(Reuters) - Three million lower-income Americans have enrolled in the Medicaid program for the poor so far during the rollout of U.S. President Barack Obama's healthcare reform law, the administration announced on Friday.
That brings to more than 10 million the number of people who have signed up for both public and private health coverage since the October 1 launch of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare. This week, the White House announced there were 7.1 million sign-ups as of March 31 for private health plans through new electronic insurance marketplaces now operating in all 50 states, a total that exceeded most expectations.
Higher enrollment figures have given a boost to Obama and his Democratic allies against Republicans and other critics of healthcare reform by demonstrating stronger-than-expected demand for the benefits available under the new law.
"The increase in Medicaid enrollments across the country is encouraging," U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in a government blog posting.
The latest data show for the first time actual enrollments in Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) from October 1 through February 28 for 46 states that have reported statistics to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Until now, HHS has been able to release only the number of people who have qualified for coverage.

Only to a statist. This is a new Rat voting constituency. Another untenable program.
Many.
By the time these neoBolsheviks are done, we’ll all be on Medicaid.
Or, how many know that applications have been started for them by the government?
Just let those on Medicaid find competent medical care.
but do these people know they have been enrolled in Medicaid
Recall also the reports that people were being enrolled against their will and couldn’t un-enroll - like rich people who retired and had no current income.
They think they’re enrolled. If they don’t get a card, they are not entitled to anything. There is a huge backlog in Medicaid cards in NJ alone.
I know white collar workers who have been forced to enroll due to Obama’s economy. Unfortunately, most Republicans would rather beat up on the honest unemployed (as opposed to the schemers who manage to get on Medicaid within 2 weeks thanks to social workers and their ilk) than deal with Democrats’ destruction of our economic system.
“Three million lower-income Americans have enrolled in the Medicaid program...
That brings to more than 10 million the number “
Let’s double count them while we’re at it, shall we? It works so well for elections.
Such blithering nonsense. Wasn’t the Medicaid program available prior to 0care?
You can really see how, with so many docs refusing to accept Medicaid reimbursment, what a deleterious effect this will all have on everyones’ healthcare.
And if you believe that you also have to believe that they are also enforcing the immigration laws.
Unfortunately, the “poor” increasingly include the unmotivated and lazy.
The fund already has a projected present value unfunded obligation of $4.6 trillion. What could go wrong?
I just read news reports that state prisons and jails have signed up many thousands of inmates for Obamacare. They’re pawning the costs of health care onto the federal government. Obamacare having success signing up people? No, it’s local bureaucracy foisting costs onto the rest of us. We’re talking millions of jailbirds getting free health care at our expense, and it continues after their release from prison. States are signing up prisoners for Obamacare prior to releasing them after their stint.
wth didn’t obama just put half the country on MEDICAID and tax the other half to pay for it, and leave our insurance ccmpanies alone?

Last night Cavuto posted numbers of 1.2M actual new paying enrollees vs. WH 7.1M with a breakdown. The WH is not happy with that breakdown and is sending in a “surrogate” to debate Cavuto on Fox Business at 8:00 (eastern) tonight (Friday). (may also be on his 3:00 show.) Cavuto just announced.
10 million?? Sure, that's about as believable as the govs' figure of only 10 million illegals being here in the US. Oh, those must be the folks they are talking about who have signed up.
The sensible thing would’ve been to set up no-appointment clinics all over the US, with need determining cost, but everyone paying at least some minimum. This would provide adequate, affordable health care as a choice for everyone. It would’ve been cheaper to keep the insurance companies out of this option, and have a choice, not a mandate.
You know this only starts at age 55, right? And you know several of the Expanded Medicaid states have repealed this outright, right?
