The U.S. population is roughly 320 million. At it's very peak, obamacare only insured 18 million who previously couldn't get care of afford care. Now, people are forced to be "insured" on paper or pay a fine but the average person buying a plan can't afford their deductibles of $1,500+ when they used to be sub-$500 so for all practical purposes even more people are uninsured.
>Stacey and Eddie Albert lead pretty healthy lives. She's a nutritionist. He's a personal trainer. They rarely go to the doctor, other than their annual physicals.
>For years, they were covered by Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey. In 2013, they paid about $360 a month for a plan that met their needs.
>That all changed the following year, when Obamacare took effect. Their premium shot up to around $650 a month for a policy that came with pediatric dental coverage and maternity services -- benefits they didn't use or want since they don't have kids. They ended up dropping the plan after several months and even went a year without coverage for the first time in the decade they've been together, exactly the opposite of what Obamacare was supposed to do.
