Harry Reid: Latest ObamaCare Data ‘Really, Really Very Good News for America’

“Another day another report highlighting how ObamaCare is helping Americans. Today’s proof comes from a Gallup poll which finds that nine out of ten Americans report having health insurance. 

Here are few excerpts from Associated Press story about this poll. ‘Underlining a change across the nation, nearly nine out of ten adults now say they have health insurance according to this extensive survey which was released today. A Gallup poll found that the share of adults who lack insurance dropped to 11.9 percent for the first three months of this year, the lowest level since survey began its tracking. 

Coverage gains from 2014-2015 translate to about 3.6 million fewer adults uninsured since the fall. The Affordable Care Act had three major objectives: increase coverage, slow the rate of increase in costs, and improve health.

‘The first one is clearly a win, said Dan Witters, research director for the poll. ‘Coverage is increasing there is no question about it.’ Recent gains in coverage have benefited people up and down the income ladder. But the most notable improvement has been among those making less than $36,000 a year, a group that traditionally struggled to get and keep health insurance.’ 

Mr. President, a little chart comment on this. When we have people who make less than $36,000 a year have insurance coverage, it saves us money and not having to go to their primary care physician which is in emergence room the highest cost of health care delivery than anything in the United States.

So this is really, really very good news for America. ObamaCare’s working. More and more evidence is mounting every day. So it’s time Republicans stop trying to  destroy the law that is helping millions and millions of Americans.”
