Let's look at the merits of your arguments one at a time.

Getting poor people covered. -- This is a good thing.
Increasing healthcare costs for poor people (which you have admitted will most likely happen.) -- This is a bad thing.

They canceled each other out. Case closed. Obamacare sucks. Let's move on.
If that makes you feel better then by all means, move on. Of course it's wrong but that's par for the course around here. I said that costs for insurance through the exchanges could go up. We don't know. The actuaries are working that out now that enrollment has ended.

The exchanges aren't for poor people or rich people or middle class people; they're just for people. Some people, the poor, can get insured through medicaid and won't be on the exchange.
