speaking about health care I've got a clip from Fox News Sunday hosted by
Chris Wallace
chris wallace says one of the problems with Obamacare
is that too many poor people are getting medicaid know when you hear this you
would say okay well any second we're gonna hear about why this is a problem
you don't hear it take a look at the video listen to the audio
on so far as that many more people are signing up for Medicaid
that are signing up into the private insurance plans in the marketplace was
put up some of these numbers
which are astonishing is that the latest numbers out this week in maryland
82,000 people have signed up for Medicaid
3,000 for private plans in alright and 62,000 for medicaid
and believe it or not this was the the number that came out this week
0 for private insurance this approach explain
why that is significant and how it could lead to what
folks like you call the death spiral for Obamacare
what's happening as these people who go on to the website actually enter their
personal income information
if it's low enough they automatically sign them up for Medicaid they just put
in a medicaid program
there's no premium so it's very easy they say hearing comes very low
you're on medicaid on the other people people have to pay private insurance
they actually owe a premium
so if anyone goes on actually can make it through the website figure out what's
going on
they find out hey I might owe a hundred dollars a month for premium and what
when and how to run a dairy
spiral as the impact this could have if you have people that either don't sign
up for
RN something like Medicaid and therefore are paying into Russia's to
this is bizarre Louis they're just stating how medicaid works this isn't
normally when you have an argument you have the premise where
will you have some kind of promise and then you have a conclusion and you have
a
underlying assumptions and you can kinda follow what the argument is
this is just stating how medicaid works
in its home in that suggest it's a problem it doesn't make any sense yes
if your income is low you can qualify
for free health care through Medicaid if you make more money when you punch that
into the website
it tells you you pay for health care how is stating
that medicaid exists indicative a problem
up I couldn't tell you I think maybe
I'm not sure is pretty confusing
that the numbers they bring up just really aren't that help one kinda
misleading as usual which which Fox News does all the time
and I think clearly the number people signing
not signing up rather has something to do with
arm the web site issues are
or of course for plans that include premiums but
I really couldn't tell you with complete imagine land as I think I've a good
analogy like imagine a conversation and education Lewis and send when someone
says
you know what are the problems with not studying for your calculus final
is that when you gonna take the test you don't recognize the subject matter in
the end up getting a bad grade
next guest comes in you know that's right Chris students showing up they see
equations they don't know how to solve for that we've been talking about this
for a while because they're gonna have trouble getting into college
incredible great analysis thanks how is stating how something works
you don't study and then you're not going to do well on the test
you earn below a certain amount and you get medicaid
I just don't understand now that now they're just resorting to reading laws
and assuming whoever watches will realize how problematic it is
while reading laws in framing in a way that is
advantageous to them idk makes Obamacare not look too good so I think it's
it's probably working pretty well for on today's bonus show we are going to show
