Let me get this right... he gets 5 million people’s insurance cancelled, they go out and replace it, and he’s taking credit for that. Class act... all low.

Actually, according to surveys from the Urban Institute Health Monitor,

Roughly 2.6 million people whose plans were cancelled as a result of Obamacare.

So, what happens to these folks who saw their health insurance policy cancelled?

According to the Urban Institute researchers :

“While our sample size of those with non-group health insurance who report that their plan was cancelled due to ACA compliance is small (N=123), we estimate that over half of this population is likely to be eligible for coverage assistance, mostly through Marketplace subsidies. Consistent with these findings, other work by Urban Institute researchers estimated that slightly more than half of adults with pre-reform, nongroup coverage would be eligible for Marketplace subsidies or Medicaid.”

And that's the best-case scenario, assuming that the numbers are real and that the insurance actually translates into healthcare, both of which are likely false.

This truly is the MO of a sicko abuser. Beat up, rob, starve, demoralize, and humiliate the captive, then hold out a hand of compassion. Or healthcare, as it were.
