Obamacare - "Ignore the man behind the curtain !!"
« on: May 01, 2014, 03:32:20 PM »
Looks like only 2/3rds of Obamacare enrollees have actually bought their plan.

Pro tip:  Whenever the .gov declares "It's working, it's time to move on."  That means it is NOT working and needs to be fully re-examined/evaluated.


Ala Oregon, where the entire $134 million dollar system is being scrapped and all 242K people (only 70K signed up for private insurance, the other 172K for Medicaid*) are being punted onto the Federal website.  Which only barely "works" better in that you can actually be "signed up".

*Yeah, those numbers won't drive up healthcare costs.....
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

HHS announces that ObamaCare marketplace enrollment topped 8-million during October 1-April 19 sign-up period . 8,019,763 to be exact.

But can't tell us how many have actually paid "until later this year."  I'll take mid-November for $500, Alex.
