President Obama's health care law will push 7 million people out of their job-based insurance coverage — nearly twice the previous estimate, according to the latest estimates from the Congressional Budget Office released Tuesday...
But the non-partisan agency also expects fewer people to have to pay individual penalties to the IRS than it earlier projects, because of a better method for calculating incomes that found more people will be exempt.
Overall, the new health provisions are expected to cost the government $1.165 trillion over the next decade...
Again, if we just did the smart thing and went for UHC like all the reformers wanted in the first place, all of this could have been avoided. Instead the got the watered down, profit driven, Romneycare plan. Aren't you proud of yourself?

Not me, I'm was against The 100% Democrat Obamacare from the get-go, when I realized what it contained. And no, "all the reformers" didn't want this - or else that is what they would have done. It's not that single-payer couldn't pass due to opposition from Republicans, single payer couldn't pass due to opposition from Democrats. This bill was 100% the result of deal-making within the Democrat caucus. Own it.
And have rationed care and medical technology from the stone age? No thank you.
Gosh. Goodness Gracious. Well who could have predicted that?!?
Oh. Wait. Lots of people predicted this, to the collective ignorance of the la-la-law-we-can't-hear-you-obamacare-is-wonderful-no-matter-what's-in-it crowd.
Kinda like the same people who supported PPACA, are likely to be the same that oppose cuts to Medicare, even though PPACA had cuts to Medicare.
Remember Florida 2000 when Democrats were complaining that the ballots weren't fair because a disproportionate percentage of their electorate was illiterate or senile?
Hm. It occurs to me. Let's not let them desperately try to derail a discussion of the amazing and catastrophic failure of Obamacare and the resultant increased hardship and negative consequences for the American people into another theoretical debate on how much they love UHC.
Obamacare is a destructive gargantuan leviathan of regulatory code and destructive incentive structures seemingly almost designed to destroy our health care system. They should be forced to answer for that.

Let's hope the American people are smart enough to realize that this is the road that socialized medicine takes us.

Correct me if I'm wrong (stupid statement I know). An employer decides not to offer health care. The employer therfore pays a fine to the government. The employee is then forced to purchase a plan from an exchange. The exchange health care plan is subsidized by the government. Does'nt it all come out in the wash?
And have rationed care and medical technology from the stone age? No thank you.

Precisely my argument against a UHC.
I loved the "Own it" comment. That was money bro.Not me, I'm was against The 100% Democrat Obamacare from the get-go, when I realized what it contained. And no, "all the reformers" didn't want this - or else that is what they would have done.

It may be precisely your argument, but its US ego-centeric view of the world.
In my last job, I was responsible to 4 business acquisitions in Canada. One of the most common employee questions I got was a fear that we would impose our US healthcare on our Canadian employees. Of course, that was not possible, but the fear was noteworthy.
Perhaps you might expand your horizons by considering this alternative view?
