Obamacare Enrollment Is Sinking Rapidly
The Daily Caller ^ | 11 Aug 2014 | Sarah Hurtubise

Posted on 08/11/2014 5:43:05 PM PDT by mandaladon

The number of Obamacare enrollments for top health insurer Aetna is plummeting, according to a report from Investor’s Business Daily.

Aetna’s enrollment reached 720,000 by May 20, after the final end to the the extended open enrollment period. But by the end of June Aetna had less than 600,000 paying customers, IBD reports, and the company expects paying customers to fall to “just over 500,000″ by the end of 2015. That would be a drop of just under 30 percent from the May sign-up numbers — the last time the Obama administration released its official Obamacare enrollment tally.

Aetna’s reported drop-off rate appears to be more extensive than other companies. Cigna reported that between both its exchange customers and those in the private individual market, it expects to lose around 20,000 paying customers throughout the year, out of 300,000.

The federal government released monthly enrollment reports throughout Obamacare’s first open enrollment period, but stopped offering details when widespread enrollment ended in mid-May. But Americans with certain qualifying life changes can still sign up for coverage on an Obamacare exchange at any time, and customers are regularly dropping coverage as well.

But the administration refuses to give out any details on the total enrollment and has never released information on the percentage of Obamacare sign-ups that followed through and paid their first premiums to activate their coverage............................I wonder why!

Obamacare needs to die a quick and painful death. It needs to be promptly, summarily eradicated from the fabric of federal government, as does our current Commander in Chief, albeit lawfully.

Well, obeying the law is passe now, especially in DC. But you cannot blame people for not risking so much when it comes to health care. It is about survival. The present regime could not care less.

I remember the MSM being all giddy over the numbers of people enrolled and all not mentioning it was the law to do so.

Doesn’t really matter. Obama has blown up the existing health care system and coming rate increases and coverage restrictions will lead to its collapse. He is betting that the planned chaos will lead to massive calls for single payer government care.

And it all ignores the huge issue of just how many of those enrollees actually have insurance?? One of the many lies about Obamacare.

You have to credit to Obama for one thing. He is a master of subversion.

How to become “exempt” from Obamacare IRS penalties.

1. Be late on a utility bill once in the previous six months.
(for those few who have never, ever been late on a bill, you will receive a shut-off notice, which will exempt you from the law)

2. Claim confusion, fear or difficulty in understanding the need for compliance with the law.(not just an excuse for illegal aliens, also something registered Republicans and Independents can use. Democrats already know this)

So there aren’t 46 million uninsured any more.

Probably more like 60 million.

You read it here first, and last. MSM won’t ever report this stuff. Ever. The Fourth Estate has become Fifth Column.

Try to find a doctor who isn’t from a third-world hole.

Well we won’t achieve that unless we can vote out the stinking RINOS like lamar alexander, bob corker and their ilk.

This old saw a lesser evil is more acceptable than to real evil is not rational thinking. Evil is Evil, no matter if it has a R or a D after their name.

Detroit exempt?

Everyone is exempt!

Be late on a utility bill in a six month period (trust me, they all send a shut off notices), or claim confusion or fear of the law.

It’s nationwide!

Unless you always pay all utility bills on or before the due date, and won’t claim to be confused or in fear of the law, you are also exempt.

But you can voluntarily pay the “fine”, if you want.
I guess it depends on if/when you find out how badly the ACA law will begin to hurt you, personally.
