America's Uninsured Rate Is Now Lowest Ever

I wonder if Kentucky Governor elect Matt Bevin has heard - "There’s evidence that being insured may even cut down on your risk of death"

Thanks, Obamacare: America's Uninsured Rate Is Now Lowest Ever
Nov 5, 2015

In June 2010, about 16% of Americans were uninsured.

But by June 2015, that number had fallen to 9% — and it’s never been this low before.

​

The new data comes from the National Health Interview Survey, which the CDC and the Census Bureau have been conducting for more than 50 years. The questions have changed over the years, but the answers were always the same: More than 10% of respondents, and sometimes as many as 18% of Americans, have reported that they’ve been uninsured.

Not anymore. This is the second straight survey to find that America’s uninsured rate is now in the single digits. More than 20 million previously uninsured Americans have gained coverage in the past five years.

And every new survey makes the connection to the Affordable Care Act even more obvious. You can see America’s uninsured rate significantly decline in 2014, when Obamacare’s coverage expansion programs began to kick in.

It wasn't that long ago you were claiming Obamacare was a job killer, you were wrong about that, now you're claiming people with jobs aren't paying their fair share?

Why should I believe your projection? Please explain yourself...

"There’s evidence that being insured may even cut down on your risk of death"

There is also evidence that nothing is free

The ACA is a huge success, except in the states where Republicans shut it down.

Many life saving measures are not cost free, what's your point?

32,000,000 still uninsured and those that have insurance are facing $5K deductibles? That's what you are calling "insurance"? LOL!!

More people are insured than ever before? Oh magawd.

Don't worry, folks. The Republicans have promised us 93 million workers would will lose their health insurance in 2014 2015 2016. It's all good.

Whew!

 

[g5000]

It's too bad ObamaCare didn't keep its promise to lower health care costs.

But we all knew that was bullshit, right?

Well, some of us did.

We do it all the time.

Your tax deductions, credits, and exemptions are subsidized by other people by way of higher tax rates on everyone.

And, specific to the topic, the biggest government subsidy by far is the employer sponsored health insurance tax exemption.

Does that include the 47% that pay no income tax? How high are their income tax rates.

The biggest tax subsidy by far is the almost half that don't pay a dime in income taxes and get back more through things like the EITC than they put in.

Something is very wrong with a system whereby working people pay the government but non-working people get paid by the government.

An employer taking what they pay toward health insurance is a business expense.
