Lot's of Trump votes are - right now - in the process of being generated by the Zero Care debacle. What a trainwreck?! The American people have had ENOUGH of the crooked, destructive left. Rigging opinion polls won't save The Beast either. It's just pissing people off even more and motivating them to get out and vote for Trump. 40 something guy in our neighborhood told me he hasn't voted since he was 18 but got registered and is going for Trump. This election is "a wave" unlike anything we've seen in our lifetimes. Iso

Are the Republicans right? Does the ACA not work? No matter the metric — access, quality, or cost — the ACA has undeniably been a success. It may not be perfect — but it is still a success. On access: Over 20 million people have gained coverage because of the ACA. The uninsured rate is now at 11 percent, the lowest ever. And an additional 21.3 million Americans would be insured if all states had expanded Medicaid as anticipated under the ACA. On quality: Between 2010 and 2015, hospital readmissions dropped by 8 percent, meaning that over 565,000 readmissions have been avoided by Medicare beneficiaries. Rates of most hospital-acquired infections have also dropped significantly. On cost: While total costs have not gone down, cost growth has substantially leveled out. Since passage of the ACA in 2010, per capita Medicare spending has actually declined. A recent analysis by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Urban Institute shows that total national health expenditures are expected to be 11 percent lower by 2019 than projected. Similarly, the Kaiser Family Foundation reported that the average premium for families with employer-sponsored health plans has seen a 40 percent reduction in cost growth since enactment of the ACA. Clearly, six years after its passage, we are now better off with the ACA than without. realclearpolicy.com
