I have posted before about the woman and her 8 year old daughter I have been providing insurance for.
Getting signed up was a pain in the ass but where before I was paying $339 a month for a 5000/10000 deductible policy with no pharmacy benefits. She is paying 92 bucks a month now with a $500 deductible and has pharmacy, dental and glasses foe the kid.
I went to pick up a prescription for them the other day and the bill was $500, I showed them her card and the bill was zero.
Even with the low sign up numbers there are still a few million folks in their same boat. Not a single one will vote for any candidate pledging to end Obamacare.

There are clear Obamacare “winners,” predominantly the age 55-65 “old,” the sick (with pre-existing conditions) and the single near-poor without dependents (who will get Medicaid).

I am sympathetic the plight of those who cannot afford medical care. But it is the dishonest and fiscally unsustainable funding of the wealth transfer that funds these new benefits that is the problem (new and hidden taxes as well as overcharging the young and healthy for their “insurance”) and the job-killing economic disincentives to employers to hire and provide health plans and disincentives to young men to buy plans.

The Obamacare Titanic is already sliding beneath the waves, IMO! Whether the new “winners” vote for the Dems or not, it is doomed. (Say that as a retired CPA financial analyst and CFE fraud examiner)
