Obamacare does little to reduce the number of uninsured.

Seems very few uninsured are being insured under Landrieucare--I mean Obamacare.

From the Washington Post

quote:

t appears so, but we don't know by how much yet. We have a general sense of how many people have newly enrolled in Medicaid or stayed on their parents' health plans, but we don't know how many of those signing up through the exchanges, or off them, were previously uninsured. Some surveys have provided insight into this question, though. A McKinsey and Co. survey earlier this month found 27 percent of those signing up for exchange coverage were uninsured in the past year. Gallup this month reported that the uninsured rate dropped from 17.1 percent in the last quarter of 2013 to 15.9 percent in the first quarter of 2014.

Give it time - it will actually result in a net negative of those insured. To that point, if Obama was not exceeding his authority in pushing back mandates, such as the employer mandate, that net negative would like already be in effect.

Yes and unemployment rate is at 7%

Falsifying unemployment numbers during the election, which is fact. Wake up Sheeple, these numbers are a fricking joke!!

If the health care numbers that they are lying about are true, why aren't the Dem. Senate members using this great achievement ACA to help them get re-elected. Because they know the truth!!

They running faster than Carl Lewis, in the Olympics away from this fricking failure!!

And if they passed their milestone of enrollee's why are they delaying, until after the election ? Because they are lying mother frickers, and you sheep eat it up!! Some dumb fricking Libtards up in here!!! Lo fricking L

Actually I would not be surprised that in the long run it will create more uninsured due to people losing affordable insurance plans that do not comply with Obamacare regulations only to find they that can't afford Obamacare compliant plans.

This administration is so dumb, they need the 18 to 30 yr. olds to make it work, but the law says you can stay on your parents until you're 26 yrs.

So they waiting on the young to enroll, they already on their parents plan you dumb asses!!

We got some geniuses running this country!!

It reduces the number of uninsured NONWORKING people, while leaving the working poor and middle class without insurance or at least decent affordable insurance. The few plans I'm seeing pt's can afford are still higher premiums than before just now their deductible is $6500 instead of $1000-1500 with copays. $6500 must be met before copays kick in. And they wanted to eliminate shitty insurance? I guess so they can make it shittier.
