The large media focus in the first Obamacare enrollment period has been on whether the administration would hit CBO targets for exchange enrollment. The CBO has said it expects 6 million people to enroll through exchanges in 2014 - more than 6 million have signed up,so that target looks in reach if enough people pay their premiums.
But about one-third of those exchange signups were previously uninsured people,according to the report findings. It also found about 4.5 million adults had newly enrolled in Medicaid;9 million people,most who were previously insured,have signed up for individual plans off the exchanges;and fewer than 1 million people who had their coverage cancelled remain uninsured.
so glad we could provide tax payer freebies to all those previously insured folks. that should buy a few votes
