Sure, but it's the same answer you have received before. Because many people want single payer, and feel like the ACA didn't go far enough. There, now you won't have to ask that same old question--to which you already knew the answer--ever again. You're welcome.
I'd wager they might change their minds when they hear their 6% FICA will become 15% FICA
The administrations own actions show that they think its a POS, or they wouldnt keep delaying it..
And now we have posters shouting for single payer system, and then claiming that because they want to void ACA for a completely different system, that means its a success.

I have yet to see one ACA supporter who also supports single payer explain how we pay for single payer. It will be all magic. They will once again try to force the rich to pay more. But the facts are that single payer is a shared responsibility.
Sure those making 100k may pay more. But those making 20k will be paying the same percentage like FICA. If you making more than ax amount $100k? Whatever limit. Than you can opt out for private insurance.
So how many people making 20k, 40k want to pay around 8% health taxes?
Again, after the link was pumped by the comedy channel.. yeah, their objective..
I clicked on a few of the people that were singing its praises. Each and every person I clicked on had a photo of themself posing with Obama. Seriously......
So people are ready to dump Obamacare already, but to you, that means its a success?
No, it means that people--like me--who couldn't get health insurance before are very happy to now be covered. And we'll also be happy when we finally get to single payer, but either way, having insurance is better than not having insurance. Go read that page. Unless you have no heart, you can't help but be moved by many of those stories.

Those numbers were combined back then..That was for early January. The numbers for today are more like 12 million. Then if you add on people who bought healthcare outside the exhanges its in the 17-20 million range. The latest numbers from Rand and Gallup show the numbers of uninsured has dropped from 17-20% to 14 to 16%.
