OBAMACARE
About 8.8 million people selected a plan or were re-enrolled through HealthCare.gov during open enrollment this year. As of March 31, 7.5 million had coverage and paid premiums.
So, 1.3 million people fell off this spring’s Obamacare rolls while 949,934 signed up after the open enrollment period.
Overall, that is 949,934 steps forward and 1.3 million steps backward for the federal Obamacare exchange enrollment.
More, the Obama administration hasn’t yet told us how many people dropped their coverage since March 31st. Health plans are telling me that their Obamacare enrollment, like last year, melts at the rate of about 2% each month.
I will suggest that it is important for these reporters to ask the administration how many more have dropped their coverage during the same period people used the Special Enrollment Period.
Here’s the bottom line. The Obamacare insurance exchanges aren’t enrolling anywhere near the number of people they were supposed to. And, there is no proof Obamacare has grown since the close of open enrollment. In fact the anecdotal and historical evidence would suggest it is now shrinking.
But we really don’t know because the Obama administration is just reporting the good news and a good share of the press appears to be happy to pass these numbers along–albeit in a technically correct but hardly complete way.
Putin and taxes in one question Wikileaks question. LMAO
Insurers are leaving states in droves. If that isn’t “denying coverage” nothing is. Trump needs to hit that.
