When the Democrats rammed Obamacare through Congress in 2010 without a single Republican vote, the CBO said that the unpopular overhaul would lead to a net increase of 26 million people with health insurance by 2015 (15 million through Medicaid plus 13 million through the Obamacare exchanges minus 2 million who would otherwise have had private insurance but wouldn’t because of Obamacare).


Fast-forwarding five years, the CBO now says that Obamacare’s tally for 2015 will actually be a net increase of just 17 million people (10 million through Medicaid plus 11 million through the Obamacare exchanges minus 4 million who would otherwise have had private insurance but won’t, or don’t, because of Obamacare).

The CBO report gives a pretty well reasoned explanation for this...and it's not cynical as whatever POS site you got that chop summary from. Here's a taste...there's more on declining cost...but you won't post that I am guessing.

The combination of the smaller projected loss in employment-based coverage and the conclusion that fewer people were uninsured before the coverage expansion under the ACA (and therefore that fewer people would be likely to be uninsured in the future in the absence of the ACA) led CBO and JCT to project that somewhat fewer people will take up coverage through the exchanges and Medicaid
