"This law is working," Obama said. "This law won't solve all the problems in our health care system. We know we've got more work to do, but we now know for a fact that repealing the Affordable Care Act would increase the deficit, raise premiums for millions of Americans, and take insurance away from millions more."
remarkable in that 5 million to 6 million were caused by forcing people to replace superior policies with inferior policies.
The same liar that said you could keep your doctor? And you're foolish enough to believe him - AGAIN?
Obamacare is so popular that they had to change the census data, so nobody could see just how well it is working. Ask yourself, If obamacare was really as successful as it is, wouldnt The obama admin be in a hurry to put out hard numbers in order to prove all the naysayers wrong?
No, premiums would be lower. Unless he means the 'net' premiums the nearly 9 out of 10 will be paying after factoring in their subsidies. One I read about is paying $2/month and getting a $574/month subsidy. Odumbocare is nothing more than Medicaid 2.0. Only difference between it and Medicaid is that people will have to pay some part of their premium versus getting everything for free.
And here in SC only 59% have paid a premium. So if one extrapolated to the entire country with that figure ... less than 4.8 million would have paid if one is to believe Odumbo's 8 million number. Further, take out all those previously insured .. including those who were canceled, those who got big subsidies and decided to get the cheaper rate. Obamacare enrollment in South Carolina keeps climbing, tops 100K Lauren Sausser Posted: Friday, April 18, 2014 10:19 a.m. Although the deadline to sign up for an Obamacare insurance plan has officially past, the number of South Carolinians who are enrolled keeps climbing. The S.C. Department of Insurance reported Friday that 114,789 individuals selected a plan on the federal exchange through April 15 - up from an estimate of 97,000 earlier this month. The deadline to sign up for insurance was technically March 31, but the federal government granted an extension through mid-April to applicants who encountered any difficulty enrolling. The newly enrolled must pay their first premium by May 1 to become insured. To date, only 67,846 of the 114,789 customers in South Carolina have done that. "I think the truer number is the 67,846 because they have actually picked a plan and paid their premium. They are actually insured," said S.C. Insurance Director Ray Farmer. Nearly 90 percent of residents who applied for insurance in South Carolina qualified for a federal subsidy to offset their out-of-pocket costs. Their average age was 44. Farmer and other state insurance commissioners participated in a policy discussion Thursday with President Barack Obama at the White House. "The National Association of Insurance Commissioners - all the commissioners collectively - had a number of concerns. We were able to express those concerns," Farmer said.
