Obamacare Signups For Private Plans Surpass 3 Million

Posted: 01/24/2014 12:05 pm EST

WASHINGTON -- Hundreds of thousands of people have chosen private health coverage under Obamacare so far in 2014, continuing the accelerated pace of enrollments from the end of last year.
The Obama administration said Friday that more than 3 million people have now signed up for private plans through the federal and state health insurance exchanges, including more than 800,000 in January.
"We are encouraged that millions of people have been enrolled in Marketplace or Medicaid coverage since October 1, and will work to give millions more Americans the peace of mind that comes with health security in the months ahead," Marilyn Tavenner, the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said in a statement.
The numbers are "as of this week," according to an administration official, which puts Obamacare on pace to have more than 1 million people pick a plan this month. Added to the approximately 2.2 million people who signed up for coverage between October and the end of December, Obamacare enrollments are expected to total more than 3.23 million at the end of January.
The numbers are reassuring for supporters of the Affordable Care Act, who were worried that the pace of sign-ups for private plans would slow in January and February, before picking up again as the March 31 enrollment deadline for 2014 coverage approached. But they are still shy of initial projections from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which originally expected 4.4 million people to sign up for a plan by the end of January. Moreover, the administration has not provided data on how many of the people who have signed up for plans through the exchanges have actually made a payment, which is required to ensure coverage.
Administration officials have argued that people who go through the process of picking and choosing a plan aren't likely to turn around and drop the endeavor when it comes time to pay. As for failing to meet CMS's enrollment projections, they noted the abject failures of the Obamacare website in October, the first month of open enrollment, forced delays in advertising campaigns touting the exchanges and made it hard to meet the desired pace of enrollments.
In addition to the private plans, a flood of people have enrolled in Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. Though the number of people who had signed up for that coverage during January was not immediately available, the Department of Health and Human Services has said that more than 6.3 million individuals were determined eligible to enroll in Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Plan between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31. Those numbers include people who were eligible under previous law, as well as individuals who simply renewed their Medicaid coverage.

 

So tell me how many of those enrollees are paying members!

 

Yes, I'd also like to know how many of those are paying. Can you provide us with a number, Joe?

 

If you want to search for the dark cloud in the silver lining, be my guest. If you would like my help doing it, first suck in a great big mouth full of air and wait until I get back with that answer....

Ready? Go!

 

Hey, YOU are the one touting the numbers. All I'm asking is for you to tell us how many are paying. Has the administration released those numbers? Do you know what they are? If so, please tell us. If you don't know, well, that's OK too. Ignorance is acceptable; stupidity is not.

 

Yes, I get that, but are you holding your breath?

 

Just curious, but the main argument BO made in his attempts to sell Obamacare was the fact that there were some 17 million folks desperate for healthcare. If that was remotely accurate why celebrate 3 million sign-ups?

 

Because, as the article said, another 6 million plus have access to health care through Medicaid now.

 

Even assuming that the 3,000,000 actually become paying insured, over 6,000,000 have lost the insurance and a further 120,000,000+ scheduled to lose their insurance this year when the business mandate kicks in. That should be interesting especially considering that the back end Obamacare has not even been written yet and the web tzar has just quit.

 

What I want to know is... Are all those millions of people going to show up at my clinic? I know they are. I'm going to go in for my physical and there they are, all 6 million of them in line ahead of me. Thanks Obama!

 

No it does not. is says "6.3 million individuals were determined eligible to enroll in Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Plan between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31. Those numbers include people who were eligible under previous law, as well as individuals who simply renewed their Medicaid coverage." Simply renewing their coverage adds nothing to the rolls. And the encompasses the vast majority of those 6,300,000

 

But why didn't we see 17 million busting the doors down to sign up and millions more taking advantage of those lower premiums that were promised?

I did not and have not lost anything. Facts present a problem for you?

 

Did you notice he stopped offering facts & numbers?

 

The only "facts" he has presented were in post #1. The best he has done since were misinterpretations of his original post unless you count insults as meaningful.
