVERYBODY into Medicaid, the new "single-payer" system.

          "We realize how disappointed everyone is in the ACA, but the NEW AND IMPROVED version of MEDICAID will solve all those problems. Oh, and all you doctors, all you hospitals? You're all Federal employees now. Don't open your mouths with complaints, and don't try to quit. Quitting is treason."

          Maybe I'm just flapping my wings or my jaw. Someone else runs the zoo.

            Hilary will move everybody to a single-payer system. It has been a goal of hers for a long time. Though, I don’t think she would have ever stooped to dressing up doctors in white lab coats, then having them pose on the White House lawn, fraudulently passing them off as supporters to the press. Obama is much more the used car salesman.
