The bill was a turkey that was passed over the objections of the majority because it was more important to have a political win for Obama and the Dems than it was to actually govern.
Just because you see a good outcome for yourself does not mean there will be a good outcome for everybody, or even for the majority.
I'm waiting for the insurance companies to announce the rates for 2015 in a couple months, if the increase is what some are predicting there will be blood on the walls down at the DNC come November.

Yep. He seems to think half benefitted, half didn't benefit. What he doesnt realize is, it's plausible that very few people benefitted, and a lot more got hurt by it.
Higher costs, Less Jobs, Same amount of people covered. Look, the implementation has been in effect for how long and what do the #s suggest: It will hurt job growth, costs will go up, and there's likely no tangible impact on the number of new insured. All of a sudden its going to turn around.
The costs are lower for him and his family, so he's seeing everything thru rose colored lenses, but maybe, just maybe, if his bill went up by double or triple to the point where his employer couldn't even cover his wife anymore so they all went uninsured, he'd be singing a different tune.
While we're on the subject, let's also not give Obama credit on the economy. He's been trash for the economy. Now ever his supporters, who are befuddled by "anemic" GDP growth are pointing to all the regulation. The only thing holding this economy up is 0% interest rates for the longest time, and money printing machines.
