The point is numbers will 'climb' because it is a mandate --- enroll or get taxed. The 'climbing' is not any measure of success. In fact, the lower than expected enrollments indicates more of a flop.

I dont need to subtract 14 million from a number that only counts americans if I'm only counting americans..

The number of uninsured Americans has fallen by 8 percent to 41 million people in the first quarter of this year, according to an article in

http://www.nola.com/politics/index.s...americans.html

What part of this is difficult for you? The fact that the numbers dispute how successful your idols policies are?

We are ONLY discussing americans since illegals are not covered by ACA..

Ooh, cause stupid american voters dont know the difference between americans, and illegals.
Then why would the same graph count illegals one year but not the next year? Sounds like you are working with incorrect math.

If your policy was grandfathered in for a period of time, that would mean it didn't meet the requirements and you were given an extended period of time to correct that. Clearly you chose to ignore that fact.
lol, so now you are calling insurance companies liars. Tell that to my insurance company who grandfathered my policy in because it met ACA standards.

You people are so desperate.

That was the point of it being a requirement, I thought we were all on the same page with this.

I've cited numerous sources validating my figures, you've provided nothing other than..

your friends were too dam lazy to get insurance pre ACA and everyone else now that doesnt have it is to blame, but your friends are great now that millions have lost insurance but held no blame pre ACA...

its a walking talking spinning posts full of babble from you while you ignore millions lost insurance and tell them to fk off

Yet you subtract 14 million from the 48 million of uninsured Americans.

Yep, my policy met the requirements, since I met requirements (as stated by the termination letter), my policy was grandfathered in until december 31, 2014 after which I lose my insurance.
So you have plenty of time to look for another possibly better plan... Are you doing that or will you be like someone who cries & blames ACA & refuses to look for another plan even though you have ample time & resources to do so?

Do you know what the term "grandfathered" means? Based on this post is doesn't sound like you do.

I'm citing actual figures and sourcing them, many of them you've applauded in the past as signs of success..

You've provided NOTHING to indicate they are wrong other than the usual "waaa, you're picking on Obama baby"
