The figure touted by the administration is 7 million, but various surveys report that between 2/3 and 3/4 of those had previous insurance that was cancelled by the so-called ACA. So the fact is that very few of those 47 million have actually been covered by the ACA. Probably only 2.3 million or fewer.

And oh, by the way (1) how many of those 7M have actually signed up and made a first payment to an insco (vs just signing up on on the ACA site) and (2) how many were previously insured but lost coverage because it didn't comply with ACA? There are considerably more than 40M still uninsured. > -----Original Message----- > From: Mercedes [mailto:mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com] On Behalf Of > clay > Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2014 2:36 PM > To: Mercedes Discussion List > Subject: Re: [MBZ] Political Statement for the Day (OnT) > > I am still confused about ACA. > > The whole circus was to be able to provide lower cost health care to a > larger contingent of consumers.
