So 13 thousand enrolled in ObamaCare while 87 thousand enrolled in Medicaid? LOL! Not good news for the ObamaCare crowd. Somebody is going to have to pay the bills for that 87 thousand freeloaders. I guess that 14 thousand is going to have to carry the load. Ain’t this wonderful?!

How many are young and healthy and not old and sick? Sorry, but I can't see many young and healthy types shelling out a few hundred a month along with deductibles of many thousands.

Not gonna happen or at least not in the numbers Obamacare needs to be viable.

Whoops! I forgot to subtract that woman who Barry used as a happy camper example in his Obamascam speech. She isn’t going to be buying any healthcare. Too unaffordable for her.

I think we all knew that this is what the community agitator wanted all along.

“…...either started applications or completed applications…..”

Sounds just like their mantra of….. “saved or created jobs”.

Yes, all the states are this way, whether through their own state exchanges or the 0dumb0.gov debacle. Medicaid sign-ups are running 10-1 versus actual premium signups. The numbers are in the thousands, and somehow 0dumb0 & the socialists are hoping that millions of Americans will sign up.... ain't gonna happen! Not only for older people like myself (60 yrs old) but especially the young people are staying away from this 0dumb0Care debacle in droves.

Age 26-34 is the largest group of those over 18, even though one fewer year is included.

And who will pay for the freebie for Medicaid recipients?

Yap, all hard working middle class folks!

Obama = take it from those who work and give it those who do not bother to work. Why work when one gets:

FREE Abortions
FREE Medicaid, 60 Million people!
FREE Food stamps approaching almost 50 Million
FREE Rent subsidy
FREE Heat subsidy
FREE Obamacare
FREE Obama phones
FREE Contraceptives
FREE Mammograms
FREE Pre-natal care & delivery
FREE Transportation to medical facility
FREE Translators for non-English speaking
FREE Lawyers for the indigent
FREE Pell Grants
FREE Daycare
FREE CASH! Under the Family Independence (FI) program the takers are given a charged debit card.

Nope. That may have been what they wanted to happen prior to the roll-out, but their astonishing ineptitude has become a colossal national joke. No one recovers from this kind of ridicule. They went a bridge too far: they screwed the low information voters they relied on to get elected.

This is the key part:
>8 to 1 for free medicaid. Few % of those who have to actually pay for it.

This is what the libs call a success.
