Of course. Liberal programs deteriorate slowly.

If they simply crashed and burned immediately, even the usual Democrat voter could figure out that they were bad.

Something has to fool people into signing up for them in the beginning. Only later do things start sliding downhill.

I am estimating the net loss of those that had "insurance" before to be less that the addition of those to Medicaid actual insurance, so there would be a net gain there as well, although a bit difficult to quantify with my rudimentary math explanation skills.

Why do ACA supporters feel it's o.k. to place a substantial financial burden on others? Why?

Any politician who voted for this needs to get thrown out.

You pay for the uninsured now, genius.

I know you can figure out why.

Democratic sign of success, add 9,000,000 people to medicaid..

btw, the net increase is estimated to be NEGATIVE 2.7M...

That would be about 4.7M that lost insurance
about 1M re-obtained insurance
and about 1M through ACA website.

Not even close to the number you made up..

Leftie logic at its finest - get called out on a lie, so back it up with a statement that proves you lied. And STILL no proof.
