8 million sign-ups under Obamacare

Posted by italianstallion on Thu Apr 17 19:01:43 2014

. . .and 35% under 35. What say death spiral?

Inb4 "but how many have paid?" Even if 15% don't pay, that would still be over 7 million paid signups.


Times

President Obama announced Thursday that eight million people had signed up for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act, and that 35 percent of them were under the age of 35, countering those who predicted it would attract mainly older and sicker people.

The final number exceeds by a million the target set by the administration for people to buy insurance through government-run health care exchanges. In addition, the number of young people signing up appears to have surged during the final weeks of enrollment.

“This thing is working,” Mr. Obama said. “The Affordable Care Act is covering more people at less cost than most people would have predicted a few months ago.”

The president’s remarks, delivered in the White House briefing room, amounted to a second victory lap after he announced two weeks ago that 7.1 million people had signed up for insurance during the initial enrollment period, which ended in March.

The administration extended the sign-up period by two weeks, until Tuesday, to accommodate late applicants, and the new numbers suggested that interest was running high.

It's a good chunk of those who were previously uninsured. Which is what this is all about. Shameful tat half the states still think their poor shouldn't get healthcare in delining the Medicaid expansion.

Most of those people had insurance already. A lot of their policies were cancelled.

Wrong. Most never had actual insurance. The number of people that actually had an actual insurance policy cancelled (mostly at the choosing of the insurer) is in the tens of thousands. They are a minority of those who have signed on.

If its true then it's not a b ad thing. Its too bad that he had to hijack 1/6th of the US economy to accomplish what could have been done with a far less disruptive and intrusive program. Of course, more than 60% of Americans believe obama lies so "IF ITS TRUE" is a big "IF"!

Never did understand how establishing a free-market in private health insurance products sold by private insurance companies constituted hijacking 1/6 of the economy.

And as far as accomplishing the same in a less disruptive and intrusive manner -- well, show me how that woulda worked.
