California health insurance exchange struggling to enroll Latinos
Los Angeles Times ^ | Dec 13, 2013 | Chad Terhune and Eryn Brown

The state's enrollment so far among Latinos is anemic — even though they represent more than half of California's 7 million uninsured residents. Only 5% of enrollees, or fewer than 4,500 people, in the first two months of enrollment are primarily Spanish speakers, new data show.

People who speak primarily Spanish account for 29% of California's population, but they represent only 5% of exchange enrollment.

I am getting the notion, that if and when Obamacare will be fully implemented, there will be fewer people insured, than before it started.

I’m guessing they won’t have as many rat voters as
they thought.

Hey, I thought we were ALL in this?

Yep. The dems planned this through, knowing the high prices/crappy options would keep people away. After it fails, they will say “We can’t give the people what they really want without single payer!”

Yes, but how many of them are part of California’s “legal” population?

Why buy health insurance when the healthcare is free? Besides, when the deductables are larger than anyones typical yearly medical costs, why bother paying the upfront costs for insurance?

Isn’t this crap “profiling”? It sounds as though they set some kind of wacky “progressive” quota on how many Spanish speakers that they have to enroll. Liberal DemocRATS are so racist. Sex, race and money is all those clowns ever think about.

If people aren’t buying into this, why would the buy into single payer?

Democrat credibility is shot. Republicans should just sit back and declare everything the rats do is to further a communist agenda and they will not be party to it.

Let the rats implement everything.

You are clearly overestimating the populace of this nation in terms of intelligence and initiative in learning.

Single payer will be sold as the way to get FREE health care. The majority of young, minorities and ignorant will buy it and they vote.
