The original post:
Politico gives us the following excerpt, here:
"Across the country, more than 618,000 people selected a plan in the third week of sign-ups, bringing the total to 1.4 million. Of that total, roughly 720,000 were people renewing coverage.
If the re-enrollment pace continues — and people do tend to stick with their health insurer from year to year — it’s likely that several million will opt for inertia and get auto-enrolled for their 2015 coverage. As of mid-October, 6.7 million people were enrolled, and experts estimate that two-thirds were through HealthCare.gov and one-third through state exchanges. Caroline Pearson, a vice president with Avalere Health, said the active renewal rates since open enrollment started have been higher than expected, but she still expects most will punt to automatic renewal.
Editor's notes: Understand that original claims (by the Obama misfits) were for 13 million policies affecting some 16 million folks, by the end of this enrollment period. Today, we learn that the number is closer to 6.7 million policy holders (and their families) plus 700,000 for a total of 7.4 million enrolled policies holders, 4 million of whom lost their original policies and are not new to the insurance industry. In the end, there remains some 40 million uninsured Americans. Percentage wise, the only people who sign up for the policies are those getting subsidies (87% of enrollees).
As "the gift that keeps on giving" (from a GOP point of view), the Employer/Union mandate has not come into effect. It was postponed, for two years, so that the new tax law (that is what ObamaCare actually is) will become so systemic, that when the beatle-mush hits the fan, and the unions start with their self-centered whining, the legislation cannot be repealed.
My question is this: When will our side stop fighting fair, and start playing hardball with the enemy within? Of course, I assume there are two sides to this matter, in spite of the evidence that I might be mistaken in that assumption. Maybe in this failed assumption, is my answer. You think???
At any rate, at the end of the day, a couple of years from now (before 2016?), we will see that this tax/insurance reform law, had little to do with health care; that it was not universal; that it did not reduce costs; that it destroyed the typical doctor/patient basis for a robust health care system, and that the lies told to us were criminal, both in terms of content and purpose.
