Welcome to Fairfax Underground, a project site designed to improve communication among residents of Fairfax County, VA. Feel free to post anything Northern Virginia residents would find interesting.
The new health insurance marketplaces appear to be making little headway so far in signing up Americans who lack health insurance, the Affordable Care Act’s central goal.
A pair of surveys released on Thursday suggest that just one in 10 uninsured people who qualify for private health plans through the new marketplace have signed up for one — and that about half of uninsured adults has looked for information on the online exchanges or plans to look.
Taken together, the snapshots shown by the surveys provide preliminary answers to what has been one of the biggest mysteries since HealthCare.gov and separate state marketplaces opened last fall: Are they attracting their prime audience?
One of the surveys, by the consulting firm McKinsey & Co., shows that, of people who had signed up for coverage through the marketplaces by last month, just one-fourth described themselves as having been without insurance for most of the past year.
The survey also attempted to gauge what has been another fuzzy matter: how many of the people actually have the insurance for which they signed up. Under federal rules, coverage begins only if someone has started to pay their monthly insurance premiums.

That begs the question of how many in the 3/4ths were people who had plans but Obama didn't like them so they got booted and were responsible enough to go find new ones through the exchanges, rather than suckling a the teat of the taxpayer, as Gerry2 would want.

It should be a national shame that our first black president had to be this inept jackoff.

Inevitable he would SUCK, given his lack of real world experience and the leftist drivel he's spouted.
Most conservatives, libertarians and repubs would WELCOME a black prez, just not another entitled media darling from the professional victim class like this absolute DUD.

I'd welcome Allen West to step right in. He'd clean things up pretty quick.

True. Lots better out there.
Unfortunately nobody who's really qualified, black or white, really wants to run any more. It's a job for politicians only and the bigger bullshitter who's better at manipulating the public is the one who wins.
