NEW YORK (MainStreet) — As we enter the beginning of baseball season, one thing we know for certain - Obamacare did not lead off with a home run. Quite the contrary, it leads in errors - and the manager, Kathleen Sebelius, was canned.
Far from being the success the White House said it is, the Affordable Healthcare Act, commonly known as Obamacare, has made no improvement in providing for the uninsured when compared to the last months of the Bush administration in late 2008 - indeed it is much higher than it was in 1987, during the Reagan administration. Reducing the uninsured was the major motivation for revamping the America's healthcare system.
A new survey by the Gallup organization indicates that the number of Americans without health insurance is still slightly higher than it was in 2008 in the months before Obama took office - despite the increase in Medicaid recipients because of Obamacare. Medicaid probably added millions to its enrollment due to its expansion, said Gallup's researchers. They noted that "....it remains unclear how many were previously insured and moved to Medicaid as a less expensive option."
Furthermore, Gallup observed that the decline in the percentage of uninsured during the first quarter because of the effects of expanded Medicaid eligibility policies. But Gallup stated explicitly that it "....is also likely, in turn, that not all new enrollees will ultimately pay their insurance premiums, which would result in a subsequent change in status from insured to uninsured at some point later in 2014."
