The President one of three things. He is either too afraid to admit that his law is tanking, consumed in his own lies to the point where he believes they are true, or the ACA is actually working. I have very little confidence in it being the latter. He is certainly not afraid to make claims that Obamacare is working. He stated that 8 million people have now signed up through healthcare marketplaces. Exceeding the estimated total of 7 million. However the amount of people under the age of is less than forecasted at 35% compared to 40%. (Not a surprise)
"Now covering more people at less cost than most would have predicted a few months ago" This quote from the president I find to be quite humorous. Of those 8 million sign-ups 5 million of them were completely content with their current health insurance plans and were forced to buy more expensive coverage with less option pertinent to providers. So even though it's "less than most would have predicted" it's still more?
Another thing the president said that raised my eyebrows is that half the states are refusing to take money from the Federal Government that would give millions of people access to healthcare through medicaid. He believes it is out of political spite. That is an asinine comment, you suspect republican governors are denying millions of people coverage because of political spite? No way, maybe its because they have strong reason to believe this is not the direction the healthcare industry needs to be pushed in order to prosper. People don't turn down free money that could be used to help millions of people out of political spite.
EVERA. Everyone should feel this good about healthcare.
