there are lots of people who were carrying junk insurance and whose plans also got MUCH better Many companies provide totally useless health 'insurance', just so they can seem to provide it for potential employees. It's not until you use it as an employee that you realize how crap it is. My last employer was one of these, with insurance so crap, I qualified for and got Obamacare.

>>One more time...there is no increase in uninsured...anywhere, any state, cooperative or hostile, by any way measured...and there are lots of people who were carrying junk insurance and whose plans also got MUCH better... No has said there is a net increase anywhere. But you cannot create a gross increase in Uninsured, as ACA clearly did, then take credit for subsequently decreasing it as part of your success. It is misleading. I am surprised you are having such a hard time understanding this concept. As to junk insurance, unless you can quantify it, I call it a lie. When you say a lot, no one knows what it means. Just like the medical bankruptcy claims and lifetime caps, these claims were used to exaggerate the need. You cannot escape the fact the American public was lied to to sell this turkey and we are still being lied to today about its efficacy.
