That isn't even counting the millions who have now lost their insurance either. Whether it's because of the law or because the law gave the insurance companies an excuse, it doesn't change the fact that people who were previously insured are now having to scramble to find insurance.

Here, lets give a more a better % rate: 0.0099166666666667%

Should it be alarming that so many of these 700,000 new applications are people trying to get Medicaid and not private insurance?

So, the 670,000+ is not really the ACA...it's medicaid....

Or will he push ahead even though the cost of insurance will skyrocket, forcing millions of American citizens to lose their coverage?

Never. His end game is single payer, so when those young ones don't fund the "game", the government will have to step in and bail everyone out.

He hasn't counted on americans not being willing to roll over and give government control over our healthcare.

Because he lectured them, that they NEED that insurance. And when he talks, he expects them to do what he says, because he's soooo brilliant.

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.

What's the chances that if we go single-payer that taxes will go regressive? I simply can not afford to pay a larger percentage of my income for the same exact insurance that someone else would be paying 1% for. Doesn't single payer hinge on the ideal that everyone across the board pays the exact same percentage regardless of income?
