A lot of the people who have Obamacare are responsible citizens who are buying insurance for themselves without any subsidy.

Then they should be THRILLED to see it repealed, since the bulk of the program has been a big wealth redistribution of wealth.

"A lot of the people who have Obamacare are responsible citizens who are buying insurance for themselves without any subsidy."

Using the government's own figures (https://aspe.hhs.gov/report/health-insurance-marketplace-2015-average-premiums-after-advance-premium-tax-credits-through-january-30-37-states-using-healthcaregov-platform), 87 percent of the people buying Obamacare insurance receive a subsidy. Of the 20 million people that Obama brags are on Obamacare, most are really receiving Medicaid. Only about 7 million actually pay for insurance. Thus, only 13 percent of 7 million people actually pay for Obamacare insurance and get a subsidy. That's 900,000 people. - 0.3 percent of the US population. Of those, most had insurance BEFORE Obamacare, and paid less for it than they do now.
