Just cause they've signed up for Obamacare doesn't mean they're covered.
Around one in five people who picked health insurance policies on the state and federal exchanges last year haven't paid their first month's premiums, according to insurers polled by CNNMoney. These folks will likely see their policy selection canceled and they'll be left uninsured.
Some 2.1 million people signed up for a plan in time for their coverage to start January 1, according to the Obama administration. But with the payment deadlines stretching until January 31 at the latest, anywhere between 12% and 30% of those folks still haven't paid up, insurers say.

Say it ain’t so, L. Say it ain’t so. :-)
Its posed tuh be free yuh kno....
Somewhere between an eighth and a third...
The lack of precision alone should be a warning that things aren’t right.
If they are saying it’s 12%-30% the truthful percentage is probably 50%+.
Basic human right.
It’s worse than what CNN reports.
1 in 5 will receive cancellation notices because there have been too many attempts to collect on the payment.
There are more than 20% who haven’t made payments...but they just haven’t been contacted enough times to require a cancellation.
SUR-PRIZE, SUR-PRIZE, SUR-PRIZE!!!
Goooollly, Sergeant Carter! Don’t them fellers know that Obama is counting on them?
Just wait until some minority person of low income who didn’t pay, gets cancelled and ends up in a hospital for a serious illness. The insurance company will be made the villain, of course.
One of the biggies was saying a majority paid, but not a large majority.
Those numbers are surprisingly optimistic.
Here in Washington state, almost 49% of the people who enrolled in a qualified plan have not paid.
That report came out yesterday and covers October 01 to January 23.
Just saw your comment after I posted.
Here in Washington state, it’s almost 49%.
