6.2 million Americans have already lost their health insurance because of ObamaCARE. The Obama regime claims 2 million have signed up for ObamaCARE. That would leave a net of 4.2 million Americans without health care coverage right? Wrong. According to the latest Fox News/AP report, anywhere between 65-85% of ObamaCARE enrollees already had health care. The vast majority of ObamaCARE enrollees didn’t lose their health care coverage before they signed up, they were just tricked into signing up thinking it was free health care.
The majority of the more than 2 million Americans who signed up for health insurance under ObamaCare through the end of December were already enrolled in employer-sponsored plans or had previously bought their own coverage, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday.
Early data from insurers, brokers and consultants suggest that the marketplaces are popular with consumers who were previously covered elsewhere, raising questions about a law intended to expand coverage to millions of healthy, uninsured Americans to help offset costs.
A survey by management consulting firm McKinsey & Co. found that only 11 percent of consumers who purchased new coverage under ObamaCare were previously uninsured. The survey was based on a sampling of 4,563 consumers between November and January, according to The Wall Street Journal.
HealthMarkets Inc., an insurance agency that signed up about 7,500 people in exchange plans, reported that 65 of its enrollees had prior coverage, the report said. Fifteen percent of enrollees had their individual plans canceled, and 40 percent switched over from previous individual plans.
