I have YET for anyone to refute the FACT there have NEVER BEEN 50 million people who wanted insurance but couldn't get and therefore counted as 50 million "UNINSURED".
When the Census says 10 million are NOT citizens that leaves 40 million.
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 Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) under current rules
So that means 14 million that said they were UNINSURED really were but didn't know it!
And so during the ensuing 3 years.
Since June 2007, just before the start of the Recession, an additional 10 million people have enrolled in Medicaid programs across the country, over half of whom were children.

That means of the 40 million (after deducting non-citizens) 14 million ERRONEOUSLY counted as "UNINSURED" had coverage..didn't know it!
That leaves 26 million to be accounted for as "UNINSURED".
EVERYONE seems to forget that this is a FREE country. NO one is forced to buy insurance.. YET!!!
18 million people who are "UNINSURED" are 34 and make over $50,000 and spend out of pocket $1,000 a year for health services.
They didn't want their more expensive employers' insurance!
So why are they suppose to BUY if they don't WANT or NEED?
Subtract 18 million from 26 million leaves 8 million that truly want and need insurance!
So Obama's BIG BIG LIE in August 21, 2009 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
That number was repeated by MSM and EVERYONE who doesn't seem able to do simple MATH and understand that 24 million people weren't UNINSURED
and 18 million COULD BE BUT didn't want to buy as they paid their health expenses out of their own pocket!
Idiots of the world who didn't seem able to do simple math..just barely passed Obamacare by 6 votes!
Think if any of those that voted YES had understood this simple math they may not have voted but at least they would KNOW THE FRAUD being done to get their vote! FRAUD in the biggest way...
Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels :
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.
The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie.
It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie,
and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
