Consumer Reports Says 19 mm People Have Benefited From ObamaCare

And I will give credit where credit is due.  Heritage Foundation/RomneyCare/ObamaCare is working.  It is a market based solution that provides health insurance to every citizen, if each state does what it is supposed to do.

What did Consumer Reports find:

8 mm people enrolled through exchanges.

5 mm people bought individual plans directly off the exchange.

Medicaid and CHIP added another 3 mm people.

3mm young people stayed on their parent's policy.

Total 19 mm people have improved their health insurance situation thanks to Heritage Foundation/RomneyCare/ObamaCare.

And that 19 mm doesn't count the people in Massachusetts who got health insurance through RomneyCare.

And just think how large the total would be if certain large states had expanded Medicaid to take advantage of the Federals government's generosity in providing subsidies for the working poor, who Republicans say they want to help, but don't want to provide health insurance for them.  I though the GOP wanted to encourage people to work so they won't be takers.

And that does not count the mm's people who can now look for better jobs because they don't have to stay in their job to get affordable health insurance.  They can start their own business like I am and thousands of people are doing just that.  That is job creation and the capitalist system at its best.  Policies that work to encourage the small individual to improve their situation and not be a slave to the big companies that can afford to pay all the campaign contributions to the GOP.
