OBAMACARE EXCEEDS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED EXPECTATIONS SLIGHTLY

good god, goateed JLB right here

In 2011 the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projected that Obamacare would lower the number of uninsured by 21m in 2014 and 34m in 2021.

in order to mkae it sustainable of taking from the youth to give to the old and decrepit, 40% of the people signed up need to be under 35. so far, it's a quarter

But, but we have 30-40 million uninsured or so it was preached. How is six million any type of FTW. And of that 6 million how many were forced to get Obamacare because their old plans (that you could keep your doctor, keep your plan, and save a family of four $2500.00 a year) were cancelled.

The ACA... what a liberal progressive wet dream. We are getting a facial.

So what if people sign up for Obamacare. Doesn't mean it's any good. They were forced to. Over six million Jews wore yellow stars prior to WWII. Maybe the yellow stars were an astounding success.

Dude, I think you meant to say that 15% of the population is uninsured, not 15 million. http://kff.org/other/state-indicator/total-population/

Of the 313.9 million in the country, that equates to just over 47 million uninsured.

So, even assuming that your other numbers are correct, that leaves us:

Uninsured 47m
- online 6m
- offline 4m
- Mcaid 10m
- <26yo 3m

That leaves 24 million uninsured. According to the best estimates of PPACA, it'll only cut the uninsured rates by 60%. http://www.urban.org/health_policy/uninsured/

obamacare is the transfer of wealth from millennials to boomers

I agree with your basic premise, Indy - but if the Koch bros were guilty of half what people say about them, they'd be 10x worse than a Hitler-Stalin baby.
