“Policy advisers at the Health & Human Services Department estimated that 9 million to 9.9 million people would enroll through the exchanges — or only a slight increase over the 8 million that the administration says were active at the end of the first enrollment period this April. The Congressional Budget Office, which is the government’s official scorekeeper, had predicted the law would need 13 million customers on the exchanges.”

Except the revised facts say only 7 million are on the exchange now, and it is quite likely that is all that there are that are too effed up to get insurance any other way.

Remove the extended Medicaid enrollees from that and you have at most a couple million that have health issues that prevented them from affording insurance.

So the best healthcare system in the world is destroyed to force taxpayers to buy insurance for an unlucky few.

This problem could have been solved much cheaper and easier.
