1.6m drop outs from Obamacare

About 1.6M drop-outs from health law coverage this year

WASHINGTON (AP) — About 1.6 million people who signed up for coverage this year under President Barack Obama's health care law dropped out by the end of March, according to administration figures released late Thursday.

The report from the Health and Human Services department said some 11.1 million people were still signed up. But that's a drop of nearly 13 percent from the 12.7 million who initially enrolled for subsidized private coverage this year. Those dropouts failed to seal the deal by paying their premiums.

The pattern of attrition is not new, and has been seen each year since customers began receiving health law coverage in 2014. However, this year the administration had been trying to do a better job of weeding out problem applications while sign-up season was still underway.

Take always?

Enrollment lower, patients sucker than expected, 13 out of 23 non profit co ops folded AND 2017 premiums expected to rise.

So, basically Obama care still sucks.

It's imploding upon itself....as we said it would

Obamacare was designed to fail to pave the way for a single payer system

Single payer was the only way to go, that's how it works where it works well. But this plan was hatched at the Heritage Foundation and then they let the insurance and pharma industrialists in the room. So of course it's not what it should have been. And the rabid zealots who hate joining the civilized world rejoice in their 3rd rate healthcare system, the most expensive on the planet with fairly shitty heathcare outcomes relative to other advanced nations.

If you mean "takeaways," just one, really. From your own article (the second thread on the topic in as many days, BTW): People didn't pay their premiums.

They'd obviously never had to make the adult decision of choosing their own health insurance plan before, and got suckered by people like you chanting "free stuff, free stuff!!11!"

Stupid is as stupid does. Next year they'll know better.

I commend you on your precise blabbing of left wing talking points.

Did you read them after someone wiped their butt with them or were they this crappy to start ?

A smart person would want to know one way or the other. There's this amazing thing called Google. You should try it.

It was one person at Heritage and it was a counter to Hillarycare.

That is what makes the lie so commical.
