By many measures, the law has been a success: The number of uninsured Americans has dropped by about half, with 20 million more people gaining coverage.

Almost all these people are additions to the Medicaid rolls or heavily subsidized. Republicans had a plan which would have covered these people without taking over the entire health care system.

In Washington state the numbers were, 1/3 into expanded Medicaid, 1/3 eligible for traditional Medicaid (but were too dumb to apply), 1/3 bought a policy through the exchange. The number of people actually buying insurance that had lost their old policies was never released.
