WASHINGTON (AP) - Nearly a million people signed up for health insurance under President Barack Obama's law even after the official enrollment season ended, helping push the share of uninsured Americans below 10 percent and underscoring how hard it could be for Republicans to dismantle the program. The Health and Human Services Department said Thursday that 943,934 new customers have signed up since open enrollment ended on Feb. 22, benefiting from "special enrollment periods" keyed to life changes and other circumstances.
Editor's notes: Obama takes victory lap because uninsured rate is lowest in years . . . thanks to ObamaCare. Question: Does Obama not remember that those signing up for Central Planning insurance have been forced to do so . . . . it is a law under penalty of fines and jail time. How is that cause for celebration?
Thanks, Obamacare: America's Uninsured Rate Is Below 10% For First Time Ever

True only because you go to jail if you are not enrolled. A major hardship young, healthy adults. More out-of-pocket expense that before including double and triple previous deductables and healthcare plans that are nowhere near the total healthcare packages of before . . . . a 40% monthly assessment on all comprehensive plans and fines that went from 95 buck in year one to 595 in year two. Just wait until next year . . . . Obamacare has never been more popular than not . . . . ever and the enrollment period is just around the corner . . . . fines and pernalties after April 15.
