From the LA Times article:

Quote:
At least 6 million people have signed up for health coverage on the new marketplaces, about one-third of whom were previously uninsured
Does this make about 2 million who did not have coverage and 4 million who did ?

Billions of dollars for 2 million people. If it was a good product, there would be 20 times this amount.
These 2 mil are just law abiders who felt forced to sign up. The 30 million who are still uninsured will stay uninsured.

In addition, here's what that slimy rag also says:

Quote:
The Affordable Care Act still faces major challenges, particularly the risk of premium hikes next year that could drive away newly insured customers.

Yes, what a great plan.

Again, this is what you pin your hopes on that next year there will be premium hikes, next year, next year is the year that the ACA will implode. LOL

Unlike liberals, I don't pin my hopes on more people facing financial issues due to some b.s. law that does nothing to bring down the cost of health costs. If you want to bring those down, why don't you allow people to buy over state lines? How is it saving anyone money if their insurance costs more now than what they had before, is more coverage than they want, or need, and will go up again? How is that better? The only people who are rooting for people to pay more and more and more, are liberals.

This is simply not the truth. What do you read to reach your conclusions?

The specifics were later out in a campaign memo, which called the $2,500 figure a “best-guess” assumption.
But Obama’s pledge came with a very large asterisk: He was not saying premiums would fall by $2,500, but that health-care costs per person would be that much lower than anticipated. In other words, if overall costs–not just premiums–were expected to rise by $5,000 by 2012, they would only rise by $2,500. Yep, that’s what Obama’s pledge meant
