"32 million more people will have health coverage thanks to ObamaCare by 2016 :?
So where are these 32 million of 46? million uninsured???
253.5 million or 85% of Americans have health insurance
In 2007, the Census Bureau reported that 253.4 million people -- about 85 percent of the total population -- did have health insurance.
So let's assume there ARE supposedly 50 million uninsured.
According to Census Bureau data, of the estimated 46 million "Americans" without health insurance, more than 10 million are non-U.S. citizens.
If 10 million "uninsured" are NOT citizens that
leaves 36 million!
14 million "uninsured" already covered by Existing Government Health Care Plans Not Being Used
A 2003 Blue Cross/Blue Shield Association study concluded that, "More than 14 million uninsured Americans are already eligible for health insurance through Medicaid and State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).
So after subtracting 10 million "non-citizens and 14 million Already covered that leaves...
22 million supposedly truly uninsured"
Some Just Don't Want Insurance
Many young workers, whose employers do offer it, simply do not consider health insurance. According to the Census Bureau,
18.3 million of the uninsured are under age 34.
The Affordability Factor
In 2007 the Census Bureau reported that more than 14 million people without health insurance earned annual incomes of at least $50,000, with 7.2 million of them making over $75,000.
So assuming a minimum of 7.2 million can afford OR are under 34 and don't want insurance and subtracting 7.2 million from 22 million supposedly uninsured that leaves 15.8 million supposedly "uninsured"!
So where are the "32 million supposedly now covered" under Obamacare?
I mean taking the Census that 15% of 312 million or 46 million is correct
and subtracting 10 million not citizens,
14 million already covered but don't know it and
7.2 million that can afford but don't want it.. that leaves
15.8 million!
Where are the 32 million???
