Sure. You've got to be a critical thinker. I'm reluctant to give that philly.com article the same weight as a non opinion article because the author is using that page space to advance his ideas for better health care. He's not reporting and the data he used to draw conclusions is apparently out of date.
He has good ideas though and I'm all for continuing to work on ACA to make it better. They did it with Romneycare and that's been a success. Of course, they had some cooperation so politically everyone was invested in making a go of it. ACA doesn't enjoy that kind of support.
This is a pretty interesting idea from that article. I wonder if this could work.
Establish a date certain by which the health-care industry will transform from a fee-for-service payment system to a per member, per month payment. Because we financially incentivize volume, we perform more than twice as many MRI exams and knee-replacement surgeries per person than the average of the next 10 industrialized countries.
All I know is we need to keep this subject on the front burner for another 7 months.
Obamacare really is a huge success (or will be come November)...
Are you kidding? The postman that got caught throwing mail in dumpsters because the weather was bad didn't get fired, why should she? You can't fire gov't employees, the best you can do is promote them to the point that they can't interfere with normal operations.

I fixed that lie for you. If you look at the numbers in your original post they dont even add up. Is it 6 million or is it 9.5 million or whatever arbitrary number you liberals think looks good for the day?As the law's initial enrollment period closes, at least 9.5 million previously uninsured people EDIT 7 million people who were lied to and then kicked off their insurance have regained inferior coverage. Some have done so through marketplaces created by the law, some through other private insurance and others through Medicaid, which has expanded under the law in about half the states.
The tally draws from a review of state and federal enrollment reports, surveys and interviews with insurance executives and government officials nationwide.
...
Precise figures on national health coverage will not be available for months. But available data indicate:
• At least 6 million people have signed up for health coverage on the new marketplaces, about one-third of whom were previously uninsured.
.
Enrollment numbers mean NOTHING when you have to enroll ie register on the website to even get a quote. The only numbers that matter are the number of people who have actually paid for their premiums at the 1, 3 and 6 month marks. That Democrats cant or wont release these figures should tell you something.
