Are 30 million more people "really" uninsured since Trump became President

Not exactly sure where this got started, but you hear it a lot. Somewhere, someone suggested that Trump is responsible for thirty million Americans losing their insurance. The reality is that this is hardly possible. With approximately 190 million adult Americans who would be too young to qualify for Medicare, that relates to a 16% rise in the uninsured. Looking at this graph, it clearly shows that such a thing is not even in the ball park. In fact, the rate of uninsured is still historically low.

The real number of people who "dropped" insurance looks to be more in the range of approximately five million at most, and would include the millions who dropped out of coverage voluntarily, after no longer being forced to enroll based on the insurance mandate (due to courts ruling it unconstitutional). So while Democrats may argue that these people "lost" insurance, they know where it is, they just no longer choose to pay exorbitant rates that was being required. 

Moreover other people have made determinations of more people uninsured, but not even in the range that some are claiming. Here, they are talking about a number between 1.2 and 2 million, which would barely cover those who dropped insurance voluntarily. 

How many people are uninsured?

For the second year in a row, the number of uninsured increased. In 2018, 27.9 million nonelderly individuals were uninsured, an increase of nearly 500,000 from 2017. Since 2016 when the number of uninsured reached historic lows, the number of people who lack health insurance coverage has grown by 1.2 million. Despite these recent increases, the uninsured rate remains substantially lower than it was in 2010, when the first ACA provisions went into effect and prior to the full implementation of Medicaid expansion and the establishment of Health Insurance Marketplaces. Data show substantial gains in public and private insurance coverage and historic decreases in the number of uninsured people under the ACA, with nearly 20 million gaining coverage.

Number of uninsured Americans rises for the first time since Obamacare

The number of Americans lacking health insurance ticked up slightly last year, marking the first annual increase in the uninsured rate in nearly a decade, the U.S. Census Bureau reported Tuesday. The uninsured rate rose from 7.9 percent in 2017 to 8.5 percent last year, amounting to nearly 2 million more uninsured people, as experts said the Trump administration's efforts to undermine the Affordable Care Act were partly to blame.

The reality is that Trump has done little to undermine Obamacare other than not punishing those who choose not to purchase it. In fact, it would be a better argument that Trump had nothing to do with that either, since it was the Courts (not Trump) that ruled the mandate unconstitutional. The uninsured rates still remain remarkably low, and they are no longer artificially lower based on forcing people to purchase something that they do not.

Nope, this is just another a very long list of inaccurate or dishonest attacks on the President. Here is to hoping that the rest of the Country is not as dumb as the Democratic brown shirts who lock step to everything their leadership tells them without question!
