And we've got over 12,000,000 customers, which you guys maintained there'd never be anything like that. And when they hit four million signups, that was enough to make the system viable. You're prdicting less than a third actually pay? Ridiculous.
As of about a month ago, health industry officials said:
Quote:
Insurance industry officials at four of the big national health plans tell POLITICO that about 15 to 20 percent people who have signed up have not yet paid their first monthly premium — the final step to get coverage
Which by simple subtraction means at least 80% HAD paid their premiums, and that was not a final figure, so it's reasonable to expect a final percentage higher than that. Which means, if that percentage holds good, at least somewhere around 10,000,000 people will pay. With the viability point only around 4,000,000 paid, yes, the ACA is a success. Thew numbers we do have so far don't back you, joint, just as I said.
Hell, Obamacare has been a raging success in Massachusetts, under its local name Romneycare, with an insurance pool a fraction the size of the national one (and Romneycare was a REPUBLICAN proposal, first propounded by the uberconservative Heritage Foundation, and Obamacare was modelled on that, but the GOP won't even back one of their own ideas, if Obama proposes it).
