The real winners are the Democrats. The Republicans chose to do nothing about the healthcare cost problem when they had the chance to help tens of millions of people.
The Democrats telegraphed over and over and over what they would do if they got the chance, and the GOP totally ignored it.
Now those tens of millions who will get insurance (the actual winners in all of this) are going to vote Democratic.
I myself have health care insurance independent of the ACA so I will not be a winner as you define it here. As an American I am gratified that family, friends neighbors, loved ones, strangers and adversaries will all have another health care option/venue...
I also have insurance independent of the ACA.
There are far better ways the healthcare problem could have been resolved. Far superior to the ACA.
The GOP decided not to push for them, though. They chose to give the country the finger instead.
We will all pay the price for that mistake with much higher taxes and deficits.
