Now, the lefties who are up for reelection are calling for delays.....with the thinking that it will disguise their strong support for the failed program....so that they won't suffer the consequences next November.
"Off with their heads!"...........in a manner of speaking.
(Hint: For real information about this issue, find a thread where the preconceived notions of right-wingers aren't the premise of the thread. There, you'll find actual facts, like the fact that 476,000 people have signed up for health coverage through the ACA health exchanges - something that the right-wingers stuck in their echo chambers cannot admit, not even to themselves. But heck, threads like this are fun to watch - it helps clarify why right-wingers actually think the way they think - self-deception supported by the self-deception of cohorts. And when reality is injected into their nonsense, they react like little children, calling any reasonable person disagreeing with them names and engaging in other childish behavior, because they're unwilling or incapable of respecting the fact that reasonable people disagree with them. They cannot fathom that their antisocial stance isn't the only possible way to think. No matter how much we demonstrate for them mature regard for opposing perspective - disagreeing and characterizing as negative for substantive, often moral, reasons, but not questioning the intelligence of holding such selfish and self-serving perspectives - they don't seem to learn how to act maturely.)
Once again I will quote Katherine Sebelius whom testified that the numbers to be released next week "will be very low".
We're only six weeks into enrollment. Come back in March, when enrollment ends, and then we can talk. I expect by then we'll see the number closer to 15 million, if not more. Furthermore, keep in mind that many of those who were without health insurance will gain access to affordable coverage through other means, i.e., the requirement that insurance include dependent coverage up to age 26, and the Medicaid expansion. The total impact is supposed to come in around 25 million, factoring in how right-wing nut-jobs running red states have failed to expand Medicaid to help their own constituents.
We waited years now and got exactly what we predicted.
Oh-pen urr-eyezz.
