Please... THERE NEVER WAS A NEED for Obamacare...
Obama said "
46 million uninsured" but what constituted these "uninsured"?
- Illegals are not eligible because they are illegal .... 10 million (when I wrote this originally there were 10 million illegals but because BIDEN has urged a "surge to the border"... There are now...11,047,000 illegals!
- 14 million Americans didn't know they were eligible for Medicaid and that again was proven Gruber and his coauthors, using data from the Census Bureau, estimate that Medicaid “produced 63% of the gains [in coverage] that we identified” for 2014. They also found that much of this gain was attributable to the enrollment in Medicaid of people who were eligible for the program under criteria that preceded the ACA’s Medicaid expansion:

So between 10 million illegals and 14 million eligible but didn't KNOW or were not allowed and right there of the
46 million Obama bragged... it is reduced to 22 million...not 46!
FACTS

opulation of USA as of 2019 (date of the below article) was 328,239,523
Natural increase drops below 1 million for the first time in decades due to fewer births and more deaths.
www.census.gov
- --- More than half of the population had employer-sponsored coverage (55.1 percent), or 180,859,977 Americans
- --- followed by Medicaid (17.9 percent), or 58,754,875 Americans
- --- Medicare (17.8 percent), or 58,426,635 Americans
- --- individual market coverage (10.8 percent), or 35,449,868 Americans and
- --- military coverage (3.6 percent). 11,816,623 Americans.... hmmm that adds up to 345,307,978 Americans!
Strange isn't it. Supposedly 46 million uninsured Americans YET when counting the military etc. ZERO uninsured!
Please explain where 46 million uninsured comes from???
And this was the major single statistic Obamacare was passed on.
By the way here is the most recent evaluation of Obamacare...
ObamaCare: 10 years of distress and disappointment
First, then-candidate Barack Obama
said his namesake act would
“cut the cost of a typical family’s premiums by up to $2,500 a year.”
In reality, the opposite has occurred. According to the
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), “premiums have doubled for individual health insurance plans since 2013, the year before many of Obamacare’s regulations and mandates took effect.”
Even more shocking, HHS reports, “Average individual market premiums more than doubled from $2,784 per year in 2013 to $5,712 on Healthcare.gov in 2017—an increase of $2,928 or 105%.” Needless to say, ObamaCare has fallen woefully short in its grand ambition to slice health insurance premiums by $2,500 per year.
President Obama repeatedly assured voters,
“If you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan, period.” After ObamaCare was enacted, millions of Americans were unable to keep their pre-ObamaCare health insurance plan.
According to a
report by The Heritage Foundation, “Obamacare has significantly disrupted the market for those who buy coverage on their own by imposing new coverage and benefit mandates, causing a reported 4.7 million health insurance cancelations of an existing policy in 32 states.”
ObamaCare has failed miserably because it lacks free-market principles and is a one-size-fits all, centrally planned boondoggle.
