Three quarters of the non-Medicare related reduction in uninsured (since I don't consider a lot of the Medicare signups a real reduction) were from people going onto employer plans.
Weren't the R's trumpeting the claim that employers were dropping their insurance coverage of employees??
IBM eg, dumped over 300,000 retirees...

2013 Uninsured40.7
To Employer-5.1
To Medicaid-2.6
To Individual+0.2
To Exchange-1.4
To Other-0.3
2014 Uninsured31.4

It is a fact that there were 40.7 million uninsured in 2013 and there are 31.4 million uninsured now.....it's OK if you want to blame Obamacare...
