    White House Doesn’t Want To Talk About Obamacare Numbers For Young Americans Because The Numbers Show That The Healthcare Law Is A Failure
    December 17, 2013 by Sam Rolley

    The Obama Administration has expended a great deal of energy encouraging young people to sign up for Obamacare, which relies heavily on the participation of healthier young Americans to offset healthcare costs for older, sicker enrollees. The importance of young Americans to Obamacare’s success would seemingly indicate that the Administration is closely following enrollment numbers for that group — but the White House says it is not.

    Asked by a reporter on Tuesday about Obamacare enrollment numbers for young Americans, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said that the Administration did not have “any data specifically broken down by age.” Carney then used his infamous “I would refer you” line to suggest that the reporter check with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. But the Press Secretary warned that CMS may not have the numbers either.

    Carney went on to claim that the numbers for youth enrollment in Obamacare are expected to remain low until the last minute because young Americans planning to enroll will “wait until the last minute to get their paperwork done or their online applications done.”

    Here’s a transcript of the conversation:

    It is hard to believe that the White House would be unaware of the number of young Americans enrolling in Obamacre due to the importance of that demographic to the law’s success. More likely, the White House has seen the numbers — and the numbers add up to bad news for Obama’s healthcare overhaul.

    Despite the Administration’s efforts and big spending on hip, youthful pathetic Obamacare advertisement campaigns designed to make young Americans feel like getting health insurance is cool, polling in recent months indicates that the demographic mostly feels that the government insurance program takes advantage of them.

    A Harvard study released earlier this month revealed:


    If Harvard’s numbers correlate to real-life youth enrollment in the President’s healthcare plan, it’s no surprise that Carney doesn’t want to discuss the numbers. Making them public would likely renew calls to scrap the healthcare law altogether instead of waiting for its ultimate failure.

    oh, boy, this just keeps getting better. Utter and total defeat is where this thing will end.
    Again, it has nothing to do with healthcare. It was a smash and grab or 7% of the private sector economy
