Looks like a significant number of people are saying nope, nope, nope.
1/3? Try about 3/4 of them.
Math is soooo complicated!!!!!!!!!!!!!
6.2 million lost their overage due to cancellations.
4 Million have signed up, 20% haven’t paid their premium.
40 million uninsured (That’s what the administration claimed).
Sounds to me like we now have 3 million more uninsured than before.
However, O’Bummer cites numbers, fully aware that most of his followers will believe anything he says. Math has never been their strong suit, even if it is at 4th grade level.
With all inclusive insurance, it's more that those who take care of themselves enable those who don't
If it were just catastrophic insurance and not mandatory, I'd assume they'd get more signups. The way it is now, it only makes sense for those who already have a catastrophic illness.
I think they claimed 46 or 48 million, the number kept going up as time passed.
Agree. Why should a single, young male want insurance to cover maternity benefits or birth control pills?
Consider what this may mean for obozo if he is actually as toxic as he should be by then: His own side is going to HAVE TO differentiate themselves from him.
Caliph Baraq will have plenty of time to play golf this fall. No Democrat (other than Charlie Crist) wants him anywhere near their campaign.
They’re all begging for Bill Clinton, LOL.
...And the other 2/3 cannot afford it.
Then, reality struck their pocketbooks!
“Why should a single, young male want insurance to cover maternity benefits or birth control pills?”
The only reasons as a young married male, I wanted health insurance was to help pay for the birth of our children.
I didn’t need any real medical treatment until my mid 60’s.
Our adult children now in their mid to late 40’s are basically doctor free. Our nephews and nieces are the same. Some don’t even have a doctor.
The only real affliction/illness on both sides of our families are seasonal allergies. Now, with the over the counter Allegra/Claritin and now Nasal Cort, the nasal cortical steroid spray, they don’t really don’t need a doctor. They might benefit with a prepaid plan for ortho pedic care and a major incident care. Their children, most are teenagers now, never had any major medical expenses besides the zillion shots/immunizations the first few years of life.
As a small business owner who sends out invoices to other businesses each month, I can say that we have trouble collecting from businesses. I can imagine what a nightmare it will be to collect monthly premiums from people who expected to get Obamacare for free.
