Premiums?? Its free, ain’t it????
Note that this carefully written article still does not show that the 7 million is an accurate number - it just does the math based on that assumption.
It is probably worse that these numbers.
HHS made it so that as long as someone started the process before 4/1, they would count as being registered.
I would bet tens of thousands of late registrants are bogus - just to up the numbers.
And all this BS for a stadium’s worth of people per state.
they lied?? I’m shocked and appalled.
i think more like 15-20% PAID
We are getting numbers all over the map here...
WHERE IS SOME REAL DATA????
Doesn’t matter,
Obama says the debate is over, finished, complete, move on folks nothing to see here.
Imagine that!
EXACTLY the same percentage of those who signed up, BUT WERE NOT COVERED BEFORE!!!!!
It seems that the pollsters and the media are constantly polling every imaginable question, but I haven't heard a word about Obamacare.
83% = 5,810,000 persons have signed up and are subsidized
2% = 140,000 have paid
Ain't gonna work....just like we said.
What premiums? It’s FREEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!........................
Wait a few months and a lot more of those who are paying will be droping off the rolls. This thing is an unmitigated disaster.
The people who don’t pay their premiums are probably disproportionately exactly the people the insurance companies need in order to balance the high payout insured.
Old sick people will be sure to pay their premiums. Young invincibles will be a lot more likely not to pay.
Uh huh. Suuuuure.
How many of those ‘80%’ who paid have paid for months 2, 3, 4 and so on? How many had an extra $100 to $450 (depending on subsidy level) in disposable income *per family member* for each month and can *sustain* this new, extra cash outflow from the household budget month after month and year after year? Virtually zero, I would guess.
My strategy would be: a) sign up, b) cram care for all of your neglected health issues into one month, c) stop paying for month #2; d) pay fine anyway for being without insurance for 11 months; e) rinse and repeat for next year.

I predict a rescission rate (drop off) of close to 100% for people who did not have insurance BEFORE the exchange as regardless of the amount of the subsidy, having no premium is cheaper than subsidized premium.
They may have paid one month, but if they miss a month, the insurance company does not have to pay claims.
I’ll bet even the subsidized will get tired of paying their reduced premiums once they try to use their insurance and find out that they must pay the deductible in order to get treatment.
Premiums??? I don’t need to pay no stinkin premiums!
