Title: Obamacare - "Ignore the man behind the curtain !!"
Post by: Scout26 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.....

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.
