Apparently, the number is now 7,041,000. The problem with an unlabled Y-Axis (which, I'll mention again, FOX did correct later), is that since that number is still less than the number they have for the goal (7,066,000), they could use exactly the same graphic, with the same bar sizes, even though the difference is now 25,000 instead of 1,066,000.

Sorry, HM.
It's not just the chart I don't understand, it's what it is actually referring to in the first place. I take it it's a bad thing that less people have "signed up"? But I thought Obamacare was about social healthcare, so wouldn't a right wing media mouthpiece like Faux news be in favour of only! 6m people? Don't feel the need to reply if it's complicated. I have a better than average (British) grasp of American politics and current affairs, but that's not saying much. So I admit my complete ignorance of Obamacare. I get much of my real American education here, and I've deliberately avoided the threads that refer to it, after getting annoyed at criticisms of the NHS. Which you're only allowed to bitch about when you pay for it :) |
They are citing the failure to reach expectations as an example of the law not working, and exaggerating the amount it fell short to exaggerate how much it failed to work.
This number isn't the number of people getting subsidies; it's the number who enrolled in private insurance using the Federal and state exchanges. Not all of them got subsidies, and many who would have needed subsidies were put in Medicare instead. So, on a more "conservative vs liberal" axis, they would have wanted a low number for "Medicare enrollees and subsidized private enrollees". This was on an "Republicans vs Obamacare" axis - they want few people to sign up so they can call the law a failure and have a bunch of people who have to pay the penalty for not signing up, who can be used in ads a year from now (when the penalty is due). |
Fox wishes to celebrate the "failure" of the President (from the opposing party) falling short of his goal. (Which he didn't actually do.)

As far as being "social" goes this is the farthest thing from it. People are being forced to purchase health care from private companys. It's a conservative idea pushed through by the left. It has positive effects on who gets covered but...

Looks like a map of mountains and deserts. With some black fly habitat thrown in for fun.

A lot of it is Federal Land, especially in the west.

That's true, every state and national park is going to have tons of people in it every day and even nightly, but no one technically "lives" there.

It says "Most Popular Athlete by State", according to Google search queries. Maybe not most popular, but most "Who the hell is Andrew Wiggins?".
