By now everyone has heard about Obama's derisive comment that the 4 dead Americans were one of "phony scandals".. but why hasn't anyone called him on the use of his "phony numbers"?
At his press conference on August 9, 2013 he said at :
3:49 p.m. ET: Obama says the GOPs holy grail is making sure 30 million Americans are uninsured. He says their assertion is that people will be better off without it.

So what changed from this statement by Obama..
but when Obama said: "We are not a nation that accepts nearly 46 million uninsured men, women and children,"
46 Million Uninsured: A Look Behind The Number : NPR
Why are there 16 million less?
More importantly did Obamacare pass by just 6 YES votes because the "YES" voters believed Obama's 46 million and where did that number come from???
Obama like many use the numbers from the US Census 46 million...
BUT that same Census didn't ASK these questions of the "uninsured".
1) "Do you know according to your income you qualify for Medicaid and therefore and NOT uninsured?
As a result the Census simply counted 14 million as "uninsured" that qualified all they need do is enroll!
Proof??
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:
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 Childrens Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) under current rules

2) Now even the Census admitted: 10 million are NOT CITIZENS yet Obama et.al count them as "uninsured"!

3) Finally the Census counted 18 million as "uninsured" but never asked WHY these people didn't have insurance!
18 million people under age 34, making over $50,000 a year who pay an average of less then $1,000 per year for health services out of their own pocket refusing their employers' health care plans!
WHY are they counted as part of the "46 million uninsured"?
Source: CRISIS OF THE UNINSURED: 2009
Add 18 million that DIDN'T WANT insurance to the 10 million NOT citizens to the 14 million that are covered by Medicaid you
come up with 42 million that should NOT have be counted as "uninsured"!
That leaves 4 million of Obama's "phony number" of 46 million Americans as truly wanting and needing insurance!
So when will ANYONE admit Obamacare was PASSED USING "PHONY NUMBERS"????
