President Obama came out with the fantastic news on the ACA and, and what he referred to as ObamaCare.
7.1 million people have enrolled.
WaHoooooooo
That is a huge number and we should be proud. (Sarcasm is hard to read.)
Note...These are REAL numbers from the NCPPR (National Center for Public Policy Research)
2/3 (4.7 million) already had insurance and just switched over to a new plan under the ACA.
1/3 (2.4 million) new enrollees. (People that didn't have insurance before.)
Of that 1/3 of new enrollees few than 1/2 of them have not paid their premiums.
Those are real numbers and it totals 7.1 million.
If you subtract those that had insurance already and those that have not paid their premiums the total of people that didn't have insurance before the deadline that are NOW insured is...
Math time!
7.1 million enrolled per President Obama
- 4.7 million previously insured (just switched over)
= only 2.4 million new enrollees (people who didn't have coverage before)
- 1.2 million of new enrollees have not paid their premiums
= 1.2 million people that were not insured before are now insured.
ObamaCare/ACA has actually only signed up 1.2 million people.
Now...I''ll add some more numbers because not to would be unkind and make this an untruth...
Changes to Medicare, Medicaid and allowing youth up to the age of 26 to be on their parents plan within this tax law we can add more numbers...but can we really?
I will anyway with the caveat that at 18 you can join the military and die for The United States Of America. You can also vote...both of those are not for the light hearted.
Responsibility wise you are technically an adult at age 18.
I think it's insulting to those in their early twenties, that written into this law, the Obama administration doesn't think they are responsible to manage their money but can give their life.
4.5 million people were able to enroll in Medicare because of changes in eligibility.
3.1 million 'Youth' (that is hard for me to type) now covered under their parents plan.
More math time!
1.2 million new enrollees.
+ 4.5 million new medicare enrollees
+3.5 million 'youths' covered under parents
= 9.2 million
Now a little wrench thrown in not to spin but for a little slap in the face...
- 6, 286,357 million people that got kicked off their plans because of ObamaCare/ACA
= 2,913,643
Note...we can spin this any way you want, Obama sure did.
This law has been changed 38 times so far and cost the American people billions of dollars so far...
I think the cost of this will be later on another blog.
Pretending To Be Reasonable

Voting- The ACA
We all have reasons we vote for whom we vote...
We support life
We support choice
We support free stuff
We support workers rights
I could go on but as I said above we all have our reasons.
...but are your reasons reasonable or are you fooling yourself to think they are reasonable?
I'd like to take on those that support/ed the Affordable Care Act.
Firstly our Insurance Industry was crooked a disaster and often unfair. It needed to be overhauled for sure.
The ACA had(s) a really great part to it...something I support with my whole heart.
Those with preexisting conditions can not be turned down.
Now to be reasonable...with a clip for you to watch so maybe you will understand.
So...it comes down to ..."..you have to pass it to know what's in it..."
This is/was SERIOUS legislation that will change our nation...and "...you have to pass it to read it..."?!
Maybe I'm just pretending to be reasonable here but can you support (vote for) someone who voted for legislation..any legislation.
Would you like to look up your own incumbents and see how they voted? If they voted 'yes' I implore you to spread the word and perhaps say, 'maybe your just pretending to be reasonable' as to why they should not be voted in to office EVER again.

This isn't ablaut Republican vs Democrat although when you look at the names and yeas and nays it might look like it.The 2014 midterm election is coming up this November. The LAW that was passed has been changed (most likely illegally by President Obama and is going to court again).
The delays that the President has implemented are both after the the 2014 midterm elections and the 2016 elections.
Maybe I'm just pretending to be reasonable, but if you think your own elected official (if they voted 'yea') with out reading this legislation making it LAW will not effect you personally I think you should start reading.
Learn the numbers ...
29
49
..and what they mean.
Ask yourself why all the sudden the Unions in all their might are 'frustrated' with the direction of the ACA.
This is not a problem with the left, the right, the independent....
This is an AMERICAN problem.
