Bammy would be screwed, if he were in charge, which he is not.

I'm one of those people who signed up for Medicaid — because I just lost my job due to the ACA, and thus my insurance, and then my Cobra was cancelled, and since I have metastatic cancer I am going to be a very costly patient. Mr. Obama, et al, if I am typical, you really fixed the health care didn't you?

When he’s getting what he wants, how is it a disaster? Mr. Obama wants the entire system to be engulfed and destroyed, so that a new structure can be erected. Adding millions to SNAP, TANF, Medicaid, Section 8 and other programs speeds up that process.

It’s probably more than twice. The 3.9 figure is just for Oct. and Nov.

As of Dec 1st, we were told 346k people had “enrolled” in a plan.

Now on Jan 1st, we’re supposed to believe that number suddenly plumped up to 2.1M.

Lol.

We still don’t have the full picture.

How many of the “paying” plan sign-ups have actually......
Paid their first month’s premiums?

I’ve heard almost no one has even received a proper bill yet?

2.1 million have signed up for Obamacare 3.9 million have signed up for the Medicaid coverage with Obamacare 6.1 million Americans have lost their insurance due to Obamacare

The 2:1 ratio is deceptive. Everyone who signed up for Medicaid actually has it. No one (not those who put the private insurance in their shopping carts, nor the insurance companies, nor even the ObamaCare administrators) knows how many intend to pay and have actually paid for real insurance. I'd guess the true ratio is 6:1 but even that may be overstating it. This system is in for a catastrophic failure - as planned.

The problem is that Medicaid disappears when you no longer qualify for it (i.e. get a pay increase).

Oh good GRIEF! Read this:

“At the Central Iowa Shelter and Services in Des Moines, Iowa, health insurance navigator Andrea Pearce stood in a crowded dining hall on a recent day, shouting instructions on how residents can sign up for Medicaid....”

Seriously; THEY ARE SIGNING UP PEOPLE AT THE HOMELESS SHELTERS to boost their numbers...this is from last week.
