you're overlooking the 12.5 million added to the Medicare program by the ACA(more are eligible, but some states are dragging feet, some not participating at all). That means, 20 million or so of my fellow citizens now have health insurance, who did not at this time last year. Victory? Total victory? Not even sufficient.....this is the most significant improvement in the lives of the American citizenry since Medicare was enacted. And, you know what? The right wing fought that one too, and the rollout was messy as well. Recent polling shows a small, but measurable, uptick in public sentiment about the ACA. Come November, it might be sufficiently popular to make the opposition look like the hateful, small-thinking bunch of losers which they are.Reservoir_Dog wrote:7.1 million .... and counting.

Whole lot of stuff ya ain't counting.callmeslick wrote:wasn't counting them.....but, thanks for that point, Pud. Those people now have REAL insurance, providing a measure of REAL security to them and their families, and aren't merely cannon fodder for the insurers and hospitals. I'm sure they will discover the improvement if they already haven't. By the way, can you source your figure of 6 million? I find no such clear accounting anywhere.

REAL insurance? and what they had before wasn't? How many of them six million policies did ya read/compare.
Cannon fodder? Only for the Federal Govt.
Source of the six million...where have you been since last fall, under a rock?
"I find no such clear accounting anywhere." And yet, you throw out numbers as if they're verified?
How's about this?
The only folks who "know/no" the numbers....ain't "showing" them...Why?
I'm gonna fix yer post above for ya.
