Four years after passage of the Affordable Care Act, we can move past partisan rhetoric and see what impact this law is having. As it turns out, we now have more Americans with health insurance, and three-quarters of enrollees say they’re happy with their health plans. Meanwhile, budget studies suggest that we’re reducing the long term deficits by reducing waste in the health care system. This is all good news, and worthy of examination. First, let’s examine the issue of how many people have health insurance. In Alaska, more than 7,000 people got new health insurance plans. That’s part of a national trend that has increased the number and percentage of Americans who have health coverage. In fact, we have reduced the percentage of uninsured individuals from 20 percent to 15 percent, a major expansion in health coverage. Many of these health plans have new provisions, like guaranteed coverage of preventive care, maternity care and hospital care. According to surveys, 78 percent of individuals with health plans are happy with them, including 74 percent of Republicans. In the past, many of us have been frustrated with insurance companies that canceled coverage when enrollees got sick or that denied essential care. It is very positive to see that more people are enrolled and that people like the care they’re getting. This improvement in health coverage — more people with better plans — is improving our quality of life. According to surveys, 58 percent of people say they’re better off since the roll out of improved health plans, while only 9 percent are worse off. www.adn.com/article/20140720/see-through-smoke-and-youll-see-obamacare-working |

My plan's premium went up, as did the deductible(4x it's original value!!), and the coverage is less complete. Guess that makes me a 9%er. LOL.

The chief reason the middle class is shrinking isn't the Pubs, it's the Dems. The Pubs were *never* about the middle class; they were *always* about the rich. At one time, the Dems were about the middle class, correctly recognizing them as the backbone of society. Then, in pursuit of political power, they threw their support behind people whose votes they could buy with free stuff. |

Nah the Dems continue to be about the middle class, and unfortunately the Pubbies have forgotten about the middle and lower class. The ACA was about health insurance for the middle and lower class, minimum wage increases, tax reform targeted for the middle class. Are these Pubbie interests? No they are not. What free stuff is it you keep talking about? Who are those who are getting all this free stuff? Come on I know you can do this. |

Their minds are close like a steel trap. Well the fact that this program might actually end up working might really cost their side a lot in the future. They are putting a lot of collateral on being right. |

Please. The ACA was about selling the middle class to BigInsurance. You can thank the Dems for that.
I know... I know... you'll argue that it was a Republican idea. The very people you think sell out the middle class.

No, it's been your heros, the Merry Marxists, that have done all that. Jacking corporate taxes up to the highest in the world, imposing useless, insane regulations, with no thought, no plan, and no intelligence, and then attacking anyone that succeeds as "greedy" tends to cause companies to move to someplace they are actually wanted. |

No, only the parts of the middle class that are now on government subsidies, thanks to Dem crimes and stupidity. |

Some want too much information on a forum and it is best not to show too much. They do, and there are a couple on here just rabid enough to want to cause harm to "the other side".
I can think of 3, 2 left and 1 right.
A low percentage of rights and a very high percentage of lefts, And I don't wonder why it is that way for a second
