Revised Estimates of Number of Uninsured


Proud Tiger

Recommended Posts

The WSJ has an editorial noting that the Census Bureau has revised downward the number of uninsured (for subscribers only so can't link the whole article). The Bureau say 2009 and 2010 estimates were greatly exaggerated. Of course these were the estimates used by the Dems to help pass Obamacare. Just more dishonesty by this administration. Now the WH is directing the Bureau to change the questions. The Census Bureau has long been a non-political entity but now the WH will change that too. The WH's credibility sinks lower each day.

"Their credibility sinks lower each day." Whose credibility are you speaking of? ;) PS If I'm not mistaken the Obama administration tried some shenanigans with the census bureau early in their reign didn't they?

The WH is making a valiant effort to diminish America's exceptionalism. How can they propose a law based on lies, ram it through with a strictly partisan vote using a parliamentary trick, then change all the models they used to pass the law so that apples to apples comparisons cannot be made honestly?

"The fact that one party is willing to use its majority status to cram a health care bill down the throats of the minority party and the American people, and then refuses to acknowledge the obvious illegitimacy of a bill largely passed on the basis of false information provides a barometer on the lack of importance placed on virtue in our society today. How can such a society in any way claim to be good?"

Obamacare is an ultimate compromise between big private health insurance companies, progressive groups that want national health insurance (Canadian style single payer) and progressive groups that really want national socialized medicine (British style single provider)

The health insurance companies were all for this thinking this was their last chance to make money on government subsidized private health insurance plans. If this had been single payer or single provider leaving the private health insurance companies out, it would have failed to pass Congress just like Hillarycare did.

The health insurance companies expect to be made whole by the government if they lose money on the Obamacare plans. They also now have a level playing field to accept clients with pre-existing conditions, etc. and can pass those increased costs on to their healthy clients as higher premiums

The evil profit making health insurance companies that are so despised for making money off the sick, still win, for now. .

"The evil profit making health insurance companies that are so despised for making money off the sick, still win,"

So true. I was quite amused reading the tortured logic of so many suggesting that O-Care was better because it removed the profit motive from healthcare insurance. LOL The bill which was subsequently passed into law, was designed to virtually guarantee the insurance industry's profitability but that fact was cleverly disguised.
