>> How does that number compare with the number of people who had their policies cancelled because of ObamaCare?

It is a hell of a lot fewer. It is starting to look as if, for the next 12 months at least, fewer people will be insured than were before Obamacare took effect. After the business cancellations, this thing is going to be seriously ugly. Although many of the cancellations were followed with, "Just check this box to get our new plan at twice the price", I'm guessing not many did that.

You know I have been loud in my criticism. But even I could not have imagined it is this bad. Not only are fewer people covered, the coverage is lousy, and now we find out that 80% are getting subsidies, the demographics are all wrong. While the so-called "corridor" will provide a little money to cover up for the mess, at the end of the day Obama is going to have to go to Congress demanding more money.

Hard to see anything good happening here unless you're a newly covered Medicaid. Who has to get health care from a nurse because doctors won't see you.
