While I don’t have empirical evidence to support my claim, I don’t believe this to be true.

Big deal. What will the payments in future months look like as the payees continue to be squeezed and grow resentful?

[Graybeard58]

I believe a large per centage haven’t a clue about deductibles or copays.

I can believe it. They had to enroll as they discovered when filing their taxes. Then they paid their first premium with their tax refund.

[SoFloFreeper]

They say what Der Fuhrer TELLS them to say.

[Fresh Wind]

Are they counting government subsidy payments as paid premiums?

[Safrguns]

Very easy to believe that 80% have paid their FIRST premium.

Very DIFFICULT to believe that most can afford to KEEP paying their premiums.

I wonder what percentage of people next year will ATTEMPT to cancel their insurance because rates are going to double again?

""These are dynamic figures and do not reflect final enrollment numbers, as some enrollees have not yet reached their payment due dates," Wingle said. "

What is he talking about? My agent tells me that no insurance goes into effect till money is paid, when I sign up for anything I have to pay a binder.

[cableguymn]

paid in full or just the subsidy was paid by the government?

[grumpygresh]

Insurance companies are all about lying. Are they inflating their claims? Of course, and they are no doubt being encouraged by 0bama. Insurance companies need to say that patients have paid their premiums, otherwise providers will refuse to see the patients, because providers bear the risk for patients with unpaid premiums.

Major health insurers say at least 80 percent of the people enrolled in their ObamaCare plans have paid their first premium.

Don't believe it, but even if it's true, is that something to crow about?

[Mechanicos]

There have been a lot of bogus numbers coming out the ministry of information lately. Global warming, Unemployment, Inflation, Economic growth, ‘Budget surplus,” Commiecare “enrollment,” Commiecare “payees,” etc.

All these creative numbers rely on an audience who cannot do math, nor understand economics, science and history.

Health insurance company CEOs jumped into bed with Obama believing that they will get millions of dollars in new premiums once Obamacare is fully implemented.

They are still in bed with Obama and are enjoying the warm and fuzzy feelings.

Health Insurance CEO Pay Sky-Rockets in 2013 Some See Their Compensation Double PR Newswire

PHILADELPHIA, May 5, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following is being released by Healthcare-NOW!: Health Insurance CEO Pay Sky-Rockets in 2013

Chief executive officers at Fortune 500 health insurance companies, who have opposed new regulations under the Affordable Care Act, emerged this month as one of the ACA's greatest beneficiaries. Recently filed financial reports show that average compensation for these top nine health insurance CEOs rose by more than 19 percent in 2013, while several of the nation's largest insurers more than doubled CEO pay.

The biggest winner was Aetna CEO Mark Bertolini, who received a staggering $30.7 million compensation package in 2013. This marks the largest payout to any health insurance executive since passage of the ACA and exceeded the compensation of the next two highest paid health insurer CEOs combined. The Bertolini pay package, which included a large "special one-time performance-based retention award," represented a 131 percent increase over his $13.3 million compensation in 2012. (See table below.)

Molina Healthcare and Centene, both Fortune 500 insurers that specialize in privately managed Medicaid plans, roughly doubled CEO compensation in 2013. J. Mario Molina received $11.9 million, up from $5 million in 2012, while Centene's CEO Michael Neidorff made $14.5 million, up from $8.5 million. Overall, average CEO pay across Fortune 500 health insurers rose from $11.6 million in 2012 to $13.9 million in 2013.

The disclosures of higher CEO pay coincided with several of the same companies announcing better-than-expected earnings in the first quarter of 2014, even as they signaled that patients and businesses should prepare for increased insurance premiums in 2015.

Given the overall deadbeat nature of present-day society, I find this very hard to believe.

[Foundahardheadedwoman]

I would guess that this includes Medicaid enrollees and the folks so heavily subsidized that they pay nothing plus they are cooking the books as usual. Insurance cos. are collection agencies for the government now.

[FlingWingFlyer]

This is good. Now they need to remember this claim when they come sniffing around wanting the taxpayers to bail them out. Ain’t happening.

[VRWC For Truth]

Liars.

Confirmed: Many of Obamacare’s ‘Eight Million Enrollments’ are Duplicates:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3153598/posts

SO .... I wonder how they get to 80% of enrollees have paid when there are many duplicates and since the back end reconciliation isn’t built, they aren’t sure of the actual, ‘good’ number ..... it goes on and on.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

My experience has been that when those 80% get in a financial tight spot the first thing dropped is insurance payments as they need that money for something else they consider more important.
