Obamacare may have already brought the biggest increase in health coverage in this state (WA) in 50 years.
The Medicaid program in the state has grown 25 percent since October, from 1.2?million to 1.5?million.
“We didn’t expect an expansion anywhere near that magnitude,” said Nathan Johnson, policy director at the state health authority. “It’s been a good surprise. A lot of these folks have gone their entire lives without medical coverage.”
The private individual insurance market has also grown, by 19 percent, from 272,000 plans last October to 325,000 today. These figures include plans sold on the state exchange and directly by companies.
Kenny,
You promised more health care. I don't care how many have coverage, where is the increase in colonoscopies, tonsillectomies, bypass surgeries, MRIs, surgeries, office visits, ANYTHING.
Show me where there is an increase in health care provided.
PLEASE |
