His point is that somehow 46 million uninsured means 46 million who want insurance but can't get it.
As has been pointed out through the entire debate (even while Jakes Boyfriend is goring him from behind), is that there are lots of people who have access to insurance who won't avail themselves. If someone makes 75 K a year, they can probably afford insurace. If they chose not to get it, that is their choice and it isn't up to us to give it to them if they don't want it.
14 million people are eligible for Medicaid but are just too lazy to simply register! They qualified BEFORE ACA for Medicaid and the same group
that wants to administer our entire health system and now we are hearing about gross mismanagement of VA couldn't get these 14 million
already eligible Registered! So how in the hell are they competent to run 1/6th of the economy?
The same liars that totally ignored these 14 million ALSO counted 10 million illegals as uninsured!
Now Obama admits the illegals don't qualify for Obamacare SO why in the f..k did he include them in this number:
"I dont have to explain to you that nearly 46 million Americans dont have health insurance coverage today. " HE now admits HE LIED!
And yes your point about the 18 million falsely counted as "uninsured" that don't want it as they don't need it an can afford it as they make over $50k a year!
I am glad you understand the point that there NEVER were 46 million that wanted, or eligible or didn't know !
4 million!
I understand all to well. This pathetic lie has been one of the cornerstones of the left's efforts to push through some form of healthcare bill.
Still no takers.
It is amazing that you've laid out the numbers and you get is JakeTheFake farting out how this has already been dealt with....which is a huge lie.
Totally agree with you!
This gigantic lie is repeated even by conservatives that don't seem to comprehend that nearly 40% of the so-called 46 million uninsured,
don't NEED (under 34 so expensive services not needed), can afford (make over $50,000) but also don't want to use their employers' health plan!
So why were they counted as "uninsured"??? To boost the number!
Then 22% of the 46 million are NOT citizens... and in fact NOW after obamacare was passed EVEN Obama stopped using 46 million because he said
these 10 million would not be eligible for ACA...again after lying about 46 million to pass ACA.
And not one of even conservatives ever asked WHY did 14 million people Eligible for Medicaid NOT get registered? This is nearly 30% of the 46 million!
So why would we trust the same people that not only can't get 14 million people registered for Medicaid to manage 1/6th of the economy correctly?
Totally agree with you!

What's more funny is that you have Harry Reid essentially saying that people are not smart enough to manage their own health insurance. So trust us...we are smarter.
Then we see how well the web-site roll out went.
I'm big enough and definitely smart enough to know I make mistakes.
After all I am not like Obama who was called a god by NewsWeek editor.
I generally though provide LINKS for any statements and I truly don't like to waste my time if I"M WRONG!
There are major points I've continued to make here but NO ONE SEEMS TO refute them!
HENCE I'm right and yet NONE of you are man enough to admit it!
Example I. There have never been 46 million Americans that wanted and could not get health insurance! LIE!
1) The Census tells us that when they counted that 46 million included were 10 million non-citizens!
Source: Income, Poverty and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States: 2009 - Income & Wealth - Newsroom - U.S. Census Bureau
That leaves 36 million...
2) The Census agrees that they have made mistakes in the undercounting of people eligible for Medicaid.
"Of the 44.7 million non-elderly uninsured individuals identified in the 2004 Census Current Population Survey (CPS) data,
nearly one-third — almost 14 million — were reachable through existing government health programs such as Medicaid and the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) under current rules!
In the latest Census health insurance report, the Census Bureau acknowledges that the survey “…underreports Medicare and Medicaid coverage compared with enrollment and participation data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).”
SOURCE: http://coverageforall.org/pdf/BC-BS_Uninsured-America.pdf
Do you understand? BEFORE ACA 14 million need ONLY enroll and they became INSURED! that leaves 22 million not 46 million
3) 18 million people fit into this category..Americans that don't want health insurance.
called "young invincibles" i.e. under 34, therefore DON'T NEED.. these 18 million can afford (make over $50k) but don't want to pay their employers'
health plan fees.
So why were 18 million that don't WANT health insurance still counted as part of the 46 million??
SOURCE: CRISIS OF THE UNINSURED: 2009
That leaves 4 million that truly want and need but couldn't get insurance!
FINE let's insure them with the 10% tax on lawyers $270 billion and that provides a $5,000 policy each year for each of the 4 million truly uninsured!
Example II. The BIGGEST cost of health care is the $850 billion that doctors attest they cause because of fear of lawsuits!
"Physicians estimate the cost of defensive medicine in US at $650 to $850 billion per year. This is 26 to 34% of all US healthcare costs.
Up to 92% of US physicians practice defensive medicine.
76% of physicians report that defensive medicine decreases patient access to healthcare.
53% of physicians report delaying new techniques, procedures, and treatments due to fear of lawsuits.
Patients most affected by defensive medicine include those visiting emergency rooms and those requiring surgery.
Emergency medicine, primary care, and OB/GYN physicians are most likely to practice defensive medicine.
79 to 83% of surgeons and OB/GYNs have been named in lawsuits.
Physicians contracted by the federal government practice significantly less defensive medicine as they are protected against lawsuits by the Federal Tort Claims Act.
Only 48% practice defensive medicine compared to 92% of non-government physicians.
89% of physicians support a patient’s right to be compensated fairly for true negligence.

here's the problem with your post .... for you to apply for for health care you have to have a social security number... as much as you want to believe that illegales want health care that would be the furtherest from their desires... imagine you as a illegal... and you take a social security number and you're sitting in a hospital for health care to cover your cost ... here come Ice to ask you to prove who you are ... that's why your psot is sooooooooooooo hysterical .... what person who is here illegal wants to put a big buills eye on themselves...

Such a simple simple recognition that even now Obama agrees 10 million of the supposedly 46 million are not citizens!
Getting back to Obama's statement, he said, "Nearly 46 million Americans don't have health insurance coverage today." That is the most recent number for the U.S. Census available, but he messes it up in one way that would tend to overcount the uninsured and in another way that would tend to undercount them.
It's an overcount because it counts noncitizens. Take out the 9.7 million noncitizens and the actual number is closer to 36 million
Number of those without health insurance about 46 million | PolitiFact
But see Obama USED that number BEFORE ACA was passed... NOW he uses 36 million WHICH as pointed out FREQUENTLY includes 14 million that
were totally eligible BEFORE ACA for Medicaid!
The 2004 Census Current Population Survey (CPS) identified 44.7 million non-elderly uninsured in 2003.
Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association contracted with the Actuarial Research Corporation (ARC) to provide a detailed analysis of the uninsured identified
by the Census Bureau, which found:
Nearly one-third [14.7 million] were reachable through public programs, such as Medicaid and the SCHIP program for children
