\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: There have been 100 cancellations for every person who\u2019s signed up for Obamacare, not 10 cancellations. It\u2019s 100 cancellations for every person who\u2019s signed up. And, again, you figure that every person signing up is not just one, and every person being canceled is not just one, that you at least have a spouse and a child in there. <\/p>\n

You might have a family of four. I\u2019m gonna use a family of three as an average number here to get to what we\u2019re really talking about. We\u2019re talking about 15 million people who\u2019ve had their policies canceled, if you figure three people per cancellation. ‘Cause it\u2019s five million cancellations compared to 50,000 sign-ups. But I\u2019m gonna add three people to each of those categories. Because we\u2019re talking at least families of two to four here, so I\u2019m just gonna use a family of three. <\/p>\n

That gives us 15 million people uninsured.<\/p>\n

It gives us about anywhere from 200,000 to 300,000 newly uninsured, people who\u2019ve actually closed the deal in their shopping carts. What this means is… When did this thing go live, October 1st? Here we are in November 12th, so basically in six weeks the regime has created almost 15 million uninsured to go along with the 30 million uninsured that they were gonna fix. We start this whole stupid process in order to provide insurance for the uninsured. What was the number the regime threw out?<\/line><\/p>\n

It\u2019s 30 million, 15, 43 million. We\u2019ll go with the 30 million number, but it was the most frequently used. So in six weeks, we have now added 15 million uninsured. That\u2019s what cancellation means. These people do not have policies. Now, what are they up against next? When we get to January 1st is when they are required to have a policy, and when that date comes and they\u2019re required to have a policy and they can\u2019t get one because the website\u2019s a mess and because the whole thing\u2019s a mess, then what happens? <\/p>\n

What a cluster this is. But it\u2019s safe to say that this has create it let\u2019s just say anywhere from 10 to 15 million brand-new uninsured Americans, by canceling their policies, people who thought they would be able to keep what they had. Can you imagine you…? You may be one of them. You bought what Obama said, “If you like your policy, you get to keep it. Doctor, same thing,” and then you get your cancellation notice, and then you find out your replacement is two and three times what you were paying? <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: By the way, folks, I need to tell you something else. This Wall Street Journal story that only about 50,000 people have signed up with Obamacare? That story is being ignored. That\u2019s strictly a Wall Street Journal story. The rest of the media is ignoring that, and you know what they\u2019re running instead? For example, if you go to the Yahoo page, if you get your news from Twitter…<\/line><\/p>\n

By the way, the Pew Center for People in the Press or somebody did a survey on where people get their news, and Twitter and Facebook are ranking real high. I think it\u2019s one out of 10 people right now get their news from Twitter. If you get your news from Twitter, you\u2019re getting it from Yahoo. So if you go to the Yahoo News portal, the top story there is an AP story talking about how Medicaid has signed up 444,000 people in just 10 states in just six weeks. They\u2019re totally ignoring all the cancellations. <\/line>They are ignoring, for example, that for every new policy that people are buying on Obamacare, there are 100 cancellations. So there 50,000 new policies, and 5,000,000 cancellations, and each of those is more than one person, obviously — or most of them are — and the media is totally ignoring that. The AP lead story is Medicaid and how well that\u2019s going. “My gosh, 444,000 people in only 10 states in just six weeks!” Oh, yeah, they\u2019re touting the Medicaid sign-up as a success story. <\/line><\/p>\n

Where\u2019s the money coming to sustain that? <\/p>\n

You\u2019re not supposed to ask that. <\/p>\n

(interruption)<\/p>\n

I know Medicaid was already broke. That\u2019s the point. The media is doing its level best to avoid reporting to low-information people the abject failure that is Obamacare, and instead they\u2019re touting this overwhelming success story of 444,000 people in just six weeks signing up to Medicaid. So they\u2019re trying to create the impression that Obamacare is this overwhelming success. But you say, “Well, who\u2019s paying for these 444,000?” You\u2019re not supposed to ask that question. The government is, and it\u2019s not paying for Obamacare, either. <\/p>\n

But “the government is,” and that\u2019s the answer that satisfies the low-information. <\/p>\n

“Oh, the government? Oh, okay, okay. Cool! Let\u2019s go sign up there, then,” and that\u2019s what\u2019s happening out there. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
