From Fox News: The administration is lagging behind its goals for attracting young people to the ObamaCare exchanges, according to newly released statistics.
Administration officials, though, were upbeat in describing the numbers. They said they're in a "solid place," and noted that this age group makes up just 26 percent of the general population.
About 1.8 million people enrolled in new individual health plans through the law in December, bringing the total number of new enrollments through Dec.28 to about 2.2 million.
Monday’s report is the first time the government has released demographic data on the performance of President Obama’s signature health care overhaul.
According to the new numbers released Monday by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, only 24 percent – or 489,460 – of the 2.2 million people who signed up for ACA were in the coveted 18-to-34 age range. That means the government has hit only 18 percent of its goal in the 18-34 age range.
For the system to work, 2.7 million young adults between the ages of 18 to 35 have to sign up. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/01/13/numbers-key-obamacare-demographic-group-come-in-well-below-estimates/#
So, they don't even have 2 million people signed up- they haven't even made up the deficit of people who lost their health insurance because of ObamaCare.
ObamaCare has been a disaster but liberals are silent, which is good for conservatives. Anytime a liberal has an idea, even if it is a good idea, all conservatives have to say "ObamaCare" and the liberal idea will be shot down very quickly.
