| You know I'm going to kill Obamacare. Wanna bet? |
The White House is trying kill Obamacare. Americans are throwing it a lifeline.
Despite the Trump Administration’s promises to “repeal and replace” the Affordable Care Act, enrollment for health insurance under the program is quite healthy with less than a month to go in the current sign-up period, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, a federal agency.
“In week three of Open Enrollment for 2018, 798,829 people selected plans using the HealthCare.gov platform,” the agency reported.
That brings the total number of enrollees in this period to 2.3 million, which is almost 900,000 people — or 64 percent — more than the number of customers who signed up during the first four weeks of enrollment in 2016, according to CNBC.
The figures included more than 566,000 new consumers and 1.7 million renewals, with total Healthcare.gov users exceeding 8.1 million.
And keep in mind this is without the Trump Administration doing a damn thing to help advertise this open enrollment.
It's almost as if the Obama Administration created a pretty good program that the American people want in their lives, and have come to rely on.
