Remember? Their entire selling point in the lead up to passing the law was insuring the supposed 30 to 40 million uninsured. The point of this whole thing was to provide insurance for those who were previously uninsured! To make sure everyone had insurance. Well, how many of those who even signed up were previously uninsured??
And the answer to that question is.............. 1.8%.
858,000 uninsured got coverage. The administration claims 46.7 million were uninsured. Congratulations, after one trillion in expenses, 6.2 million lose coverage, $5 billion spent on promotion, one sixth of the economy turned on its head, 50 new exchanges and 189 new boards after four years, 98.2% of the uninsured remain uninsured.
The President took a victory lap for this?
And dividing the $1.5 trillion by 858,000 to show that every previously uninsured person now insured cost $1.75 million. A monument of government waste.
In additon, they spent 600 million on a website and 52 million in advertising. they could have givng each one of those 7.1 million people they claim signed up, $75,000 each.
And we now, all know, this was never about getting people without health insurance, health insurance. That was just another LIE coming from obumbler and the democrats to cram this down our throat. And the proof is that is most of the UNINSURED are still UNINSURED. CBO says that even after all is said and done over 30 million people will remain UNINSURED, which is most of them. This folks was about a massive Socialistic Government takeover of the single biggest area of the economy, and the one that gives the Government/Obama, the most control over us. If Obama and the Democrats have total control over our ability to get life saving healthcare for ourselves and our families, then they control our lives almost completely. With that power they can buy votes by the millions and punish those just by changing who gets what and who pays. Its a massive Power grab by Obama and the democrats. Massive!
