A devastating new McKinsey & Co. report finds that Obamacare's purported purpose – providing coverage for the previously uninsured – has failed.
The report concludes that 74% of Obamacare enrollees at the end of the first open enrollment period already had insurance; just 26% reported being previously uninsured. Of those who were previously uninsured, the figure drops to only 22% when considered alongside whether the individual has activated his plan by paying his first month's premium.
According to the Associated Press, at least 4.7 million Americans had their health insurance plans canceled due to Obamacare. Many of those individuals simply went through the Obamacare exchanges to buy policies to replace the ones President Barack Obama's healthcare program outlawed.
The McKinsey & Co. study also revealed that nearly half (48%) of individuals who said they do not plan to enroll in 2015 were "unaware of the penalty for lack of coverage." The so-called "individual mandate" imposes graduated penalties on individuals who choose not to purchase care. Even after respondents were informed of the penalty, only 29% of those currently uninsured said they plan to enroll in 2015.

The VA is the prototype for Obamacare!

If that is the case then we are in good hands. Obviously that is not true. The VA in Baltimore is perfect. I haven’t had one single problem with them. As with everything, there are bad people and bad VA areas. Baltimore thankfully is not one of them.
Obamasnare. That’s what it is.
Liars lie. Is anyone with at least one functioning brain cell not sure that DIMocRATs are liars?
Since I wasn't about to jeopardize our application, as it was our only real chance for coverage in 2014, I did as they instructed and left the box unchecked.
Did I compromise my ethics? When dealing with government bureaucracies I have no ethics.
If you think of Medicaid as "insurance", then you might be right. However, Medicaid is not insurance.
And then there are all those young people who did not want insurance because they didn't need it, yet now are being forced to purchase it under threat of tax penalty. Sure, they have it now after not having it before. Yet they are now being forced (at the point of a gun) to buy something they do not want.
Sorry I changed my mind on this post.
I asked the mods to delete it. Thanks anyway for your reply.
Yeah but the insurance that had before was cheaper and better. At least with ObamaCare, they get to chip in and buy health insurance for the freeloaders. Kind of like being forced into donating to charity.
Yes Hillary...
I thought that was why Obama increased entitlement programs like food stamps, so we are forced to donate to charity through his use of taxpayer dollars. I think they even lowered the amount of charity donations one can deduct from their federal taxes every year. This makes Zero the hero according to the recipients.

No prob. I hope for your sake that it gets deleted promptly.
Yep.
This is an issue I disagree with practically everyone on this site about (including importantly the owner).
I decided not to go there. :D
It’s been deleted. Best regards.
TOTAL FRAUD which has never been about healthcare.
Congress fiddles while America burns.
It could have fooled me. I really can't tell the difference. Same clinics, physicians, hospitals, prescription formulary, health management company "i.e. insurance company". We are fortunate in this area to not have any problem finding providers or open appointments.
Now aren’t you glad Obama completely f*cked up the healthcare industry for this!

Am I to understand from that statement that you are “for” obamacare?
