Oops, despite all the Obamacare hoopla the uninsured remain uninsured How do you spell "fail?" Because I spell it O-b-a-m-a-c-a-r-e. Only 10% of the uninsured, the people this law was purportedly going to help the most, have signed up to purchase health insurance. The other 90% are still uninsured. And they intend to remain uninsured. ObamaCare appears to be making little progress in signing up uninsured Americans, one of the law's primary goals, according to two new surveys. Only one in 10 uninsured people who qualify for private plans through the new health insurance marketplaces enrolled as of last month, according to a survey by the consulting firm McKinsey & Co., The Washington Post reported on Thursday. The McKinsey survey found that only 27 percent of people who have selected a plan on the exchanges described themselves as having previously been without insurance. That percentage is up from 11 percent a month earlier, the report said. According to McKinsey, the most common reason for not signing up for insurance cited by both previously insured and previously uninsured survey respondents was the perceived challenges in being able to afford coverage. "Affordable" Care Act my ass. Obamacare made everything more expensive. And the people who couldn't afford health insurance before it was foisted on us still can't afford health insurance. Curiously, the White House isn't interested in knowing anything about that. Gary Cohen, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services official who oversaw the insurance marketplaces through their troubled rollout, told an insurance industry conference on Thursday that the administration doesn't know how many uninsured Americans are signing up. "That's not a data point that we are really collecting in any sort of systematic way," Cohen told attendees when asked how many of the enrollees were previously uninsured, according to The National Journal. They don't know. And they don't care. Obamacare isn't doing what it was designed to do. Unless it was designed to destroy the private health insurance marketplace and ultimately replace it with single-payer socialized medicine. Which, not to put too fine a point on it, is precisely what Obamacare architect Ezekiel Emanuel gleefully predicts it will do. Obama lied. Your health insurance died. http://wyblog.us/blog/obamacare/uninsured-are-still-uninsured-oops.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
