The Dems have been quick as of late to spout off about how 20 million people get their insurance through Obamacare and try to ramp up the fear of them losing their access to healthcare when the program is repealed. The number is as fake as a dossier on Russian hookers with enuresis.
First, with sky rocketing premiums and fewer insurers participating in the exchanges more and more people are seeking their policies away from the exchanges. As of this Fall, close to 7 million had avoided the exchanges and given up on a government subsidy.
Then there is the fact that Obamacare has proven to be nothing more than a means to force people onto Medicare which limits care available to them there. That number is 11 million and rising.
So that leaves maybe 2 million who have actually benefited from Obamacare? Any guess how many of those names are fakes too? As of last year upwards of 430,000 applicants had yet to verify their qualifications for the program.

For the number of people needed to prop up the this program and the cost to all of keeping Obamacare in operation, it should be pretty easy to do better with a replacement.
It’s so popular, no one is on it.
KIND OF LIKE THE 4.7% UNEMPLOYMENT??? YEP, I TRUST THEIR NUMBERS, LMAO!!!
I forgot to included the failed Obamacare Cooperatives – They’ve left another million stranded without coverage when they failed.

At these failures on every aspect of Obamacare one might make the argument that we’ve actually gone backwards on the number of people who actually have a policy with a private sector health insurer.
The assholes above holding the signs should be identified and forced to stay on Obamacare forever.

Even though it’s a fake number what sick f*ck thinks it’s a good thing to have 2 million parasites on obamacare?
I talked with a guy the other day about Zer0care. He says he’s going to be damn pissed if Trump takes it away. After a little prying, I found out why.
The poor guy is making $12.50 an hour.
trust the numbers from the msm?
how could you?
they say obama’s approval is above 50%
The ACA is perhaps the biggest legislative disaster ever forced on Americans, which is why I balk at any talk of “replacing” it. You’re still validating massive Government oversight and intrusion into your health care with talk of “replacement.” It was all based on lies. Get rid of it. I don’t want Republican Big Government solutions any more than I want Democrat-Marxists-by-Default Big Government solutions.
I know someone on obaabaa no-care. For $175 a month $7,500 out of pocket before anything pays, $380 for a very small HMO that includes only one hospital, the one in town that almost lost medicare because of raw sewage in the basement – just one example. $580 a month including subsidy for a large HMO three hospitals, $2,500 deductible, $3,000 medication deductible. Without the subsidy the plan is $900 a month. She has chronic medical problems, has been admitted to hospital in last 2 years, other medical considerations. Two years ago $122 monthly bought the $900 plan. sad.
Guys! Come on… My wife & I – who had her tubes tied after our 3rd – now pay for FULL maternity coverage, I call it “Immaculate Conception” coverage, thanks Obama! After being married for 37 years I never had thoughts about becoming a female… but if I do, BAM! It’s covered, thanks Obama! I’m not a big fan of getting addicted to Meth, but if I do… BAM! I’m covered for 30K in treatment, thanks Obama!
Look on the sunny side of life!
just saw a commercial on Fox from the Save Our Healthcare Alliance (whatever Soros org that is) & it’s worse than we thought! … now, they’re claiming 30 MILLION will be w/out insurance!
… pretty soon it will be as much as the ObamaDebt
Same as the “11 million illegals” politicians have been spouting off about for the last 8 years is a fake number.
