As I note.....all that will happen is what happened when Obamacare kicked in. Their policies were cancelled and they had to sign up for new ones.

There are very few that didn't have insurance pre-Obamacare or during Obamacare that won't have it post Obamacare.

I'm sure that's what they tell you on FoxNews.

But if you're interested in credible sources like the Department of Health and Human Services, that number is in excess of 10 MILLION:

Stay informed, my friend

I didn't read beyond this. I'm probably (outside of irresponsible spending) further left than you on many issues. I support Universal Health care.

Check out the percentage of uninsured. It's a neat graph!





See how it's LOWER now than before Obamacare. That there means it's working, kids!

If you're not interested in the simple and readily available truth, that's your business.

But Google is there when you need it.

Please pay special attention to page 3.....

https://www.cbo.gov/sites/default/fi...-ACAtables.pdf



Especially the number that have (-) next to it...

Also your graph starts in 2012, when was the ACA implemented...you are just being dishonest....why?

Yes, it starts before the ACA was implemented to give you a nice year+ baseline. The implementation of two stages of the ACA is clearly marked and shows an obvious drop in the percentage of uninsured.

Not sure what there is to misunderstand here?

As for your own link, it contradicts nothing in the graph.

Actually....its not the best graph, the latest numbers show that the number of uninsured has fallen even further.

Currently its 12.9%

In U.S., Uninsured Rate Sinks to 12.9%

Fox News has nothing to do with that.

The ACA was implemented in 2012?

My link contradicts everything in your graph....
