Associated Press Finds That ObamaCare Is Not Insuring The Uninsured

April 22, 2014

The Associated Press took a quick look at where ObamaCare stands now that the enrollment period is over, and the reviews aren’t good.

ObamaCare “has only chipped away at one of its core goals: to sharply reduce the number of people without insurance,” the AP states, noting that a significant share of the 8 million enrollees President Obama boasted about earlier this month were already previously insured.

Not only is ObamaCare failing to deliver on one of its core promises – insuring the uninsured – but for those who have gained insurance (or were forced to buy into ObamaCare after it cancelled their health plans), the reality is painful.

“High premiums, co-pays and deductibles also remain big hurdles,” the AP notes. “Some employers, meanwhile, have reduced staff hours to avoid a provision of the law that requires health coverage for employees who work 30 hours a week.”

Democrats would love for nothing more than to “move on” from the ObamaCare debate, but in reality, millions of Americans are waking up to the cold facts of a flawed law that is failing to deliver on its promises.
