When there is currently only 6.4 million people on Obamacare as of January 1st?

Serious question from a numbers guy.

CNN

quote:

Although President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to repeal Obamacare next month, a record number of people have signed up for coverage for 2017. Nearly 6.4 million Americans have selected Obamacare policies through the federal exchange for coverage starting Jan. 1, federal officials announced Wednesday. That's 400,000 more than had selected policies a year ago.

Sorry "numbers guy," it would take too much work to explain it to you. Just remain ignorant of these matters and cling to whoever validates your ignorance.

I heard it would be much worse than that.

In other words, you couldn't independently explain it if your life depended on it.

I'm not even with the CBO but I submit over the next 120 years 320+ million Americans will die regardless of health insurance, global warming, or medical advances.

Ain't nobody getting out alive.

Obamacare killed this couple just a few days ago.

So I guess people will die either way.

Over 20 million Americans have died since Obamacare was put in place.

3/4ths of the people who would "lose insurance" would be because they would choose to have nothing to do with obamacare, you know, like Congress and other entitled people who now have that choice.

The democrats are trying to fool people with this nonsense. All about getting the votes from the poor people.

It's the biggest lie they could think of. It means 16 million people might not have insurance anymore. So of course they're going to automatically die.

The 16 million number is also because ending Obamacare will end the individual mandate and some people don't want to spend money on health insurance so they will decide on their own not to get it.

Ok, I will put in some work.
First: the CBO doesn't say that "16 million people will die." Rather, the CBO said 16 million could lose health insurance. LINK So the first number, from the "numbers guy," isn't a reflection of the CBO figures. This is made up to make an invalid point.

The second number, the 6.4 million people, according to the numbers guy's our own box quote, is the number of people who signed up between January 1, 2017 and the cut off date of the statistic. It does not represent the total number of people who have health insurance in America through either ACA regulated policies or Medicaid expansion. It is apparently a sign up number through the ACA marketplace this year alone.

So, third, the "numbers guy" starts with a fake number (16 million dead) and then applies a small subset of ACA enrollment expansion, then feigns wonder as to how the comparison of a fake number with an irrelevant number renders a fake conclusion, that no one has made except the OP.

And some of y'all still jump in to defend this kind of poorly done amateur propaganda.

I don't know. But it sounds like it might help eliminate our income gap. Not exactly the way the democrats would like it to happen... But hey, nobody is perfect.

Less poors = higher average income. Win win.
