>> How do we know this?

Well, we know, for example, that a vast number of Americans will lose their jobs as a direct result of Obamacare. CBO has projected 2.5 FTE jobs will be lost; this has been discussed ad nauseum on the health care thread, so I won't argue with you about it here. We know that's going to happen. CBO has, undoubtedly, understated these numbers substantially, but there are at least 2.5 Million people around the country who are injured by ACA. Before you count the increased cost of coverage, the inability to handle higher deductibles and out of pocket spends, etc.

And there are those -- probably a couple million as of now -- who DID have insurance on September 30 of last year who don't have it now, as a result of their policies having been cancelled and the Obamacare plans being unaffordable for them.
