According to that link, 1.6 million Americans lost their insurance in the first half of 2006 alone because their employer dropped it due to affordability. Since then, we have gone into the longest and deepest recession since the Great Depression. It is extremely unlikely that those employers have restored health insurance and that no others have also dropped it to cut costs. Yes, unemployment has increased massively under Obama and it isn't shocking if there are a more without insurance. But if the stimulus is working as you have suggested, this is a temporary condition. We certainly do not want to ditch the best health care system in the world for what is, in effect, a temporary condition. You see how this works?
