I always laugh at those standing in line April 15th for that fake tax dealine.. if you are getting a refund, there is no penalty for filing it late..
Not everyone gets a refund. The years I have had to write a check you better believe I didn't write it until I had to. It was bad enough they were taking my money, but they sure weren't getting it early if I could help it.

Yes, not everyone gets a refund, but considering 50%+ of the public doesnt pay any federal income taxes at all, thats 1/2 the public who rushes out to file taxes on a fake deadline that doesnt exist.
Furthermore, the IRS doesnt really consider it late, unless the post mark is after the 17th.
If the IRS was smart, they'd put a 15th deadline on taxpayers, and then a 20th for everyone else, so they could collect all of the money faster than they pay it out.
They were projecting upwards of 14,000,000 enrollees, and kicking 5 million off of insurance, and then giving 2 million + medicaid, resulting in 7 million insured, is about 7 million short of what they projected and leaves them with pretty much a net zero increase..
it would have been cheaper, and more effective, to just expand medicaid and not punish everyone in the process.
The enrollments away from the exchanges through places like Ehealthinsurance are predicted to be 9.5 million. These are mostly people who were previously insured. Now it looks like we will have close to 7 million through the exchanges and another 5 million on medicaid expansion. Medicaid expansion would have been about 8 million but 23 Republican states blocked it.

Um, the medicaid totals are included in the numbers through the exchange, but if all of your numbers are correct, we'd have more people obtaining insurance that we had uninsured to begin with.
Wow, so ACA was successful at insuring 125% of those uninsured individuals.. Thats hell of a plan there..
Or maybe you're just pulling figures out of your ass..
Oh, these people were previously insured, isnt that what I said? Yes, yes it is.. so they arent relevant to discussing the failures of ACA
Should we be shocked that anything that evokes the name of Baroke Obama doesn't work the way it is supposed to?
Yeah.....no.
Obamacare is the 2014 version of the Chevy Vega, and every bit as reliable.
