In response to "I expect people to see that they had healthcare and now they don't. I expect them to see that the GOP brought the suit and are the ones that want them" by Krusty

How many people in our country have healthcare that previously did not, due to ACA?

How many people in our country do not have healthcare that used to, before ACA?

I'd like to put a 2 cent sentence in: My healthcare costs went up after ACA - it had been going up anyway every year - Inside Out Pippy Jun 25, 06:45 2
- My ACA costs went up by almost 50% last year. I never had an increase like that when I was getting it through my job. - Krusty Jun 25, 06:49
- I agree. - Strongbad Jun 25, 06:47
About 8-11 million, nearly 25% have healthcare that previously didn't. I don't know the answer to the second but I'm trying to find one. -- nm - Krusty Jun 25, 06:44 5
- Thanks. I've been wondering about #2 for a while. Never seen a number. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 25, 06:45 2
  - I posit that if the number were significant, we'd know. There's a reason we only heard about specific example cases in the furor. - ty97 Jun 25, 07:01
  - I don't know of anyone that lost coverage but I'm sure plenty did or just can't afford the increase in costs. -- nm - Krusty Jun 25, 06:50
- That was through 2014. The numbers should be higher after the new enrollment period earlier this year. -- nm - Krusty Jun 25, 06:45 1
  - With the medicaid expansion made optional it hurt the overall enrollment and lowered the number of people to be covered. That was a big mistake and - Krusty Jun 25, 06:47
