The devil, is as always, in the details.

28. That's a bogus figure

The reality is that "access" to coverage is always going to be any number you care to name.

Ultimately, all the spin in the world doesn't change the reality of what the ACA is. At best it will convince some for a time, but in the end reality always wins out. And the reality here is that this is and always has been one of the most diabolical pieces of legislation rammed down our throats in a half century of decline.

Under the ACA the American people, every single person in this country, will be forced by LAW to purchase insurance from these companies or they will suffer whatever legal repurcussions necessary to force compliance.

It doesn't matter if people want it or not, they have to buy it
It doesn't matter how high to co-pay goes, they have to buy it
It doesn't matter how expensive it gets, they have to buy it
It doesn't matter how poor the service becomes, they have to buy it
It doesn't matter how little is actually covered, they have to buy it
There are no real restrictions on price increases, they can and will do whatever they like
There are no real guarantees of service any more than there are today
There are no guarantees that the essentially non-existance penalties today will not be prison tomorrow
There is no guarantee that the insurance you have "access" to will be affordable
There are no guarantess of anything at all, except one very important thing...

The insurance companies are now guaranteed your business at any price they choose to name.

Nothing like this has ever been law in our nation's history. It makes Citizen's United look positively progressive.
