Obamacare has led to health coverage for [9.5] millions more [uninsured] people

At least 9.5 million previously uninsured people have gotten health insurance since Obamacare started, surveys and reports show. ___

[Jim Robinson]

100% unadulterated USDA grade A bullshit.

[kevao]

By their own numbers (48 million uninsured), that still leaves 38.5 million uninsured.

[andyk]

Let me help - BARF ALERT.

[Ingtar]

Must be before they subtract the 13 million that lost their policies.

[Vehmgericht]

Why are you so cynical? In a related story, an anonymous source has reported that a flock of unicorns are flying over San Francisco shitting diamonds.

[Nifster]

Like any good leftist the Slimes and it’s writers just make up word use age.....doublespeak is real.

[sappy]

This number is bull-oney. if that were true, they wouldn’t be delaying it constantly.

[listenhillary]

“At least 6 million people have signed up for health coverage on the new marketplaces, about one-third of whom were previously uninsured.”

2 million

“At least 4.5 million previously uninsured adults have signed up for state Medicaid programs”

2 + 4.5 = 6 million

An additional 3 million young adults have gained coverage in recent years through a provision of the law that enables dependent children to remain on their parents’ health plans until they turn 26,

6 + 3 million = 9 million.

WOW! Breathtaking!

But how come so many Dem senators who voted for it are worried?

[Robwin]

I am unclear on the concept. Even the WH is putting out a phony number of only 6 million enrollees, so how could ObamaCare be providing coverage for 9.5 million uninsured?

Trust me Lorianne it most illegal here in SO CAL

[Tenacious 1]

I’m amazed at the farcical lengths the media will go to for statistics.

Our government cannot tell us how many people have enrolled, paid for, gotten covered, % of Medicaid, used, needed, previously had insurance or were previously uninsured and how many people lost insurance because of Obamacare. But somehow, the LA Times is able to positively come up with a figure that shows how many people have gotten cheaper insurance than they otherwise would have and/or didn’t previously have at all.

Really? Who take this crap seriously?

[Izzy Dunne]

Your friendly local BS Detector begs to differ.

[Lorianne]

Agreed.

[Jane Long]

How many of these *insured* are paying for this, or have to be subsidized?

Medicaid is now run via an additional government bureaucracy of which you and I get to additionally subsidize - while the entire, once great system is devalued. Thanks, 0’Commie.

[lurk]

Mostly takers. Very few payers. Unsustainable. Collectivism.

Those were Leprechauns. And they were shitty Gold.

That's great news.
Maybe now we will get our $2,500 health insurance savings. - Tom
