    Maps Show The Success Of Obamacare

    As today is the first day of Obamacare re-enrollment, the NY Times has created a nice visual that clearly illustrates how successful the program has been:



    As the maps clearly show, there is one particular area of our country where insurance rates have not fallen dramatically and, not unsurprisingly, they correspond to the states that refused Medicaid expansion. Obamacare has resulted a 7% decline in the numbered of uninsured adults. This has probably saved thousands of families from bankruptcy and millions of dollars for the country in reduced emergency health care costs.

    Today, Donald Trump vowed, if he is elected, that he would call a special session of Congress to repeal and replace Obamacare. Of course, that really means just repeal Obamacare as there is no Republican plan to replace it at all. Do I really need to comment?
