Here's what House Republicans are up against in their planning to make a plan to replace Obamacare in the event they ever gain enough power to repeal it: Keeping all these people insured.
That's part of an early release of data from the Centers for Disease Control National Health Survey.
For January-September 2015, the percentage uninsured at the time of interview was 9.1% (95%confidence interval = 8.71%–9.54%), which was lower than the 2014 estimate of 11.5%.
The percentage uninsured at the time of interview decreased from 16.0% in 2010 to 9.1% in January– September 2015.
It's awfully hard to look at that nearly 20 years of data and argue that Obamacare didn't work.
Sure, some of the decrease from 2010 could be attributable to an improving economy, but the fairly stable rate for the 17 years prior to 2010 make that a hard argument to win.
So there's your task, Republicans. Give us a plan that can do that.
