Numbers from one study, a RAND Corporation effort that has been kept under wraps, suggests that barely 858,000 previously uninsured Americans â nowhere near 7 million â paid for new policies and joined the ranks of the insured by Monday night. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...e-tough-questions-remain-whos-signing-up.html
Yea, kept under wraps till I posted it yesterday. The numbers break down like this: 6 million people have enrolled in private coverage through Healthcare.gov and its state counterparts. The Times estimated that about one-third of them -- or about 2 million -- were uninsured, based in part on new numbers from RAND. 4.5 million previously uninsured people have signed up for Medicaid since the law launched in October, according to RAND. 3 million young adults age 26 and younger have gotten covered through their parents' insurance plan, as the law allows. RAND also estimated that about 9 million people have signed up for coverage directly through their insurer, though most of those people were already insured. RAND has surveyed 3,300 adults, ages 18 to 64, nationally. It estimated that the uninsured rate for that population has fallen from 20.9 percent to 16.6 percent. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?t=283143
Carney is a liar. Everyone knows that Odumbo expected 7 million NEW (previously uninsured) to sign up. The 850K number is what's going around. I trust McKinsey and similar agencies more so that I'd ever trust Carney or anyone at the White House. It's been an epic failure to date. Odumbo will try to save face but if the true numbers come out he'll make excuses.
Source please Or is it like 'everyone knows' that 65% of people have pre-existing conditions because of the choices they made. That's another claim you were unable to back up.
so lets see. millions lost their insurance due to Obamcare but signed up on the website or on their own for what most are now saying are inferior but bloated plans. (millions more will lose their insurance in the coming few years.) only between 850,000 (Rand study) and 2 million signed up but only 1 million paid ( Times estimate) were uninsured. 4.5 million are now on medicaid. The govt spends billions putting this in place and trillions over the next few years. What would have saved trillions would have been to pay for the uninsured to have some more health care.
