What happened to the 40 million people clamoring all over each other in need of healthcare?

Did we just change the entire system for $6 million people, most of which are old people that already had insurance but had to sign up for this to continue treatment they were receiving?

You think people on Medicare had to sign up for Medicare?

If the percentage of enrollees paying their premiums increases above 35%, it will not be a good issue for Republicans.

If the signup is 6 million, and the percentage is 35%, that is 2 + million paying customers, against the 7 million needed to make it work. Why is that going to be bad for the Republicans?
 
re: Obamacare tops 6 million signups [W:263]

Have they managed to at least match for sign ups the number of people that were forced out of their insurance plans?

And does 'signed up' = 'paid up'?

6 million...'signed up'...for the program that so many democrats and liberals touted as the greatest thing since sliced bread. And they are trumpeting that as a 'success'. :lamo

It wont be.

If the White House could confirm that 6 Million or even 4 Million paid, dont you think they would ? And shove it in the Republicans face ?

MSNBC would be running a nonstop "mission accomplished " special.

If even a Substantial number of people paid up, dont you think Democrats in a election year would be moving TOWARDS the President and Obama care instead of avoiding it like the plague ?

Its the typical dishonest BS from Obama and his followers.

They think every American is an idiot, and we should all be celebrating this great achievment.

They know EXACTLY how many people have paid, their constant ambiguity is proof of that.

And its not good news.

The idea was to have 7.5 million *PAYING* customers by Monday. Otherwise is couldn't pay for itself.

I'm curious - since there were reportedly about 40 million Americans without any kind of health insurance coverage when Obamacare was proposed adopted and the intent was to allow more people to qualify under Medicaid guidelines and to qualify under highly government subsidized plans, where does the 7.5 million paying customers figure come from? I'm assuming, perhaps wrongly, that a large number of the new signups would be those who can now "afford" insurance because it is either completely or partially subsidized by taxpayers. If so, seems to me that others signing up and paying must be paying a good amount in order to offset the costs of the others.

You know this is Bull S***.

First off, they know exactly whos paid and second if they had a substantial number of paid sign ups, they would be reporting it, around the clock.

They would be telling Democrats to move back in, and run on this great "accomplishment".

They're so full of s***.

There is no way to know that right away. Under ACA, once you sign up, you then have 2 months to pay your first premium to the insurance company you choose, since this is pretty much a "marketplace exchange" in which insurance companies compete for your business. You pay your premium to the particular insurance company you are going with, not the government. And it could take months before the insurance companies report each of their own batch of statistics back to the government, which then must compile it all to come up with the final figures.

Of course they know who paid and who didn't. They are being intentionally obtuse, but luckily for them, they have a large number of sheeple who will bleat their message repeatedly and unquestioningly.

Hope and change. Hope and change.

Oooh Nice one !!

Ill have to remember that one.

As bad as Obama needs a victory of any sort dont you think they would report how many people paid if it was a Substantial number ?

Instead of perpetuating this nonsense that they have no idea how many people paid.

They would be running it on MSNBC and CNN on a continuos loop as a " Success " !!

And they DO know.

Its why they're running Obama adds reminding people that in order to be covered they HAVE TO MAKE A PAYMENT.

Propaganda. Thats exactly what it is.

Yea but those numbers are waning.

Democrats know their in trouble.

So Obama's startegy is to treat the rest of us like his followers.

To assume we're stupid enough to take these numbers at face value. Because he's such a inherently honest guy.

I dont buy that for a second.

They're running adds reminding people that just signing up doesn't mean your'e covered.

As hard up Obama is for a Success story, if even half of these people paid, they would be reporting it.

Over and over and over.

Luckily there's as big a number of us who aren't stupid as there are those who are hooting and hollering at this "news", and blindly accepting it as a sign of some sort of success.

There is still hope for America.Then again, I see an OP like this and I start to wonder..
 
re: Obamacare tops 6 million signups [W:263]

The only numbers that count in the end is the number of uninsured AFTER Obamacare versus before Obamacare and how much is the bill for the change.

It's not GOP. They running around scared someone might call them racist.

Sounds like they've narrowed it down to 7 million. [or as many as they can get]

WH: Yeah, about those 7 million people we needed to register for Obamacare… « Hot Air

Dan Pfeiffer, one of President Obama’s top advisers, played down the initial estimation that 7 million people would need to enroll in Obamacare exchanges in order for the program to succeed. He said the White House wasn’t going off of that figure offered by the Congressional Budget Office, but rather just try to “as many people done as possible.”


As many people as possible. I don't know whether to laugh or cry at such an idiotic statement.
 
re: Obamacare tops 6 million signups [W:263]

You, canman, used the word Goebbels directly with the White House.
On this forum, most of your conservative lean doesn't appreciate that, though some will like it, saying very little for them.

You don't get to use Goebbels and Obama, then try to squirm away saying I'm calling you 3rd grade names when that is exactly what you did.
I will call you out every time you play the NAZI card, as I've done .

Hey NIMBY.

Dont you think the Democrats and Obama would be reporting how many people paid if it was even a substantial number ?

Instead of just posting a number minus the context needed to qualify it as a Success ?
