President Obama said Thursday more than 8 million Americans selected a private health plan through his signature health overhaul, topping the most recent tally by a half-million people and offering the president an opportunity to blast Republicans for criticizing his efforts. However he can not prove these numbers nor will he.
“This thing is working,” he said, cautioning his law will not solve everything that ails the country’s health care system. When Liberals want to accomplish something, they just lie. That is the number one Marxist/Communist rule. It is the first rule Obama’s favorite book Rules for Radicals.
A Gallup poll published on April 16th finds that about 5 out of every 6 Americans who had no health insurance before Obamacare, still do not have health insurance. A Gallup poll published on April 16th finds that about 5 out of every 6 Americans who had no health insurance before Obamacare, still do not have health insurance. This finding, of about 85% of the uninsureds remaining uninsured under Obamacare, is actually better, not worse, than the CBO’s projections; so it cannot be any surprise to him.
He then openly criticized GOP lawmakers for trying to repeal his law knowing full well that the mainstream media will help to demonize Republicans despite the fact that they are correct about Obamacare. Propaganda is the number one tool for today’s Democrats.
“They still can’t bring themselves to admit that the Affordable Care Act is working,” he said. However Obama can not prove anything her is saying. There is NO proof, Medical, Scientific, or otherwise to prove Obamacare is working at all.
The surging numbers are the result of extra time the administration and various states gave residents to finish up Obamacare applications they started by the formal deadline of March 31.
Many Americans had until Tuesday to finish up, providing the White House an opportunity this week to tout the latest numbers.
Republicans say Mr. Obama’s enthusiasm is fleeting, because a portion of Americans who’s signed up have not paid their first premiums and are not actually enrolled.
They also are betting that consumers will see higher premiums, narrower doctor networks and higher out-of-pocket costs in the months to come.
Mr. Obama said he is open to changes in his law, but it will require a “change in attitude” among Republicans, arguing some within the GOP ranks view any change to the law as a concession to the White House.
“It’s hard in that environment to actually get it done,” Mr. Obama said, mocking the GOP for going through “stages of grief” over his law.
He also said he does not expect to see any Republicans reach out to him ahead of the midterm elections in November.
The president did not offer any data on how many people have paid for their private coverage on the exchanges, or whether those who selected a plan had lacked insurance before finding it through his law.
He said 35 percent of the people who signed up through the federal marketplace were under the age of 35, a relatively healthy demographic that is key to making Obamacare’s economics work.
It is unclear if that number holds up nationwide — only 36 of the states are using the federal marketplace — and analysts have said the proportion of young enrollees should be about 40 percent to avoid a spike in premiums.
The White House said 3 million young adults have been able to stay on their parents’ plan because of the law, and that an additional 3 million people had signed up for Medicaid coverage through the end of February. Enrollment in Medicaid, a government-funded health program for the poor, will continue throughout the year.
