New Numbers Out

The Obamacare enrollment numbers as of Feb 1st were 3.3 million. Obama claimed they needed 7.3 million by March 31 to be a success. The Jan. enrollments were 1.1 million which is down from the Dec. enrollment from 1.8 million. SO to get to over 7 million by Mar 31 are they not going in the wrong direction? :?

And remember over 6 million Americans LOST their coverage so about 89% of the 3.3 million enrolled in the first four months are those that lost their coverage and the other 11% are the ones that Obama was targeting with his NON AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE BILL.

Here are the numbers that need to be paid attention to.

The new enrollment figures also show a slight increase in the number of young adults signing up for coverage. Young adults between 18 and 35 made up 27 percent of the enrollees in January, compared to 24 percent of those signing up from October through December.

young adults

Taken together, this means that 25 percent of those who have enrolled are the young adults that the Obama administration thinks will be healthier, and thus hold down insurance premiums in the exchanges. This is still below the 40 percent target that the Obama administration had previously set for overall exchange enrollment, although the hope, on their part, is that the 25 percent number continues to inch up in February and March.

They need 4 million more to sign up in the next two months and most of those better be the young and not just those that have lost their so called crappy policies If Obama has any chance of pulling this lie off. :roll:

not to throw more water on Obama's dwindling fire,.. but

Health insurance plans purchased through Obamacare only kick in once a customer pays their first month's premium. On Monday, the Wall Street Journal reported that "only about half of enrollees billed for plans offered by more than 100 insurers in 17 states had paid their first month's premium,"

Experts say that first-time insurance buyers may not fully understand the duties and responsibilities that come with ownership. A recent study published in the Journal of Health Economics found that only 14% of individuals who have health coverage could correctly answer all four of four basic questions about health insurance, including understanding what a “deductible” and “copay” mean. If comprehension levels are that low for those who already have insurance, analysts worry what that might mean for first-time insurance purchasers, especially for a program as complex as Obamacare.

Persistence of the Obamacare nonpayment trend would pose serious challenges for the Obama administration's ability to hit its goal of seven million paying customers by the end of March.

According to the latest CNN poll, support for Obamacare is now at a record low 35%.

If they didn't pay how can they count them,, let alone count on them to lower the cost for others.. ?

Contrary to the numbers President Obama has been toting around, not all of the three million people who enrolled for Obamacare made their first payment, The Daily Caller reported.

Anyone who missed their payment now has a canceled plan.

They did their due diligence by pointing out that analysts predicted about 20 percent of enrollments would fall through, but in California, 49 percent of enrollees have failed to make their first payment.

Maybe the liberal Californians still think it is FREE?



Another question to consider is: “Who are the people who have not paid?”

Perhaps some are healthy adults who still don’t see a real need for full coverage. Others may be struggling to scrape up the money to pay for premiums on health care they didn’t have before – or the more expensive plans Obamacare made them get.

If many of these people are the “healthy ones," the all-too-important ratio of healthy-to-sick Americans could be thrown off:

Therefore, if fewer younger, healthier people enroll and even fewer younger, healthier people pay up, the premiums for health insurance will rise. In the end, Americans will end up paying more out of pocket for their health care – exactly what Obama’s lengthy law was designed to avoid.

Obama will likely continue to amend the law with his almighty word in order to save face, while the rest of us watch as the “Affordable” Care Act crumbles.

Didn't someone tell them this would not work?





Many budgets are strained due to the great recession.. do they expect full payment or are there monthly payment plans?

cause I hope they don't expect a healthy young adult to pay the entire premium all at once.. :shock: :roll:

Just how many went on Obamacare and signed up thinking it was going to be free due to Obama's promised subsidies only to find out it wasn't and they could not afford Obama's AFFORDABLE healthcare plans?
