National Center’s Hogberg Analyzes ObamaCare Enrollment on Fox Business

While the Obama Administration and its supporters crow about the 7.1 million enrollment numbers for ObamaCare, the National Center’s Dr. David Hogberg could not figure how things logically add up as he went over the numbers with Fox Business Network managing editor and lead anchor Neil Cavuto.

Wondering “at what cost” these enrollment numbers were obtained, David and Cavuto discussed how ObamaCare has not substantially reduced the number of uninsured (two-thirds of enrollees were previously covered elsewhere, leaving only about 1.2 million net new paying enrollees) and how many still must pay for the plans they selected on the exchanges.

David suggested that ObamaCare is more about “political control” as it appears to seek to create a new middle-class entitlement.

This conversation appeared on the 4/3/14 edition of the “Cavuto” program.
