Train wreck is the perfect analogy.
19.3% private insurance
73.2% Medicaid
07.5% a policy for just children (say what?)
Out of 2.143 million purchasers, not 1 in 5 could pay their own way for adult coverage.
The government thus pays 100% of the costs of the insurance for 1.568 million, or 73.2% of the people who signed up for a plan.
To a Liberal, this is a reasoned plan.
This is going to beat to death state budgets.
Stay tuned.

GOODIE!
I had the same impression reading this. They constantly talked about “markets” and “customers” and doing the math - 82% of the enrollees are just signing up for more free sh** from the Government.
What’s even worse is the crony-capitalist health-care companies talking about “the market.”
The more I hear about Obamacare, I realize its just a government / corporate screw job, until the socialists finally decide they don’t need the companies any longer and simply nationalize or push them out.
So 106,146 paid for NobamaCare out of their own pocket.
Out of 2.1 million.
Barely 5% of enrollees paid for it themselves.
And if Brooklyn and Queens made up such a huge proportion of the total enrollees, can fraud be far behind?
And how many citizens were counted in that collection of 92 languages?
Admittedly, my little town in Texas doesn't resemble either the Brooklyn or Queens, but my visits there indicate a certain sophistication of the populace in their understanding of public welfare benefits.
Just an observation.
