ACA enrollment numbers

[hornpharmd]

7.1 Million as of 4/1/14.

I am thinking we will see how many actually paid very soon.

Does the number include prison inmates who were registered to get states off the hook for their expenses?

Does it include the 3 million more people enrolled in Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program from October through February?

Does the number include the 20% who never paid?The Link


Does the number include the additional people that the government benevolently signed up itself in order to break the 7 million barrier in the last week?The Link


Luckily, there is undoubtedly no fire from all this smoke and Occum's Razor has dulled.

this thread is funny.

ACA is a huge mess and a huge nightmare. Why try to defend it?

there are people trying to defend this nightmare legislation in this thread, but I agree that the main point was to look at the Obamacare numbers.

Here is an article that uses Rand as their source of information and a study by Express Scripts. The article seems to be written from a conservative. You can debate the validity of the article, but it does echo what most that are against the ACA have been saying...that premiums are going to increase significantly because of the new members that are signing up need more medical care that previously was unavailable.

So you are not willing to pay higher prices to cover others? You are the ultimate definition of a liberal hypocrite. Always willing to rob Peter to pay Paul, as long as your name is not Peter.

ACA has not produced 10 million enrollees. I seriously think if Obama made a statement that your name was not Roger35, you would believe it.

The law is a failure as highlighted by the departure of the idiot in charge of its rollout. Premiums are higher on those who pay and even you are complaining about your increasing costs. As it gets later in the year and people realize they never hit their deductible, but have paid thousands in premiums, the angst will accelerate.

You will pay more as a result of so many people getting "free rides." Just stop being a hypocrite.

Uninformed, do you really believe the crap in the link you posted?

All the MSM are in BO's corner and will never report anything negative. I am a retired teacher, and was told last year that my premium would double, from $400 a month to $800. Because of all the Obama Law Changes (apparently a President can change the law) I got a one year reprieve. But come September, I assume I will have to choose from being in an HMO at no monthly cost increase but with limited choices of doctors or being in an expensive plan with high deductibles at double the premium. Yea! And anyone who thinks the cost of insurance is not going to rise is a fool. Not to mention the fact that health care insurance and health care are two different and independent things. I continue to be amazed and saddened by the naivety of so many people that pretend to be educated.

That rep was lying to you just as The Obama administration has lied to the public. No, there are no specific guidelines or rules requiring increases to co-pays. However, there are cuts to reimbursement and also new increased costs on the company. As a result, as a company's revenues decrease and costs increase, they will raise prices. It is a foreign concept to liberals, but it is universal fact. Quit being a hypocrite that you love the law, but are unwilling to pay your part of it.
