>> now all the millions of uninsured are insured..

This is a lie. There are probably fewer people covered today than there were on October 1 of last year. (You would know that if you could do arithmetic). And even the rosy scenario of the CBO puts 32 million still without insurance ten years hence.

32 million is more than 10% of our population -- which means less than 90% of the population will have insurance ten years hence. When this began, 85% had coverage.

So, all this regulation, all the killed jobs, all the cuts in the quality of health care, at the end of the day will yield no more than five percentage points gain in the number of covered persons. 1/3 of the 15% who actually needed help will have gotten it. And even that is subject to significant doubts.
