Reading Between the Lines

So I woke up to an email sitting in my inbox titled "9.3 Million New Insureds" The article was published in the LA Times also known as the Less Accurate Times.  They have a reputation of being VERY liberal and donating to the Democratic party. That being said, the numbers provided by Rand Corp. are said to be a ball park estimates and could ACTUALLY be 5 MILLION off in either direction. The article goes on to boast about how almost all of the new insureds are a direct result of Obamacare or the ACA. If you only scratch the surface and believe everything you read without question that might seem totally legitimate. In reality it's not. One measurement that has a direct effect on the number of people that are insured in this country is Unemployment. Unemployment has dropped across the board since last year and 8.2 MILLION people are now insured under their employers that previously were not. So the growing numbered of insured people looks great for the ACA and they are using as propaganda to get the American people to buy into it.

Evera. Everyone should feel this good about healthcare.
