Pop quiz: How many people have signed up for Obamacare?

[Bugsy McGurk]

Answer: Zero.

One cannot sign up for Obamacare - there is no such insurance program. One can sign up for private insurance plans that are offered though.

I love it. FACTS!

Most Americans will be unaffected by the health care law. The ones with crappy policies will have better policies and the uninsured will have insurance.

And yet, how many times have we heard our so-called news media yammer about "the number of people that have signed up for Obamacare"?

As if Obamacare is some new type of governmental health insurance - the false image Pugs always try to depict.

Hehe. I was about to answer just that. In a sense, though, everyone who has qualifying care is covered by "Obamacare," in that we all now also have options we didn't previously have -- like the option to cover young adult children, and protections against being denied coverage for preexisting conditions if we later change insurers. We didn't have to "sign up" for that. We got it automatically.

The media is used to taking their talking points from the GOP.

We are not "covered by Obamacare" more than we are "covered" by any statute that affects us in any context.

It's misleading terminology, cooked up by Pugs, that the media lapdogs have duly picked up.

I would love to see some factual stories by the news media about people who have been helped immeasurably by the ACA. I am growing weary of asinine media acounts about "how many people have signed up for Obamacare."

Pugs lie. It is in their DNA and scripturally they are the ones God has predestined to hell. They deserve it.
