NO! Because if they did they would understand why more people are critics of Obamacare, i.e. it has ALWAYS been a bogus program counting bogus people and never kept any promises.
I'm trying to understand what the real number of people that would become "uninsured" WHEN Obamacare is repealed.
We read exaggerated numbers of A) 30 million; B) CBO 15 million; C) reality: 11.4 million.
A) "A total of nearly 30 million people would become uninsured if lawmakers repeal but don't replace Obamacare, according to Urban Institute."
B) CBO and JCT estimate that, in 2018, 15 million more people would be uninsured under this legislation than under current law—primarily because the penalty for not having insurance would be eliminated. "

C) "So, an average of 11.4 million people are expected to be in Obamacare policies during 2017."
Obamacare 2017 enrollment hits record, despite Trump's threat to repeal
Now one of the group's that signed up for Obamacare was this group:
14 million people that were eligible for Medicaid BEFORE Obamacare.
These 14 million including 9 million children never knew they qualified.
Proof?
From the architect of Obamacare and the man who admitted it took "stupidity" to pass Obamacare!
"Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage,” Gruber said. "And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical for the thing to pass."
ObamaCare architect: 'Stupidity' of voters helped bill pass
Now Gruber says 63% of Obamacare enrollment came from people eligible BEFORE Obamacare!
Gruber and his coauthors, using data from the Census Bureau, estimate that
A) Medicaid “produced 63% of the gains [in coverage] that we identified” for 2014.
B) They also found that much of this gain was attributable to the enrollment in Medicaid of people who were eligible for the program under criteria that preceded the ACA’s Medicaid expansion: Perhaps less obviously, we also found a substantial increase in Medicaid coverage among children and adults who were already eligible for the program before 2014.
This population accounted for 44% of the coverage increase.
New Gruber Study Raises Major Questions About Obamacare's Medicaid Expansion
So folks to show you how SCREWED UP Obamacare is:
A) What is the true number of people "insured" now under Obamacare? 11.4 million ?
B) Why hasn't there been any stories about who these 11.4 million are, i.e. over 63% according to the
architect of Obamacare people who would have been covered under Medicaid BEFORE ACA.
These 14 million people that were counted as "uninsured' just weren't INFORMED that they were eligible.
Why simply wasn't there an effort BEFORE Obamacare by the Obama administration to get these 14 million people aware and enrolled?
Why ADD more stupid legislation i.e. ACA when a major number of people could have been enrolled with just simply being made aware?
