ObamaCare Now Working Among Lower, Healthy Age Groups!

[mascale]

In opposition to the Boehner, Cantor, McConnell, Issa, Ryan, Paul, Paul, et. al., brand: Young age groups, now, in the United States: Are supportive of doctors being paid, and support having medical services having incomes from medical insurers. Approaching half the newly interested in ACA are in the younger, healthier, age groups of the risk pool.

Obamacare's enrollment looks healthy, with room to grow: survey

Los Angeles Times even reports, January 9, that the Republicans may try to invent an anti-poverty program, for the mid-terms. There is now less interest in trying to find support in the elections from opposition to ACA. Senator Marco Rubio gave an anti-poverty speech, the day after voting against unemployment benefits, for example(?)!

Anyone can see where all this success of ACA is leading, if not too much leadership being shown at GOP.

(Many now ready in New Jersey: To return Lands of Many Nations back to peoples, helping to avoid more traffic jams. The people need to know that that their Governor is not a crook(?). . .or a bully. . .or over. . . .There's a lot that the people don't seem to need to know!)

How many have enrolled?

 

[Politico]

No it's not.

I get a real kick out of these people that praise enrollment numbers on a mandated program.

Republicans on the side of doctors and medical services, never getting paid through ACA, will likely not do well in the next elections. The specific GOP record is to find any way to not fund ACA.

In the alternative, just so far--in the link there are these:

"As of Jan. 1, about 2.1 million people had selected a private insurance plan sold on either the federally run marketplace, HealthCare.gov, or on of the 15 such exchanges operated by individual states, according to federal officials. Almost 4 million people by Jan. 1 had been determined eligible for Medicaid via those exchanges."

Republicans and Democrats alike were initially measuring success, one month at a time. Month one would not have been said successful. So months two and three are easily said successful. The early enrollments target of 7.0 mil. covered in the private market looks now more easily in reach.

Senator Rubio is now on record, opposed to funding unemployment benefits. Mostly, Red States governors are on record, opposed to doctors getting paid in the public sector, eligibility, market. Liberals, in contrast, were inclined to view the whole thing as a giant public sector market. Now both the private and the public sector markets can be said to have been expanded.

The LA times is very pro Obamacare--and they have a history of distortion.

The GOP shift to other agenda, away from opposing ObamaCare, is about the intent of GOP to actually seek an issue that may resonant in the Midterms, 2014. Opposing Obamacare is likely being found a non-starter in their polls.

The progress now being made by the actual ACA is the subject of a study found on CNBC, a business-friendly network. What is being found is a likely first cost-control of health care costs ever in the United States. The mandatory risk-pool created under ACA is creating a lower-risk insurance group, like intended. Younger people with lower likely costs are becoming slowly interested in ACA. Then then could become a self-fulfilling prophecy-like, downward spiral of health care costs.

So there is the advantage of economic redistribution in just one program. Volume sales are being created among a less costly popopulation. That is new.
____________________________________________

The survey found that about 1 in 4 adults visited an Obamacare exchange by the end of December. And more significantly, the vast majority of those who visited and are potentially eligible for coverage there—a total of 77 percent of those surveyed—reported being in either excellent, very good or good health, according to a statistical snapshot taken by the Commonwealth Fund.

And they were not disproportionately old as has been the case in the limited demographic data released by the Obamacare health exchanges to date.

In fact, 41 percent of the exchange visitors were 19- to 34-years-old, tracking their share of the general population of people eligible for coverage via the exchanges in either private plans or Medicaid, according to the Commonwealth Fund.

If those trends in health status and age hold up among the people who actually enrolled—and who will ultimately enroll—it increases the likelihood that insurers will not have to raise premium prices excessively next year to compensate for a bad risk pool that comes from having too many sick and old people signed up.

(Many come into pool like Billy The Kid: Hero on Lands of Many Nations, warrior Ace of his own time! "Notch 'em if you got 'em!" is likely supported for youth gang behavior, even at NRA(?)! Anyone sees a cost-saving methodology, coming coming from a true free market eschange. "An eye for an eye, A Tooth for A Tooth," clearly comes from a true Free Market exchange, where "Peace through Strength" wins out--with guns! Many White Eyes supported Single Payer, instead!)
