Signups for ACA half of what was expected.
This article and others like it report that the signups for “Obamacare”, or the ACA are up over last year but far short, by 50% of what was expected.
Well, another expectation not met by the law that Nancy Pelosi famously said, “Let’s pass it before we read it”, and Johnathon Gruber also said afterwards, “You can’t do it political, you just literally cannot do it. Transparent financing and also transparent spending. I mean, this bill was written in a tortured way to make sure CBO did not score the mandate as taxes. If CBO scored the mandate as taxes the bill dies. Okay? So it’s written to do that.”
Rates are up, not down as “expected”. We don’t get to keep our current insurance if want to, another missed expectation. We don’t get to go to our doctors as expected. We don’t get the prescriptions we had in the past, another missed expectation………….
How about taking responsibility for messing up President Obama, Nancy and Harry! We are a rich country; all should have access to decent health care. We need to figure out a better way!
