Fox News Propaganda - War on the Y Axis

exGOPer · Mar 31, 2014

A Fox News graphic about Obamacare enrollment levels looked juuuuuust a bit off on Monday.

It showed a bar chart comparing the number of Obamacare enrollments as of March 27 â 6 million â to the original projection of 7 million by March 31 from the Congressional Budget Office. There was a slight problem with the way the network portrayed things, though, as Media Matters noted.

What happens to the models when 80-85% of those enrolled don't or can't pay their premiums?

Tax increase on the productive workers.

Deflection is the number one tool in the wingnut toolbox.

Please show me which provision in ACA will lead to news taxes if those who enrolled didn't pay their premiums.

Thanks in advance.

Please show me where the money will come from when they don't pay their premiums.

If they don't pay their premiums then they don't receive insurance, there is no provision in the ACA which pays the entirety of the premiums if you chose not to pay your part.

No defection, just stating the facts when your side hides the truth. The back-end of the website, that part that directs money from the insureds to their respective insurers hasn't even been finished.

There's a good chunk of those enrolled that have not made a payment, a bigger chunk that have signed up and think they have made payments but that money hasn't been passed on to the insurance companies.... guess what, no tickey, no laundry.

And when all the models are re-done because the make up of the insurance pools are a substantially higher risk when they finally figure out who actually applied, mainly those who couldn't get insurance to begin with because they are sick.... then the rates are going to skyrocket... but I'm sure the speeches are already being written to address the shortfall protecting the big insurance companies and how we the taxpaying minority need to hit the hip once again.

.

I have posted threads which gave hard numbers on how many people paid their premiums, what 'hides' are you talking about.

You are just deflecting, first the assumption was that no one will sign up, once the sign ups surged, you guys moved on to the next set of talking points. Pure concern trolling.

What hard numbers? Sebelius has testified she doesn't know the numbers, everything is speculation. What is known is no money from the health exchange has been paid to the insurance companies for premiums as the back end is not complete. Instead the insurers have been given a form of a stipend or bulk partial payment to cover expenses and claims until they can complete it and actually get a look at who's actually covered and who's paid what.
