Based on the below "overestimate"... is it possible the ACA proponents have again OVERESTIMATED the following: 46 million are uninsured....
Now we NOW the facts that of the 46 million "uninsured"
1) 10 million are NOT CITIZENS... so therefore NOT eligible.. so therefore they were off
2) 14 million people PER THE CENSUS were counted as "UNINSURED" BUT THEY are eligible for Medicaid/SCHIP! In other words the number 36 million includes people that all need do is register!
3) 18 million under 34 DON'T WANT health insurance that leaves 4 million uninsured!
NOT 46 million!!!
The administration in September said 7.3 million people at the time were enrolled in health plans through the Affordable Care Act insurance marketplaces. The House investigation, first reported by Bloomberg, found that this number also counted people enrolled in just dental coverage, a change from how previous enrollment figures have been counted that the Obama administration did not disclose.Without counting those dental plans, enrollment would have been 6.97 million.
That 7.3 million figure reported by the Department of Health and Human Services was down from the 8 million people who had signed up through the end of April. HHS hasn't provided a comprehensive accounting of why enrollment fell — such as how many people didn't pay their premiums or whether those enrollees found another source of coverage.
On Thursday, after news of the House investigation broke, the administration said that its total was "erroneously counted" in recent announcements.
HHS said it made this mistake twice. The agency overstated its September figures by about 400,000. Then in November, it reported an inaccurate figure again when it said 7.1 million people were enrolled at the time; the actual figure was 6.7 million.
