As Certified Insurance Agents with the Covered California and SHOP programs, we have found that a large percentage of our new individual clients were uninsured due to being unemployed. Most were unable to sustain or pay the unaffordable COBRA rates available to them through their former employers.

Additionally, for those who have chosen self-employment or taken employment where no health insurance is offered, Covered California has given them a solution for obtaining affordable health insurance. In my opinion, this is a good thing for all. A healthy well-trained workforce is essential to our success.

You lefties are so afraid that the people will discover how good ObamaCare really is.

So basically a major federal program specifically intended to lower the number of uninsured goes into effect and the number of uninsured goes down. Hmm, there is probably some causal relationship there.

“Rates for nonwhite Americans and the unemployed dropped by the sharpest amount in the last month”

In other words, those getting Medicaid! We already know previously insured people who had their plans cancelled make up 89% of all plans selected, and only 11% are of people who were not previously insured. Of the 11% not previously insured, most have been enrolled in expanded Medicaid.

The Hill is a joke. At least half its readers (conservatives) are far more informed than those (liberals) who sell their biased view of the news.
