ObamaCare Enrollment Is Nothing To Brag About
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 1/11/2016 | Staff

Health Care: The White House sees this year's ObamaCare enrollment as another big win. But even the law's most ardent supporters — or, perhaps, especially those people — should be worried about the numbers.

The president is sure to laud ObamaCare at his final State of the Union speech on Tuesday. And no doubt he'll boast about the 11.3 million people enrolled in an ObamaCare exchange by the end of the year....

11 million people enrolled, after 8 million lost their insurance for a net gain of 3 million?

At a cost of $1.4 trillion (so far) thats a half a millon dollars per new enrollee.

that’s some GOOooood governmenting!

I fail to see how they can brag about enrollment in something that is in-effect compulsory. If you don't enroll, you are fined.

Hey, I could start a TS fan club. Join or else I'll hit you over the head with a club once a week. Enrollment skyrockets, yeah! I'm popular! ...

Only one third of the 30 million plus uninsured prior to Obamacare have enrolled. Most of which already had insurance, but now can’t afford to use the insurance. Another few million dumped into Medicare on the tax payers dime, of which more and more Dr. are refusing to accept, all at the cost of trillions.

Only Marxicrates could be pleased with those kind of results

And Marxicrats are the ones writing the script for our passive lapdog enemedia

Anytime I see a media article supporting obamacare I figure the person writing it has employer healthcare and is not personally enrolled

3 million people is less than 1% of the population.

More people have been hurt by Obamacare than helped, several times over.

Obamacare is so bad that even when forced and threatened with fines, 20 million of the 30 million uninsured refuse to accept Obama’s legacy gift to them. It’s time to repeal that terrible law.

Not a single person has insurance under obamacare. The high monthly costs and the massive deductible means you pay and pay while the ceo makes $36 million a year while turning you down for healthcare. This does not include their stock they were given.
