Does anyone actually believe the 7.1 million number?

I think the 7.1 could be people who created accounts on the website. But as it has been said over and over and over again, you can't see pricing until you add a plan to your cart. So I'd imagine 25-50% of those 7.1 just wanted to see pricing and never went through with it.

I had a patient tell me last night that her sister was afraid of the penalty and signed up through Humana two days ago.
Unmarried waitress with two kids. 79 cents a month with subsidies. Don't know the deductible.
She was dancing a jig from being so happy. Said the guvment was paying for everything.
I Said that the government doesn't have any money except what is taken from working people in businesses through taxes. So really we are all paying for her subsidy.
Didn't care. Kept dancing that jig.

It's as believable as all his twitter followers are.

Both numbers could be somewhat accurate if you think about it. It depends upon what you are referring to. Policies purchased through an exchange or newly insured. I'm not taking a position,
If we are spending 1.23 trillion divided by 9 years to insure 858,000 people then we are possibly the dumbest fricking nation ever to exist at this point. And that's even if we assume we add 800K more every year for those 9 years which would seem an absulutely absurd assumption.

If everyone may recall they added a box on the website that gave people an extension if they marked it. It basically says they will be signing up. I am sure they are counting those among their numbers.
As someone mentioned earlier I find it amusing that they have numbers to brag about, but never seem to know what the numbers are in hearings...

Because Obama signed off on the repeal of the law that prohibited government using propaganda on the public.
In hearings they would be required to answer questions, provide data, etc.
The can just openly propagandize the public on TV.
it's all a sham.

quote:I would still be opposed to Obamacare but the numbers we're seeing now make the actual cost per person helped downright comical. The frickers shoulda just sent out insurance vouchers if they're gonna f up this bad.
Honestly, if the ACA had 14 million sign-ups in the first month and 100% of enroll-ees had paid would you change your opinion on Obamacare?
quote:Well, um, even based upon how the SUPPORTERS said this shite was supposed to work, how many and who enroll is related to its potential efficacy.
The efficacy of the program is what matters.
I mean frick. This is why I fricking HATE liberalism. The cost of a thing seems wholly irrelevant to them when govt is doing it. Government could go into the house providing market and build each 1500sf home for a cost of 1 million a piece and liberals would laud how many people got new homes out of the deal.
It's some kind of mental damned defect.

I know a healthy, soon-to-be 26 yr old guy with an engineering degree from A&M that signed up for Obamacare this week. Cited "getting kicked off his parent's plan" as the reason.
It happened to me as well. I'm 26 and a grad student taking on student loans. Now paying $200+ premiums. Thought it was supposed to be cheaper for somebody like me. Maybe I filled out the form wrong. frick who knows, getting on the GF's insurance in 9 months.

Until we all pay a fair share of taxes, this will only worsen.

Obama is too busy doing victory laps to worry about this thread.

He's 26 with an engineering degree from A&M and doesn't have a job that offers him insurance?
I've been paying for my own health insurance since I was 23.
