Wonder why the Lame Stream Media is not reporting this?

Tribune News Service | Posted on June 3, 2015
WASHINGTON (TNS) — Nationwide enrollment in health plans provided through the Affordable Care Act slipped to 10.2 million in March as consumers dropped coverage or failed to pay premiums on policies they selected, the Obama administration announced Tuesday.

That is down from 11.7 million sign-ups recorded in February when the 2015 enrollment period closed.

The new data also underscored how many consumers rely on federal insurance subsidies made available by the law. About 85 percent of 2015 enrollees are getting assistance to buy coverage on the marketplaces.

Consumers making less than four times the federal poverty level — or about $97,000 for a family of four — qualify for subsidies.

How long that assistance will remain available is unclear, however. The Supreme Court is expected to rule this month in a challenge that claims the law prohibits these subsidies in states that are not operating their own insurance marketplaces through the health law.

The legal challenge before the Supreme Court may affect as many as 7.5 million consumers in 37 states.

There is also growing evidence that uncertainty over the case may be pushing up insurance premiums, as insurers prepare for major disruptions that would be caused by the elimination of subsidies.

I think it is very obvious that Obama Care was designed to never work. It is obvious from the fact that it is imperative that ALL the young people, -- who feel invinsible and like they don't need health insurance, must join up and pay up in order for Obama care work. The idea is for it to fail in order to be turned into a one payer system; that is a total government system with no insurance companies involved.

You nailed it, Steve! The POS Obamacare law was only the move to get the camel's nose under the wall of the tent. It is only a matter of time until the whole camel is in the tent, ... the camel is the single payer federal healthcare system.

It was a loser to start with. That is why no Republicans voted for that abortion of an Act. I feel sorry for all those dumbass libertards who thought that was going to solve all their health insurance problems. Drank too much of the Obummer koolade and now watch what will happen when they start getting hit in the pocket book. The liberal media are slowly starting to take notice but not reporting much. :hunf: :XD: :XD:

Obamacare's final tally for this year, over 10 Million purchased health care coverage through the ACA-surpassing the goal of 9.1 million.

We love the ACA but we will definately love single payer more. People ask why their insurance costs more now. They still think the ACA is insurance. Why can't they understand it is not insurance but a group of regulations designed to keep insurance companies from duping us out of our money. It's going to cost more for them to sell us something they cannot cancel when we need it! The new regulations state that they can only keep a certain percent of our premium as profit, so...hmmm, wonder why they are making us pay more??? I can promise you they aren't going to give up their lear jet or one of their summer homes, so they charge us more for the policy. When people realize there is no bigger predatory industry than health insurance, they will happily support a single payer system.

I was on obama care when I semi retired found a really nice medical insurance for 237.00 a month . when I went to make my pymt this Jan they told me my pymt was 475.00 a month because of a insurance increase.I had to go back to work full time to get their insurance. I just found an artical where insurances want another increase in 2016 approved . So who do they think can afford this. who approves this ?

We will never like government run healthcare. It will always be more expensive, and less efficient, than the competitive free market.

There is one bigger predatory industry than health insurance. It is the bloated bureaucratic federal government.

Proudemocrat Loc: To your left.

We will never get prices down as long as everyone keeps blaming obama instead of the insurance companies. Some of their executives make millions a week. They are raping our sick and disabled. Obama is trying to make them stop and you just want to blame him. Get a brain!

Proud D. The vast majority of people on OC pay nothing, or almost nothing, IE (Medicaid). Remove them and only a few million are on the plan. Also the 11 million or so that they state, includes those who re-joined from last year. So they have been counted twice. Just like when they don't count the people who had their unemployment run out, and drop off the unemployed list. Funny how that happens? And the huge rate increases are do to the fact the insurance companies are losing $. They are only allowed to make 20% profit at most. And the companies that lose $, get re-reimbursed from that 20% the other companies (may), have made. You are a cool aid drinking fool. Total disgrace!

There are enough intelligent people who are not fooled by your rantings that we will move to a single payor system regardless...do what you want it won't matter.
