Insured by the taxpayers maybe.
They include all of the Medicaid recipients that were discovered when people were mandated by Obamacare to have health ins.
Two points:
1. They didn't need to nuke the healthcare system with Ocare to find these people who were eligible for Medicaid.
2. If Obamacare was eliminated tomorrow, these people would still be covered.... by Medicaid.
I'd like to see a stat of how many of those 20 million paid the penalty vs buying the insurance — penalty = $1200 vs an insurance premium of $7,000. The decision is pretty simple for most.

We’re going broke.
Lies, or facts, mean nothing to liberals.
But but but, what about the 95 million unemployed? Which is worse? Its fine and dandy many are now covered but I bet if they (Democrats) had worked on getting 95 million (their number) employed all would be much better. Sick of hearing their millions number. That will make you sick!
How many doesn’t matter. If anyone thinks those people are entitled to health insurance, they should contribute to pay for it themselves, or take up a collection on crowd funding. Some people are very generous with other people’s money.
Yep.
An Insurance card is NOT “healthcare”.
That was my tagline in 2009/2010.
I’ve listened to & read A LOT about how many people who had no healthcare insurance at all actually got coverage under Obamacare. The number is approximately 12 to 13 million. When the lying Dems talk about bigger numbers, they conveniently double count and include people who had health insurance but it got taken away from them because of Obamacare............so they had to sign up for new health insurance under Obamacare.
I remember when the Liar in Chief was ramming Obamacare through, he said 47 million uninsured people would get coverage. Total bald-faced lie. Cankles used the number 20 million.
So in a country of 330 million plus people, Obamacare may have provided coverage for 13 million—that’s 3.9% of the population. Well that was a brilliant idea—break the system, destroy the system, all for 3.9% of the population and screw the other 96%.
I am so glad Obamacare is going to be tossed out with the trash where it belongs.
Even more ammunition for repeal and don’t replace.
For several years, Obamacare has been claiming it now covers 20 million previously uninsured.
Pre-Obamacare, there were supposedly 40 million uninsured. So, why did only 20 million get coverage, since, for those 40 million uninsured, it would probably be subsidizes, thus free?
The Obamacare numbers are about as manipulated as the employment and economic numbers.
Many of the enrollees were Medicaid enrollees who are welfare system riders who o not pay in.
The total is down to about 10 million as ObamaCare costs become unaffordable and near the entire yearly take home pay of many potential recipients.
ObamCare is a fraud and failure
Three card Monte loses all his money.
I suspect that many of these Medicaid recipients also are not even Americans.
