The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has just released figures indicating that, of those people who signed up for Obamacare in the latest enrollment period, 87 percent will receive financial assistance to lower their monthly premiums.
This figure has jumped from 80 percent during the previous open enrollment period. The agency did not furnish details regarding how much new enrollees would receive or how much it will cost taxpayers in the long run.
From the HHS report:
[M]ore than 4 million people in both the state and federal Marketplaces signed up for the first time or reenrolled in coverage for 2015 during the first month of open enrollment. That includes more than 3.4 million people who selected a plan in the 37 states that are using the HealthCare.gov platform for 2015, and more than 600,000 consumers who selected plans in the 14 states that are operating their own Marketplace platform for 2015.
The Obama Administration has been doing its best to convince Americans that the Affordable Care Act has been a success. Supporters of Obamacare will certainly try to get all the mileage they can out of the recent announcement regarding the drop in the uninsured rate, but there’s a lot more to the story.
Let’s not forget how the administration attempted to add 380,000 dental-plan subscribers that should not have been counted to the list of insured, while trying to hide the amount of people who lost their coverage because of Obamacare.
