Dumb Democrats applaud its success
If you're going to act like a broken record, at least post correct information. The uninsured rate is the lowest it's been since at least late 90s. At no point prior to the implementation of Obamacare was it lower. It was never lower under Bush, even during his best years :

Of course the first part made sense.

You ran around blaming people for not getting insurance, and then excused your friends for not having insurance..

And why was their policies being cancelled?

You are whats wrong with this country.. it doesnt matter that people lost insurance provided you and your friends can "give me", and if others doint all join in the cruisade to just take from the govenrment, there is something wrong with them..

You started here posting self pity because your friends didnt have insurance pre ACA.. WHY? Ooh i bet you cant tell us without blaming someone else..

Of course the number will climb. Enroll or pay a tax is a good way to ensure a number will climb.
Tough choice, how horrible is it for people to be required to have health insurance.

We only had 36 million uninsured before ACA? Now we all know that is a lie. You should run for president.

I did take it upon myself to insure myself long before government got involved. You know, the responsible thing to do.

I liked my healthcare insurance and Obama said I could keep my healthcare insurance, period.

oops, Obama lied and you support that as long as you're thrown a bone.

Biden did once say "this is a big effffing deal" regarding Obamacare. In all fairness that wasn't a lie.

Why would you start the graph post ACA unless you are trying to hide pre ACA figures

Lets expand that out and show real figures, shall we?
http://www.commonwealthfund.org/~/me...xhibit-1-l.gif
Note the 50 million figure INCLUDES illegals, an estimated 14 million at the time.. That leaves 2010 number at 36 million americans..

Last year this number was at 41 million americans..

if you dont like the figures that sucks for you.. We climbed from 36 million to 41 million uninsured americans and you APPLAUD...

Was your employer providing you with insurance or did you get your own policy? If you went out and got your own, did it meet the minimum requirements of ACA?

Why don't you also subtract 14 million illegals from the current number? Your math smells funny.

The problem with our current Obama Administration is only his most dedicated followers now believe anything that comes from Washington.
The man, his policies and his data is only a deception to the majority of Americans.

My Insurance will be going up 22% for 2015. That's on top of the 40% it's gone up the last 18 months.

That's all that I'm concerned about.
