As for the uninsured, in case you didn't notice.....that number will go down.

I'm sorry it ain't gonna be as fast I would like.
But it will be faster than it would have been before.

CDC: 59.1 million lacked insurance.....
The report also found adults without health insurance were three times more likely to skip or delay care because of cost. Last year, more than 40 percent of adults aged 18-to-64 years who had chronic diseases such as diabetes, asthma or high blood pressure and didn't have insurance admitted they went without care. Such delays can lead to poorer patient outcomes and higher costs. One reason, according to Frieden, is that people without insurance are much less likely to have a regular doctor.

There are stark differences in health insurance coverage in state-to-state comparisons. In Massachusetts, because the state has strong policies on health care coverage, only 6 percent of adults are uninsured. In Texas, 29 percent of adults have no health insurance, according to the CDC.

The CDC says the Affordable Care Act is expected to cover up to 94 percent of people under 65 years by 2019. That's an additional 32 million Americans.
