If you posted it ... so did your hero on "his" website .... except he didn't add the bullshit .... "can't get insurance where they work" .. THAT WAS YOUR BULLSHIT. Here is what was posted at the White House website:
Counting the Uninsured: 46 Million or “More than 30 Million”?

"Last night, President Obama stated: "We are the only democracy—the only advanced democracy on Earth—the only wealthy nation—that allows such hardship for millions of its people. There are now more than 30 million American citizens who cannot get coverage."
"Today, the Bureau of the Census released the most recent data on the number of uninsured Americans. The
report,
Income, Poverty, and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States: 2008, reveals that 46 million people were uninsured in 2008, the last year for which there are data. These data are based on the Current Population Survey. With two different numbers, there has been some confusion as to which is accurate. Well, both are -- and the President's version is more focused on the relevant target population for health reform since it excludes unauthorized immigrants.
"The Census report indicates that of the 46 million uninsured individuals, 34 million were native born and 2.8 million were naturalized citizens. The report thus shows that there were 36.8 million uninsured U.S. citizens (native born and naturalized) in 2008. An alternative calculation includes legal immigrants, which based on a figure from the Pew Hispanic Center would bring the total to something like 39 million.
"Some ambiguity surrounds how to treat individuals who are already eligible for public insurance programs like Medicaid and S-CHIP but do not enroll in those programs, which estimates from the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured suggest may amount to millions of individuals. These individuals are uninsured but some interpretations would suggest they should not be counted among those who "cannot get" coverage. Subtracting them from the total would produce a number closer to 30 million.
To be conservative, the President thus stated that "more than 30 million American citizens" cannot get coverage."

Where does it say ... "can't get insurance where they work" .. ?????
So the target is roughly 30 million for coverage ... according to Obaminable in 2009! That was the focus group!
So contrary to you loud mouths ... the "3 mustard-tears" .... or would that be "stooges"? .... Obaminable cranked up his liberal bullshit, snake oil, salesmanship with the help of Nancy and Harry to visit a fraud on the backs of the U.S. taxpayers .. there were three lies to the U.S. taxpayers that were fundamental to the legislation:
1. 30 million people were to be removed from the uninsured rolls ..
2. the cost of insurance to the taxpayers would be reduced
3. medical costs would be reduced.
then add to that ..
4. would promote job growth
5. would not increase the deficit, but would reduce government spending, which would help the deficit.
In other words it was the "Correct-All" for the financial condition of the country and the taxpayers.
That's the snake oil!
BTW: Here is what the White House posted as to #3:
"Our Administration is committed to bringing down health care costs. That’s why we’re moving quickly and carefully to implement the Affordable Care Act and deliver the benefits of reform to the American people."

But it ain't gonna happen ... you 3 stooges!

Read the fine print on why premiums are increasing, sevices decreasing, employer benefits decreasing.
One can't see the "pea" if one only looks at the shells.
"On a per enrollee basis, premium growth is expected to reach 7.1 percent in 2014, up from 4.1 percent in 2013, as a result of more generous health plans being offered to people eligible for government subsidies. For 2015-21, growth in private health insurance premiums is projected to slow somewhat and to average 5.9 percent annually, in part due to an expectation that some large employers of low-wage workers will discontinue coverage, resulting in their employees gaining coverage through Medicaid or the exchange plans."
So because of the Act employee based insurance will be less available ... so there will be an increase in the original 30 million projected by Obaminable. ... he Obaminable will be packing his bags when it happens.
Just like he did in Chicago while "organizing communities" ... he didn't "finish" the job.
