Health Care: One good thing about ObamaCare is that it finally laid bare the bogus claims Democrats have been making about the uninsured. Now can we get on with real reforms that will really help those in need?
According to the Congressional Budget Office, ObamaCare was supposed to make a major dent in the uninsured population in its first year — cutting its ranks by 13 million.
The CBO figured that of the 6 million it expected to sign up through an ObamaCare exchange and the 8 million added to Medicaid, 86% would have previously been uninsured.
The prediction looks to be wildly off the mark.
Of those who bought ObamaCare-approved insurance, just 27% came from the ranks of the uninsured, according to a February survey by McKinsey & Co. In the months leading up to February, that figure was just 11%.
also found that about [b]half of the previously uninsured still hadn't paid their first ObamaCare premium. Many of them could wind up back in the uninsured pool.
The truth is that Democrats had been misleading the country about the uninsured for decades, mischaracterizing who they were, exaggerating their plight, and grossly inflating their numbers.
ObamaCare is now exposing this fraud for all to see.
Of the 46 million who supposedly lacked insurance, for example, more than 40% were either eligible for Medicaid, enrolled in Medicaid, or weren't U.S. citizens.( this is why he is fighting for amnesty so hard) ObamaCare helps none of these groups.

Just the facts people. give it up and face reality. obamacare has failed. the only parts working are the cuts to healthcare providers.
Now states who expanded Medicaid will go broke when the bill comes due. ins premiums have doubled and soon to triple, and the stress to healthcare systems is showing.
this law was supposed to insure the uninsured. or have you forgotten that part?
