They keep on harping on the "millions" who will lose coverage. Of course, Obamacare did cause millions to lose coverage. And coverage does not mean access when you have high premiums and high deductibles. Obamacare is discouraging access.
More than three quarters of the people who have been added to the insured rolls are on Medicaid, expanded and regular. The taxpayer picks up the costs.
80 million are on Medicaid now (including the CHIPS Program). This is a single payer program along with the 45 million on Medicare. Obamacare was always intended to be the bridge to single payer health care for all. Its implosion will trigger calls for a national single payer system. That was the plan all along.

Why Obamacare’s ‘20 Million’ Number Is Fake
http://dailysignal.com/2017/01/13/why-obamacares-20-million-number-is-fake/
The Obama administration claims 20 million more Americans today have health care due to Obamacare. But that is based on six years of survey data, not actual sign-ups. The reality is that when you look at the actual net gains over the past two years since the program was fully implemented, the number is 14 million, and of that, 11.8 million (84 percent) were people given the “gift” of Medicaid.
And new research shows that even fewer people will be left without insurance after the repeal of Obamacare. Numbers are still being crunched, but between statistics released by the Congressional Budget Office and one of the infamous architects of Obamacare, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Jonathan Gruber, it’s estimated that anywhere from 2 to 7 million people now on Medicaid would have qualified for the program even without Obamacare.
