It was a insurance reform bill that increased coverage about 7-8% nationally, many of whom were 26 year olds that least needed the help. The cost of health CARE is still going up, is unaffordable to roughly 20% of the country, even those insured, and we all are paying 3- 5 times what the rest of the world is paying.

...pushing the "7-8% nationally" claim: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=242497

The health care law increases the percentage to to 95 percent from 83 percent (the current level), that is 12 percent. About 16 to 17 percent of Americans lack insurance.

The number of insured will grow, and especially under the scenario Potter describes.

And yet they came out with a bullshit poll saying 47% of Americans think it should be repealed bigdarryl Mar 2012 #1
