Paul seems to always be being half right, in the sense of being on the "correct" side of half of the issues.

He is still a loose cannon on the other half.

I was retired on Medicare this year and was still carrying COBRA from my work because my wife is a couple of years younger and not eligible. I found a cheaper policy for my wife, signed up for it and got supplemental insurance for myself. This is probably 2 of the 7 million counts on ObamaCare.

The RAND Corporation has been a government intelligence mining operation as old as the CIA.

How many who have been labeled “uninsured”, are veterans who have been getting ALL of their care through the V.A. system, like me?

And, oh yeah, I refuse.

I would want to see more details on the 27% that were previously uninsured and understand what percentage got it because they are being forced to get insurance. The supposed goal was to get insurance for all these people who did not have it and supposedly wanted it. So how many people does that represent? It is far lower than 27% and I doubt they will ever allow us to find that out.

So that means that after spending billions of dollars, only about 10% of the 30 million or so of people that didn’t have insurance before now have it because of Obamacare.

THAT is exactly the data I’ve been waiting for. Start with the number of insured before this nightmare began, then subtract the number who were cancelled, and add back the number of new sign-ups. And make sure to distinguish between Medicare and normal insurance. It’s not complicated, just easy to lie about and claim you don’t have the data (even if you’re the Sec. of HHS). But it is known, and I’ll trust McKinsey to have done the arithmetic well enough.

This chart needs to be plastered on ever conservative website, every blog, every TV show and the stats need to be repeated with Hannity-like monotony until we get the word out about what a sham and fraud this whole Obamacare thing is.
