4.2 million have signed up for Obamacare as open enrollment nears close. - Mar. 11, 2014

And the GOP is getting nervous....

 

[HelenaHandbag]

4.2 million out of the supposed 30-45 million (depending upon whose bogus numbers you were using) uninsured?

Yeah, they are just breaking the doors down to sign up for that mess!

 

[alan1]

Oh, this is rich.

The government says there is 30-45 million uninsured.
The government passes a law requiring 100% of people to have insurance.
The news media and JimH52 think it is a success when 4.2 million additional people get insurance under the threat of government force.

Democrat math....

48 million were uninsured according to Obama and the Democrats.
Add the 5 million that lost coverage because of ObamaCare.
So we now have 53 million uninsured...

Now let's count the 4 million that the media said signed up....

Doesn't that mean we now have at least 49 million uninsured....

And the Obama folks call this a success ???

In today's NY Times....

By ROBERT PEAR 4:13 PM ET

The number of people who signed up for private health insurance under the Affordable Care Act in February declined for the second month in a row.

 

[boedicca]

Most of the enrollees were churned out of Plans They Liked, so this is a bigger headache by far for the Dems.

Just sayin'.

Nervous about what? I'm a Democrat and I'm getting concerned for my friends who aren't as well off as me. They are in serious trouble with their insurance which is going to go away.

Sebelius is on record saying success will be measured if they get 7 million to sign up by the fast approaching deadline...They are at 4.2 million now...

Will they reach the 7 million?

six million on medicaid

one million on subsidy

 

[Rozman]

And I just hate to bring up this little factoid....
Sign ups don't really mean insured...
Have the 4.2 million that have signed up completed the process and are now insured.

 

[bedowin62]

why cant Obama say how many actually signed up for healthcare and made a payment?

idiots and hypocrites

That all depends on what the definition of 7 million is.

I think that's the last thing they want out there.
This way they can throw out any number that makes Obama look good and his followers
will lap it up.

 

[Darkwind]

I hear that the actual number of people who have paid for those signups is in the hundreds of thousands.....and now, the Maryland exchange is coming under federal investigation.

Signed up and paying for are two separate things, and in both cases, obamacare is failing to reach expectations.

deficit insured the democrat way

 

[alan1]

It just kills me how the government and the press is touting this as a success.
They passed a law that says 100% of people have to purchase health insurance, and they even subsidize it. Then, when 10-12% of the uninsured sign up, they call it a success. It's crazy that people believe the shit they are spouting.

Imagine if previously, there was no law against rape and 35-45 million people were rapists. then imagine a law was passed that made raping a person illegal. Then imagine that 10-12% of rapists ceased their activities and the news media and government called that a success. That would be crazy, but that is what is happening. Oh, and what makes it even more ridiculous is that 4.2 million people in the US is barely over 1% of the total population.
It fucking blows my mind how stupid some of the people in the USA have become.

No we aren't. They are signing up not because they like it, but because it's the law.

And the DNC are idiots.

for years the Left has been insisting that 40 million were waiting, even dying for healthcare. Now all of a sudden 4 million is something to brag about. only 36 million to go left-wing nutjobs!!

And MSNBC and the like will cover Christie/bridgegate 24/7 and not spend a minute on this scam.

4.2 million people
The democrats completely re-vamped health insurance for just slightly over what is so far, barely over 1% of the total US population.
Even if they hit their goal of 7 million, we're still only talking about 2% of the total population.
Since when are sweeping government changes determined for the 2%?
