"The uninsured rate means nothing"- Quite possibly the stupidest thing I've heard about Obamacare since the Death Panel BS.Originally Posted by Atlanteax
The uninsured rate has dropped to 9.2%- which I believe puts it at the lowest level in the history of the US. And as much as you people love to bitch and moan about "affordability"- a recent Kaiser Foundation survey found that folks with insurance through the ACA were significantly more likely to say their insurance was affordable and to say that their health needs were being met than those who got their insurance through other means. And to be blunt- if all of suddenly insurance had become to much harder to afford **the insurance rate wouldn't have dropped**. People weren't passing up insurance before for kicks- they were doing it because they couldn't afford it.
The ACA was a huge success. You people were wrong about it bringing about some doomsday. You were so very, very, VERY wrong. And instead of looking at the fact that millions of people are now covered for life-threatening illness when they weren't before, and the fact that people are no longer being pushed out of their insurance because they hit their lifetime maximum coverage and saying "Thank GOD- lives are being saved", you're bitching and moaning and trying to find any problem you can possibly manufacture because of your inability to let go on a stupid argument that never held any weight. Admit you were wrong. Rejoice at the lives saved. Move the hell on.
