Washington (CNN) -- A last-minute enrollment surge enabled the White House
to meet its original sign-up target for the Affordable Care Act, a
surprising victory for the Obama administration after a rocky rollout of the
program that has become a political hot potato for Democrats and a rallying
cry for Republicans.
President Barack Obama said on Tuesday that 7.1 million people had signed up
on federal or state exchanges for coverage under the health care law now
often known as Obamacare.
The enrollment period began anemically in October with a faltering federal
website and ended with a crush of people trying to beat Monday's deadline to
get coverage. Not everyone who has selected a health plan has paid for it
yet, officials said.
Nevertheless, Obama claimed victory at a White House ceremony, saying the
program approved by Congress in 2010 -- with no Republican support and
vilified relentlessly by the GOP as government overreach -- has been a force
for good.
He said it wasn't perfect, acknowledging the early difficulties in selecting
a policy on HealthCare.gov, and he predicted more hurdles in carrying it
out.
But the overall goal of starting to narrow the gap between those with health
coverage and those without it has begun, and millions of Americans are
embracing it, Obama said.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office originally projected the 7
million enrollment target for the October through March period, which was
adopted by the administration.
Expectations plummeted throughout the fall and into this year after the
early website problems, which Obama called "several lost weeks."
But signs of a pickup began in late January and continued into February and
early March despite a fierce campaign by Republicans to demonize the law as
unworkable.
Administration officials said an absolute crush of people pushed the program
-- Obama's chief domestic accomplishment -- over the finish line at the
11th hour. More than 4.8 million visits were made to HealthCare.gov on
Monday alone.
Officials stressed that the 7.1 million figure represents only those who
signed up for coverage. Those who came in late and encountered technical
problems have until mid-April to complete the process. Private insurers are
providing the coverage.
Health of Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told an Oklahoma TV
station on Monday that insurers were reporting that 80% to 90% had paid so
far.
The law also includes expanded Medicaid insurance for the poor in many
states, but those participants are not part of the sign-up total. |

隐形增税。你看你医疗保险这两年至少涨了20%到40%，其实就是多交的税。

别扯了。医疗保险这些年哪年不是接近每年10%的涨？就是因为涨才有obamacare。只不
过是由政客和保险业合写的法律无法阻止他们继续涨。
