Lets assume that all 7 million that have signed up have also paid. The Gov numbers of those that did not previously have insurance is about 3 million. The whole rationale for the bill was to insure the 20 0r so million who did not have insurance would now have coverage. It seems to me that 3 instead of 20 is not anything to brag about, Furthermore the 3 million newly insured are mostly medicaid and subsidized also nothing to brag about. In addition 3 million is less than 1% of the population. Do you think that the bill would have been passed if they knew that the entire health care system would be changed for 1%. I wonder how many democrats up for re-election will run under the banner----I VOTED FOR OBAMACARE

Did you expect ALL of those people to sign up Day 1?

Maybe, but it sound kind of impractical......problems with the web site notwithstanding.

I find it interesting that with ALL that ACA is about, you can only focus on anything that's negative. You barely, if at all, acknowledge that many people are paying the premium AND their rates have decreased.

Yes, I know he said you could keep your insurance if you liked it.
That's so last year as an argument.


any time anyone starts out with a lie, Makes me wonder what else they are lying about.

No but it's now 4 months. And still only 1% of the population now have insurance that did not have it previously. We were led to believe that 20 million would be so greatful that they would now have access to quality care that they would be signing us en-masse! Apparently they ain't showing up. I don't think that with almost 1 billion in advertisement is a roaring success.

Actually he didn't start out with that, but you keep believing what you want and being negative, and let us know how that's working for you.

Affordable Care Act enrollment

I heard on the news that Obama was touting that they had signed up something like 7 million people in Obamacare. Now that is signed up not necessarily that have paid any premiums. Considering the population of the US is about 310 million that means that 2.25% of the population has been enrolled during the open enrollment period if my math is correct. Can anyone explain to me why that should be something to crow about?


Your denial and condemnation of this law (ACA) is not only getting boring but your actions are akin to a childish fit. Please, read up on it, learn what it is intended to do and how it is designed to work. If you had been around in August of 1935 you would have reacted the same way to Social Security and in April of 1965 Medicare would have been your point of contention.
Just accept it, like any new program it will get better as time passes. There is no way a program with the benefits that ACA brings to the public can go through a start up period without problems. They will be worked out in time.

Certainly you don't object to the elderly or families experiencing extreme medical problems having the opportunity to get medical assistance. If you have a family you naturally want the best for them. Don't deny this opportunity to others, some for the first time in their lives.

Man up, accept it and get on with your life.

It isn't. I think it's bull. So far, everyone that I've talked to that has enrolled pays about the same as before but some of their prescription drugs cost more now.


Jeep, you know there is life outside of California. Perhaps you need to change your circle of acquaintances. Your surrounding yourself with negative attitudes, so naturally yours will be the same way.

Huey, who cares whether they paid their premiums, it's a bill, like any other bill. For god's sakes, you may hate this president, but the ACA is a law. It had a horrendous roll out but ppl like health insurance. Get over it, move on...

dljen the AHC stands for Assault Helicopter Company and is just a typo which considering huey driver's background is easily understandable. The ACA is a sad excuse for governance.

Given a couple years I think you'll see who really lost. The American public. Wait until your premiums double in a few years. Until they start paying claims for all the serious pre-x's they have no idea how this is going to play out.


Yes driver and the sky is falling!

Affordable Care Act not so affordable. My wife's medical insurance was canceled and what she was able to obtain costs about 1/3 more with higher deductibles.

Last week while at the dentist I asked my dental hygienist if the Affordable Care Act effected their business? She replied no, but her personal medical insurance policy was canceled and increased cost with the new policy was too high. She said it did cause her and her boy friend to get married so they could afford a policy that still cost lots more than their original policies, with much higher deductibles.

Everyone I know has had the same experience, higher cost with higher deductibles. I am thankful that my medical insurance is paid for through my retirement, and medicare.

Donna, you are still trying to out lie that lying president. You are really a full fledged member of the 'Bama Brown Shirt Brigade'. Your distortion of reality must be from watching your extreme left-wing idols on MSNBC. Do some real research on how many of the 7 million figure that didn't have insurance vs those that lost their insurance because of Obama. Only about a half had no insurance and we still don't know if they even paid a deposit or payment on same. Sebelious was living proof that this president doesn't know what he was and is doing about most things he talks about. Look at all the incompetent people he has installed in his cabinet. Corruption and racism seem be to their best quality!!!!!

You mention racism, why didn't you take the job he offered you as you would fit right in.

The law was not designed by republican conservatives and no matter how long this lie gets repeated it doesnt make it true, the democrats own this one all the way, they wrote they passed it they are stuck with it.
and we will see what the next election holds, The supreme court ruled voter ID is not unconstitutional so that paves the way for more voter id laws to prevent a lot of fraud, there goes a bunch of democrat votes,
we also are seeing not a whole lot of democrats inviting obama along the campaign trail, and a lot of them are trying to avoid the whole subject of obamacare, except for maybe pelosi who is so senile its getting pretty pathetic.
