Millions More People Are Getting Health Insurance Because Of Obamacare, Survey Finds

Nearly one week after White House enrollment numbers showed Obamacare surpassing the seven-million mark, an economist-driven survey is projecting more good news for the Affordable Care Act.

RAND Corporation released its findings Tuesday, showing that the health care law is poised to spur a net gain of 9.3 million more insured Americans. The survey results were collected through March 28, 2014, and respondents will be part of a follow-up later in April, once new data is available.

Funny how we still have fewer people insured than we did when Bush was president, yet you are declaring victory.

Funny how we still have fewer people insured than we did when Bush was president, yet you are declaring victory.

How come the people declaring an amazing victory for Obama never mention the 40 plus
million that needed coverage when all this started.and how about the 5 million that lost
coverage because of ObamaCare.

Now all of a sudden we have more people covererd then before....

Either Obama was lying again when he said 48 million people needed coverage.
Or someone's lying now saying we have more people covered.

Pick your liar.

 

[Antares]

Need I remind you that the Liar In Chief said 7.1 million had enrolled through the Marketplace alone?

This study says that only Although a total of 3.9 million people enrolled in marketplace plans, only 1.4 million of these individuals were previously uninsured. Our marketplace enrollment numbers are lower than those reported by the federal government at least in part because our data do not fully capture the surge in enrollment that occurred in late March 2014

*&#8226;Of those who were previously uninsured but are now insured, 7.2 million gained ESI,

*3.6 million are now covered by Medicaid,

*1.4 million have signed up through a marketplace, while the remainder gained coverage through other sources. (previously uninsured)

Bammy 7.1 million through the exchanges....

Ignorant people do not read their own sources.

 

[Antares]

&#8226;Among the 7.8 million people who were enrolled in off-marketplace individual market plans in early 2014, 7.3 million were previously insured; 5.4 million were previously insured through an individual market plan.

...and you morons think this study is good news for you?

They will spin it every way they can, because the media will let them. Now that the Democrats have managed to push off the rest of the law past the 2014 elections people will not feel the sting until later. Look for them to push the law further to 2016 to have a chance in the Presidential elections.

These people have no shame.

5 million people did not lose coverage. Their insurers eventually picked them up

Finally we are back to Bush era numbers.

Rand just came clean on the numbers. This is yeaterdays news.

You may find it funny that people are unemployed and uninsured but I don't understand your humor... but-----but I agree with the rest of your post because-----because most people get their health insurance through an employer and the Bush economy purged lots-o-jobs but-----but if you want to make that kind of comparison, knock yourself out - but before you do, check out how much worse the percentage of uninsured got on Bush's watch compared to Clinton's.

And yet, the Gallup survey came up with essentially the same number as RAND, hmmm.

It's getting more and more difficult for Republicans to deny that Obamacare isn't having an impact on more and more Americans getting health coverage but-----but hopefully Republicans will continue to whine, piss and moan about American citizens getting healthcare thru the next election then-----then thru the following election then-----then thru the following...



Gallup Survey on Obamacare: Percentage Uninsured Falls to 15.6 percent | New Republic

JONATHAN COHN
APRIL 7, 2014

<snip>

The Congressional Budget Office has projected that 13 million Americans will get health insurance because of Obamacare. Gallup's numbers would correspond to a significantly smaller decline, although the numbers depend on what you choose as a starting point. Then again, Gallup's numbers don't account for the end of open enrollment—when, by all accounts, large numbers of people rushed to sign up for coverage. They also don't account for a full year of enrollment in Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program, since people can sign up for those programs all year long.

In short, it seems pretty clear that, because of Obamacare, more people have health insurance. And, yes, that accounts for people who lost existing coverage because insurers cancelled old policies. The question is how big a difference the law is making. And it's going to be a while before anybody knows.

Perhaps the reason you don't understand my humor is because I am not joking, this entire thing is pathetic.

By the way, did you notice that your numbers backed up what I said?

You apparently have a serious comprehension deficiency.

 

[guno]

Now that the Obama administration is moving ahead on their own plan for reforming American health care, I'd like to use it to inquire into whether most Christians really believe what they often claim to believe.


Christians is that there often seems to be a massive discrepancy between what they claim to believe and how they behave. Health care offers an excellent example of what I am talking about. For the Christians who claim to believe that they have a personal relationship with Jesus and are cared for by a benevolent god, why do they need health insurance? Why avail themselves of modern medicine at all? Shouldn't prayer be sufficient?

An obvious explanation is that the Christians who take advantage of medical treatment do not actually believe what they claim to believe. They may say that they are content to trust their god, etc., but their use of the health care system suggests otherwise.

I can accept such an explanation (i.e., that many Christians do not actually believe what they often claim to believe). In fact, I find it at least somewhat encouraging. But is it accurate? And if so, why do so many continue to insist they they really believe such things?



Revisiting the Health Care Plan


Under the new plan, Normal rational thinking people would receive health care at government expense just like what everyone receives in the counties with the highest quality health care systems. Christians and believers of other absurdities and nuttery would automatically be placed on the Prayer Care Plan. This plan would not cost the government (or anyone else) anything at all. When believers got sick, they would pray for recovery. It's really that simple.
This should be quite appealing to the large number of conservative Christians who oppose any step toward universal health care because it would save large sums of money. If they really believe in prayer, as they so often claim, then they would have nothing to worry about on the Prayer Care Plan. In fact, their health care should be better than that received by the rest of us!

You know as well as I do that Christians are not going to be lining up for such a plan. They are not interested in opting out of their current health insurance or failing to seek medical treatment. The question is why. The seemingly inescapable answer is that most Christians do not believe what they so often claim to believe.
