Obama Says 1 Million Signed up for Health Care (BS!!!)

By the summer of 2014, they’ll be handing out ObamaCare policies with the food stamp cards, in time for the fall elections. Of course, no one will get to see a doctor, but hey, they’ll have “health care coverage.”

1 million is not impressive at all. If that is a lie, it is not a great one. They expected about 7 million by Monday originally. Plus not a single person has paid yet. Even with the extension, I can’t imagine how people will have extra money right after Christmas to pay for these outrageous costs.

[napscoordinator]

This is so stupid. They should have just put those original 36 million without insurance on the Medicaid program. Believe it or not, it would have saved us money in the long run after this monstrosity.

Whatever lie the Tyrant claims,
his plants owning the MSM will support him gladly
in his (and their) destruction of America.

“Consumers might show up at the pharmacy counter or doctor’s office only to be told they’re not in the system.”

Doesn’t it have a $7000 deductible anyhow?

[ClearCase_guy]

The goal was never to save money.
The goal was never to provide healthcare.
The goal was never to help the poor.

The goal is control, and it’s all working out perfectly.

According to joe biteme, “This is a big F’n deal!”. More like a raw deal. And, as usual, the “lyin’ king” lives up to his nickname. What’d he score on his round of golf yesterday? 18? Hole in one on every hole?

[Senator_Blutarski]

Actually, I think Obama said 1 million people have "selected" health insurance. That means they dropped a plan into their "shopping cart". It does not mean they pressed the "buy" button. And it certainly does not mean they have made their first payment, which is the traditional measure of "enrollment".

You have to parse the words to understand the spin. The lies continue.

[JudyinCanada]

Ya - all of those twitter followers.

[Ueriah]

Personally, I think that the goal is to force lots of people onto Medicaid in an attempt to bankrupt the states and make them more dependant on the Federal Government.

[Graybeard58]

Even if his number is accurate, (nobody believes it is), 1mil is a far cry from the rest of the population, that's supposed to be signed up in the next 9 days.

[tobyhill]

and it will sit in the shopping cart which most probably forgot about when they saw the price tag. There has been many times I forgot to hit the “remove” button.

[ogen hal]

Clown Prince nobama lies to us at Christmas...what a degenerate fool.

[Graybeard58]

This is so stupid. They should have just put those original 36 million without insurance on the Medicaid program. Believe it or not, it would have saved us money in the long run after this monstrosity.

I suggested that it might have been cheaper, a couple of weeks ago and was castigated for it. Not that medicaid would have been better or that medicaid is a good thing, just that it would have been cheaper.

[tobyhill]

That was the goal and Medicaid Expansion has been Obama’s glowing success part of Obamacare.
Medicaid is the tool that Obama intended to direct America to a single payer.

[Hoodat]

Lies are to Obama as breathing is to the rest of us.

[Sacajaweau]

And how many LOST or will lose their insurance??

[Hoodat]

Not just cheaper. It would have been a lot cheaper. The vast majority of people without coverage do so by choice because they are healthy and have minimal health care costs. If they aren’t going to the doctor now, they won’t go when they have Medicaid either.

[Graybeard58]

Doesn’t it have a $7000 deductible anyhow?

Some plans, more than that.

Medicare is around $150 deductible then it's 80/20 thereafter, with about $105 per month premium.

Not that one has anything to do with the other, other than the fact that they are both socialist/communist plans.
