The Lie
Cancer Patient Who Lost Insurance Due to Obamacare Demands Apology from Harry Reid | Mediaite
On Wednesday, Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) took to the Senate floor where he insisted that all of the “horror stories” involving the Affordable Care Act’s implementation were “untrue.” One of those supposed lies that Reid singled out was the story of Julie Boonstra, a Michigan-based cancer patient who appeared in an Americans for Prosperity ad after she claims she lost her insurance due to the ACA.
On Thursday, Boonstra appeared on Fox News Radio with host John Gibson where she demanded that Reid apologize for impugning her character.
“I hear the story last night,” Boonstra told Gibson. “I demand an apology from Senator Harry Reid. I absolutely demand an apology.”

“He is saying, in my opinion, that I am a liar and that the people who have come forth who have had, you know, a negative outcome due to Obamacare, that we are liars and we are telling tales, our stories are untrue,” she continued. “That’s not the case.”
“Obamacare – it drastically has affected my life,” Boonstra concluded. “I believed the president when he said that if I had a health care plan that I liked, I could keep it. That was the lie.”

I wonder how many formally insured people will die due to this, or go bankrupt at the least.

You are right, its their fault that their policies were canceled by the government.
That then tried to force them to pay more for crap insurance that no doctors are going to take without being forced into it.
That is something to laugh about, isnt it?[)]

Sorry vic but you are wrong here on this one bud, I was being forced to sign up for some garbage insurance with ridiculous monthly rates associated with ridiculously high deductibles. Why pay insurance in the first place? Fuck that shit, if i end up in a hospital let them bill me and if they want money they will have to receive what I can pay for x amount of time. If not they're total loss. In the end my wife's insurance through work came at 1/3 the cost of the decent coverages available through the healthcare market.
Anyways my point was that many people got fucked on this one, having to pay ridiculous high rates for shitty insurance coverage. While many said fuck it aswell and didn't meet the deadline with intentions.

Obamacare RAND Study Uninsured Rate ESI - Business Insider
Survey Estimates Net Gain of 9.3 Million American Adults with Health Insurance | RAND
People shift from one type of health insurance to another for a number of reasons, such as job changes or marital status changes. Our survey work can't say for certain which of these shifts are due to the ACA and which are due to other factors, but we can draw some limited conclusions. A more detailed report describing the results summarized below can be found here.
Of the 40.7 million who were uninsured in 2013, 14.5 million gained coverage, but 5.2 million of the insured lost coverage, for a net gain in coverage of approximately 9.3 million. This represents a drop in the share of the population that is uninsured from 20.5 percent to 15.8 percent.
The 9.3 million person increase in insurance is driven not only by enrollment in marketplace plans, but also by gains in employer-sponsored insurance (ESI) and Medicaid.
Enrollment in ESI increased by 8.2 million.
Medicaid enrollment increased by 5.9 million. New enrollees are primarily drawn from those who were uninsured in 2013, or those who had “other” forms of insurance, including Medicare, retiree health insurance, and other government plans.
According to our estimates, 3.9 million were covered through the state and federal marketplaces as of mid-March 2014. This figure does not fully capture the enrollment surge that occurred in late March.
For most people the ACA has not changed their health insurance coverage. Among adults, 80 percent still had the same form of coverage in March 2014 as in September 2013. Notably, more than 100 million had ESI before and have ESI now, while 26 million remain uninsured.
Of those who were previously uninsured but are now insured, 7.2 million gained ESI, 3.6 million are now covered by Medicaid, 1.4 million have signed up through a marketplace, while the remainder gained coverage through other sources.
Our estimates suggest that only about one-third of new marketplace enrollees were previously uninsured. While this percentage seems low in absolute terms, it is slightly higher than an earlier figure reported by McKinsey & Company.[1]
Among the 7.8 million people who were enrolled in off-marketplace individual market plans in early 2014, 7.3 million were previously insured; 5.4 million were previously insured through an individual market plan.
Less than one million who previously had individual market insurance transitioned to being uninsured. While we cannot tell if these people lost their insurance due to cancellation or because they simply felt the cost was too high, the overall number represents less than one percent of people between the ages of 18 and 64.

So this makes fking over millions of good people ok? The only thing about the aca that exist is the damage it has caused. It's dead and has been dead it is a mirage of millions of dollars that makes it appear to exist.
Once again I ask you Doctor Scally (are you accepting aca insurance?)
Uninsured Rate Drops More in States Embracing Health Law
Medicaid expansion, state exchanges linked to faster reduction in uninsured rate

These data, collected as part of the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, are based on Americans' self-reported insurance status in response to the question, "Do you have health insurance coverage?"
Yeah, that appears really scientific.
Nice try, but I can wead willy willy well.They probably got the rest of their stats straight from the White House.
Its a shame that Gallup would do this to their reputation.
