ORIGINAL: MsMJAY Republicans in Collapse as Obamacare Enrollment Skyrockets in December The entire Republican strategy has been to discourage people from enrolling in the ACA Judging by these numbers, they have completely failed. Republicans are basing their entire 2014 and 2016 strategies on running against Obamacare. Their plan is backfiring, and they are setting themselves up for an epic backlash. The most damning part (emphasis mine) Obama Approval up 5 points in week following Obamacare Deadline Now that the ACA website is repaired, and millions of Americans are signing up, the media’s endless drumbeat of negativity has temporarily stopped. Without the Republican fueled Obama bashing from the corporate media, the president’s approval rating has gone up, and his disapproval rating has gone down. …Obama’s improved poll numbers also reflect the fact that Obamacare is working. Enrollment surged in December, and yesterday HHS announced that 6 million people now have healthcare coverage thanks to the ACA. as for your first link, I would expect NOTHING else from a site that labels itself as, "POLITICUS USA REAL LIBERAL POLITICS" if the republicans were having a square dance that site would run this headline "REPUBLICANS ARE RUNNING AROUND LIKE CHICKENS WITH THIER HEADS CUT OFF" then claim it wasn't a dance at all but just them running in circles in PANIC! did someone mention RELIABLE SOURCES? so lets SUM THE WHOLE THING UP, prior to obamacare we had 30 million uninsured, assuming 6 million lost their insurance, we now we still have 30 million uninsured with 3.9 million more on welfare! Anyone who so called "lost" healthcare can still get healthcare. That is a provision of the ACA. Whether or not they choose to sign up is their prerogative but they still have access to healthcare. As for welfare. I could care less if they are rich or poor. They should have access to healthcare. I know some people think that the poor should just be allowed to die off either from starvation or illness, but in civilized society we try to keep that from happening. I never said they couldn't still get healthcare, the real question is CAN THEY AFFORD the higher cost of the new healthcare... don't know about you, but most of the people I KNOW make X amount of dollars per month, and are living at the edge of their means, SOME just barely surviving on what they make! tack an extra 100 or 2 onto their monthly expenses and they are NOW in the RED each month thats not what I call AFORDABLE BTW, I live in a fairly poor area, inner city st Louis, pop aprox 3 million. and I have never meet nor even heard of ANYONE EVER either starving to death or dying of a curable disease due to lack of INS.. I do know of a few people who FROZE TO DEATH though! not that INS would have helped them with that though
