But only about 6.4 million people signed up through healthcare.gov. Yes that is a lot but not when compared to how many people vote. There are also some on state sites but that can be blamed on the states themselves.

They got away with not expanding Medicaid in red states. Odds are they would get away with this until people actually saw the damage for themselves.

I agree it would be a disaster but the (R) base will hail it as a victory.
