of the bogus 46 million uninsured DON"T NEED or WANT health insurance...
yet they are fraudulently counted in the "46 million uninsured"...
Politifact quote:
"Using a broader age range -- from 19 to 39 -- the share rises to 44 percent. Thats a significant percentage, but its short of a majority."
PolitiFact | Rand Paul says young people are a major part of the uninsured population
So if we use Obama' bogus number: "We are not a nation that accepts nearly 46 million uninsured men, women and children,"
and assume of the 46 million that are UNINSURED 44% are from 19 to 39. That is 20,240,000!
Now a substantiation of a lesser number:
1) 18 million of the "46 million" don't want health insurance as they are under 34, make over $50k and spend less then their employer share!
source: CRISIS OF THE UNINSURED: 2009
So use 18 million from 46 million you come up with 28 million NOT 46 million that are "uninsured"...
But the "phony number" gets worse.
2) 10 million counted in his "46 million" WERE NOT citizens!!!

3) 14 million that say they are uninsured DON"T KNOW they are covered by Medicaid! Obama/and CMS of ALL people should know THAT!!!

Subtract 24 from 28 million leaves truly 4 million THAT WANT AND NEED insurance...
not the bogus 46 million that was used to force pass ACA.
Why are you so instant on continuing to use "46 million" when now even YOU are admitting 18 to 20 million DON"T WANT,DON"T NEED health insurance So why are you forcing them to buy something they don't NEED???
Why not concentrate on REASONS health insurance premiums have been high and will continue to climb!
PHONY duplicate testing all out of fear of lawsuits ADD $850 billion to what Medicare and insurance companies pay out! What that does is increase premiums!
90% of physicians say they order $850 billion a year in wasted duplicate tests, referrals all out of FEAR of being SUED!
Health News Observer ? Physicians Estimate The Cost Of Defensive Medicine In Us At 650 To 850 Bill Articles
Why do almost ALL hospitals "pad and pass" sometimes at 6,000% markups to Medicare? Because they are forced to see uninsured!
GREAT! Tax the hospitals and lawyers! Use the 10% tax from lawyers $270 billion and buy a $5,000 premium for each and every truly uninsured registered by the hospitals that see them!
Then audit hospitals so they don't pad and pass on that and taxes will reduce easily $100 to $200 billion from the $850 billion defensive medicine and hospitals markups that simply go to increased premiums now!
I KNOW MOST people don't this...
BUT state insurance regulators approve premiums which companies show are based on claims they pay out!
SO if the above is done... claims go down.. Premiums by state laws have to go down!
When Obama trots out those poor helpless examples of big mean health insurance companies rules to seek sympathy...
HE IS FORGETTING as evidently most people do..
THESE examples ARE THE EXCEPTIONS! They have to be or the SYSTEM would be broke!
And that's what should be addressed!
EMTALA caused the problem... Look it up!
Good intentions create bad legislation!
yet they are fraudulently counted in the "46 million uninsured"...
