Haha. Very interesting.
Same old tried and true tactic. No matter what, lie and lie big. The ministry of propaganda reports it as he truth and the GOP is left to deny it as if it was an accusation. Why can’t they ever get ahead of these thing? I mean, was there ever any doubt that no matter what the Obama administration would claim to meet these numbers? Was there any doubt that its ministry of propaganda would slavishly report it as the truth.
If I am the GOP I tell every one of my members to keep it simple and say this: “Those numbers are false. But what do you expect from an administration that falsely told Americans if they liked their plans or Doctors they could keep them.”
Yes a huge number of the signups were eligible after Obamacare changed the eligibility rules and if their state agreed to the new lower eligibility requirements (about half the States didn’t)
But they weren’t eligible before. Before Obamacare you had to be not only very poor with no assets, you also had to be either pregnant or single mother with children under 5 or be poor and profoundly disabled.
Under the new Obamacare Medicaid expansion, you only have to have a low income. That’s it.
That’s how they are getting so many “newly insured”.
These people were signing up under old rules, not the new ACA.
