Sarah Kliff: Under Obamacare, America’s Uninsured Rate Has Fallen 35 Percent
14.1 million Americans have gained health plans since Obamacare’s coverage expansion began in 2014.
An additional 2.3 million young adults gained coverage between 2010 and 2013 — after Obamacare began requiring employer plans to offer dependent coverage through age 26. Federal officials say this is the largest drop in the uninsured rate since 1965, when Medicare and Medicaid began.
A new report from Health and Human Services finds that the uninsured rate has fallen from 20.3 percent prior to the health-care law down to 13.2 percent at the start of 2015. This is a 7.1 percentage-point decrease in the uninsured rate — or, to put it another way, a 35-percent decline in the number of Americans who lack insurance coverage. “Nothing since the implementation of Medicare and Medicaid has come close to this kind of change,” says Richard Frank, assistant secretary for evaluation and planning at Health and Human Services.

POTUS is coming for a visit with FLOTUS. As FLOTUS said this is a night these young girls will never forget, they will tell their kids and grandkids about this.
SO sweet.
POTUS will be going to Tennessee tomorrow to give a speech about the ACA (Obamacare).
Yea!!!!!!!!!!!! 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
SOS Kerry is remaining in Vienna and POTUS is home.
I guess the Cuba announcement tomorrow will be videotape?
Unless the reporting that it will be POTUS and SOS making the announcement in the morning is mistaken.
Anybody here know anything about this?
Meta?
It sounds like they’re going to be making separate announcements.

So many forces at work on this, my head is dizzy.
Richie Rich & Archie were my fav comics when I was 12 years old. In 1967/68 I could buy a comic book, soda and Boston creme cake for .35 cents.
Mine was tarzan.

Cuba has successfully eliminated mother-to-child transmission of both HIV and syphilis, the World Health Organization (WHO) says.
The head of the WHO, Dr Margaret Chan, called it one of the greatest public health achievements possible.
It follows years of efforts to give pregnant women early access to prenatal care, testing and drugs to stop these diseases passing from mother to child.
The WHO hopes other countries will be able to achieve the same.

This is a BFD.
In_DEED it is, amk!!! Good morning 🙂
GM Bob.
#spoilsport. always talking sense.
well, that officially spoils the camp-out– somebody invited mark knoller, who will find a ‘both sides’ narrative no matter how genuinely wholesome the event.
Mark Knoller is sniffing around for scraps of left over food, or perhaps a complimentary box of Girl Scout cookies for him to much on all night.
OOoh my…I can just imagine what a MAGICAL night it must be for these little girls. A memory that will be forever etched in their minds!
LOL -I want a video of that! 🙂
“I hope they comped he m for a free box if mints”. Toooooo funny Chips.
I ❤ Health Care News. Great job, NW.
Congrats DB in your Au ⭐
USA! USA! USA!
LOLz!!
USA! USA! USA!
🙂 Awesome. Teaching moment.
I just truly love that with all these two have on their plates every day, they take time to do really wonderful events like this. What a treat for these young girls.
They have truly opened the WH to all people – artists, writers, poets, children, sports peeps. The list goes on.
Never been anything like it.
