Uninsured Not Enrolling
Just 11% were uninsured before the overhaul.
The purpose of ObamaCare, we were told, was to provide millions of uninsured Americans easy access to affordable health coverage. What consumers have found instead are subpar plans that cost more – a side effect that explains this astounding statistic: According to Aetna CEO Mark Bertolini, “Right now we only see that 11% of the population is people that were formerly uninsured are now insured, so we didn’t really eat into the uninsured population.” Put another way, a whopping 89% of enrollees so far already had insurance before the overhaul (don’t forget that a large percentage of signs ups were tossed onto the exchange by their employers). Score one for big government.
