20 Obamacare Stats Republicans Don't Want You to See

The Conservatives on this board won't get it, so I don't know why I bother.

The ACA is not perfect and needs fixing. But the do-nothing congress continues to do NOTHING.

• Number of adults without health insurance in 2013: 41 million. Today: 30 million

• Percentage of insurance exchange customers who'd previously been uninsured: 57%

• Annual number of people who would be uninsured over the next decade if not for Obamcare: 24 to 27 million

• The Congressional Budget Office's latest estimate of how much Obamacare's subsidies will cost: $209 billion less than projected

• 43% of Americans say they have an unfavorable view of Obamacare. Yet, many Americans approve of most of its major components:

Insurance exchanges/marketplaces: 78% approve

Subsidies for buying insurance: 76% approve

Medicaid expansion: 75% approve

Requiring large employers to insure workers: 60% approve

Requiring individuals to buy insurance: 35% approve



• Percentage of Americans who say Obama care has…

…helped them or their families: 19%

…hurt them or their families: 22%

…had no direct impact on them: 57%

• Percentage of Democrats who say Obamacare has helped them: 28%

• Percentage of Republicans who say Obamacare has hurt them: 43%

• The average change in insured Americans by county between 2013 and 2014: +6.1%

I doubt your stats are factual.

If this is true then Obamacare is turning out to be one of his better issues. If the cost of health care raises at a slower rate over the next decade then Obamcare be a good thing. Maybe I was wrong to attack it.

The only who doesn't get it is you! You title your thread:

Than you follow it up with:

Since you like to stereotype, and don't know the difference between a conservative and a republican. Is it okay for me to do they same for you? You are ripe for the pickin on that too.

Hazlnut post is correct 100% but for Republicans it doesn't matter. They don't give a shit then dedicate themselves to repeal it with out alternative. It's a new law not perfect but it can be improved.
