Aetna CEO: Only 11% of Obamacare Signups Have Been Uninsured (Washington Free Beacon)

Aetna CEO Mark Bertolini joined CNBC’s Squawk Box Wednesday to discuss Obamacare’s recent troubles, revealing that only 11 percent of those signed up for insurance under the law were previously uninsured.

“Right now we only see that 11 percent of the population is people that were formerly uninsured are now insured, so we didn’t really eat into the uninsured population,” Bertolini said.

Bertolini cited the rocky rollout as a key factor, saying the very public failures of healthcare.gov discouraged employers from moving employees into the exchanges.
