There is once again debating and discussing about Obamacare. Now people are arguing over whether the amount of people signed up so far is a "failure" or if it just doesn't really matter. There are so far 2.1 million people have been signed up to private state or federal plans when the goal for the end of December was 3.3 million. There is also a goal of 7 million to be signed up by the end of March. Some say that is not enough of the 20 million uninsured plus the other people that had their policies canceled. But there are those like Gene Sperling (National Economic Council Director) says it doesn't matter what the number is but that we have as many signed up as possible. White House Spokesman Jay Carney also says it doesn't matter how matter but who it is that are signing up. A lot of sick people have signed up because it benefits them the most. The young and healthy will most likely be the last to sign up.

Does it really matter how many people are signed up through Obamacare? Well there are definitely multiple sides to this question. One is that Obamacare is not reaching the goals that its own supporters set up. That's fact. Who really knows if it will ever get as many people as it was hoping to get. But I do think that the bigger deal is who is getting signed up. I am not a supporter of Obamacare but if you are someone that would benefit from it then why not use it if it's there for you to use? The sick and people without insurance definitely need to be helped so it is really good that they are the ones signing up right now. Up to this point there have been a lot of issues with rolling out Obamacare, and it is not making its goals. So I am curious to see how it is going to do from here on out.
