I'm not "a Ivy League" economist, and you obviously aren't either. Did you not hear any of Gruber's comments on this? It was all a sham (no pun intended) from the start. Totally based on lies. You probably even bought into the idea that this was about healthcare. It's not. It's about control. Dependent people are dependable voters.

Whenever anyone starts off with "idiot" ... "you can't read" ... etc., etc., in response to a legitimate comment ... what follows is utter bullshit and they are trying to legitimize it by marginalizing the poster and what the poster wrote. It's an age old game of those with limited mental resources and even less knowledge base with which to produce any thoughtful discussion.
Little Shammoooo needs to "step back" and sit on the bench awhile.
The ACA was "originally" touted to "cover" an estimated 50 million people out of around 300 million living in this country aka about 1/6 of the U.S. population. That number was reduced mathematically by logical deductions of groups, like those who weren't going to sign up anyway and those who didn't qualify (or couldn't because of "status" in this country), and when it was finally digested the numbers were around 11 million, may be 15 million in a stretch. So, all this shit was over 15 million people.
"We" were also told it would increase jobs and reduce the deficit, as well as reduce health care costs. We were also told we could keep our doctor if he liked our doctor and we could keep our insurance if we like our insurance.
It was the "center piece" of Obaminable's Presidency, and it should be passed without knowing what was in it, so we could see how it worked.
And here is the "final gem":
