Weekly update on Obamacare sign ups Week 6 = 810,000

Blogger Brainwrap has refined his methodology (and the quality of the data is getting better). He has documented it by state and has more than 800,00, and this excludes many states, including California.

See the latest figures here:

The numbers show the important breakdown between Medicaid expansion and non Medicaid expansion.

These appear to be 'firm' but low figures. For example he has taken out CA numbers because they aren't documented well enough.

To date, more than 125,000 applications have been filed by Californians who will finally be able to have affordable, high-quality health care.

In Arizona, for example, no signups have been reported and I signed up over a month ago.

When all of the figures are reported in from all of the different exchanges it would appear that we are approaching 1 million applications for insurance.

The RW and media will continue to 'stir the shit'. The fact is with January 1st being the first day that coverage can happen NO premiums are yet due (that won't happen till December 15) and we won't have actual figures until January.

The bottom line? It appears that about a million families that have not been able to get to see a doctor have moved much closer to getting that done.

When anything on the ACA comes up on the media I just change the channel, I prefer to see the actual facts.
