The 7 million new sign ups isn't indicative that 7 million more people are insured, hardly. I'm one of those people who lost their insurance and has to re-sign up. Everyone I know who was self insured in California, was dropped by their company.
It's a huge number of people who had their plans dropped and then had to re-sign up, likely for more expensive plans. I'm sure on the big business level there are losers as well. As in for some companies obama are forced companies to lay people off, move them from full time to part time, lower other benefits like retirement matching to pay for the added costs of obamacare, etc etc etc.

Right there with you, My plan was eliminated, and had to get a new plan, costs me a grand a month for my wife and I.
Among the really fucking stupid is because it is required by law, I had to choose a pediatric dental plan, for which I was enrolled with no one eligible, got a bill for $0.00, was sent a card with the info, and the full coverage booklet.
