I have a feeling you didn't lose your insurance plan or your doctor since this happens to very few people. DO YOU CONSIDER 4.7 MILLION "VERY FEW"? MY DAUGHTER AND SEVERAL BUSINESS OWNER FRIENDS ARE INCLUDED IN THAT NUMBER
http://news.yahoo.com/policy-notifications-current-status-state-204701399.html SINCE THERE ARE NOW 214,000 AND RISING DOCTORS WHO ARE REFUSING TO SEE OBAMACARE PATIENTS, OUT OF 894,000 DOCTORS IN THE U.S., BTW THAT IS 24% FOR YOU LIBERAL ARTS MAJORS, HOW CAN PEOPLE NOT BE LOSING THEIR DOCTORS?
http://dailycaller.com/2014/10/27/over-200000-doctors-avoiding-obamacare-plans/ One of the things I really, really like is the fact that every Obamacare horror story the wingnuts came up with were so quickly and thoroughly debunked as outright lies that Conservatives were forced to give up trying to invent new ones. LIKE DEATH PANELS?
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/11/12/Four-Times-Obamacare-Lie I like the fact people can't be turned down for pre-existing conditions. I LIKE THAT TOO, HOWEVER SOMEONE HAS TO PAY FOR IT I like the fact that insurance companies are no longer allowed to sell junk policies. I know Conservatives never feel more patriotic than when they are paying big corporations money for substandard services or products, but under Obamacare there are now minimum coverage requirements for all policies. SO LACTATION SERVICES FOR 60 YEAR OLD MALES SEEMS LIKE A GOOD IDEA TO YOU? I "LIKE" FREEDOM OF CHOICE, NOT BEING HERDED LIKE LIVESTOCK. I SUPPOSE WE ALL LIKE DIFFERENT THINGS THOUGH Maybe my last sentence wasn't exactly correct. Conservatives probably never feel more patriotic than when they are denying services or basic human rights to people living in poverty. I have to say I am very happy those who previously couldn't afford healthcare for their families are now able to thanks to Obamacare. THEY STILL CANNOT "AFFORD" IT SINCE THEY ARE NOT PAYING FOR IT, THEY ARE BEING SUBSIDIZED. ANOTHER WAY TO INSURE AN UNDERCLASS THAT ALWAYS VOTES FOR THEIR HANDLERS, E.G. THE DEMS Here are seven quick points about why I like Obamacare. As LOTB said "Mission Accomplished!" 1. More people have healthcare, the number of people without insurance fell by something like 10 to 12 million, once you add in the young adult who got coverage because of the law's under-26 provision. Meanwhile, hospitals are reporting that they are seeing fewer and fewer uninsured patients. MANY YOUNG HEALTHY ADULTS DO NOT WANT NOR NEED HEALTH INSURANCE, NOW THEY GET TO SUBSIDIZE ANOTHER SEGMENT OF THE POPULATION 2. People who are getting health insurance are almost certainly better off. It seems that people who have insurance are better off than those without. People who get health insurance from the program are significantly less likely to experience financial distress and significantly more likely to report better mental health. ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE NOT THE ONES PAYING FOR IT 3. “Winners” probably outnumbered “losers” in the new marketplaces. The law also provides tax credits, which offset part or all of the increase for most people, and it actually reduces the price of coverage for people who once higher rates because they were relatively old or in poor health. As a result, many people paid less for their insurance in 2014 than they had in 2013. And we all know how much Republicans love tax credits. Some of the best evidence I've seen comes from a survey, by the Kaiser Foundation, of people who had previously bought their own, individual insurance policies and had to switch plans because those old plans were not compliant with Obamacare regulations. Of those people, 46 percent of respondents said they ended up paying less, while just 39 percent said they were paying more and 15 percent said they were paying the same. Throw in the fact that most of these people were also getting more comprehensive benefits—and that the survey didn’t even include people who, because of their low incomes, were able to qualify for Medicaid—it seems very likely that there were more winners than losers. Oh, and don't forget that, in Commonwealth Fund surveys, 68 percent of the people buying marketplace plans rated them as either "good," "very good," or "excellent." AVERAGE INCREASE OF 32% AS OPPOSED TO ""$2500 DECREASE IN PREMIUMS" ESPOUSED BY OBAMA. EVERY PERSON I KNOW WHO LOST THEIR INSURANCE IS PAYING MORE, SOME UP THEM ALMOST DOUBLE.

Premiums in the marketplaces aren't rising quickly, and more insurers are jumping in to compete. Once the websites were working and enrollment in the new marketplaces increased dramatically, some of the law’s critics fell back on a different argument: Only older and sicker people were signing up for coverage. Carriers would jack up premiums or abandon the marketplaces altogether. Both predictions have proven spectacularly untrue. Multiple studies have shown that, between 2013 and 2014, premiums inside the marketplaces are barely rising. PERHAPS BECAUSE THEY ARE ALREADY SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER? 5. Employer premiums also aren't rising quickly. With all of the attention on the marketplaces, it’s easy to forget that the vast majority of people don’t use them. Most working-age Americans get health insurance through their employers. The law’s critics had predicted Obamacare would disrupt their coverage, too, by causing premiums to skyrocket. Once again, that prediction turned out to be dead wrong. DO YOU THINK THE FACT THAT THE EMPLOYER MANDATE HAS NOT YET TAKEN EFFECT MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THAT?

Say what you will about Obamacare’s architects, but they took their fiscal responsibilities seriously. The law calls for new spending, since the government now has to underwrite the costs of both an expanded Medicaid program and all those subsidies for people buying health insurance. But for every dollar in new spending, there is at least one dollar in either new revenue or new spending cuts. The net effect, according to the CBO, is to reduce the deficit. A MASSIVE NEW GOVERNMENT ENTITLEMENT PROGRAM IS GOING TO REDUCE THE DEFICIT?? JUST LIKE SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE, EH?
