ACA was supposed to insure every american and cut premiums $2500
Did it do anything it was supposed to do?
How about this. Its keeping Medicare from bankrupting the country. Plus it reduced the premiums for people with Pecs' and made insurance more affordable for 5 million or so that got subsidies.
What an absurd graph. Each year medical cots increase, after ACA they didn't increase as much as before. so if you show 2012 and 2013 you could see the deception.
First and foremost when people heard the term "healthcare reform" they were under the impression that meant reigning in the cost of healthcare. Secondly those are substantial increases.

we had 36 million uninsured americans when it passed, 41 million currently and will NEVER get below 30 million per the CBO...
So we only made it more affordable for 5 million, while uninsuring 5 million, and its only expected to cost ONE TRILLION DOLLARS..
yeah, like I said, idiot approved.
This is what the CBO said in May.
About 24 million or 25 million people will obtain health insurance each year through exchanges;
About 12 million or 13 million people will be added to the Medicaid and CHIP rolls;
About 6 million or 7 million fewer people will obtain insurance through their employer;
About 5 million fewer people will have nongroup or other coverage; and
About 25 million fewer people will be uninsured.
You are off by 5 million. Also the total of going from about 50 million without insurance to 25 million uninsured means 25 million more have insurance. Also Obummercare wiped out 16 trillion of Medicare spending over a 75 year period.
I received my 2015 Medical info yesterday. Well surprise,surprise my costs stayed the same. My max payout and dedutions stayed the same. There are some additions for wellness as well as service. I still have my Doctor. Its amazing.
The ACA is working fine
As the GOP and their allies continue to lie, I will never vote for a Republican again.
Correction...'the PPACA is working fine"

Reason: edit
I think the OP is lying about two things. First, I don't believe his costs have remained the same. Second, there is no way he EVER voted for a Republican before, so the implication that he won't vote for a Republican "again" is another big lie.
