Here's How The ACA Is Working: 19 Million Americans Have Gained Coverage!
Steve Marmel
Democrats running for election are starting to embrace Obamacare as people realize - some begrudgingly - that they are better off with it than they were without it.
People who get their news from right-wing justification sites? They're gone.
People who can't admit when they've wasted two weeks on a flawed "patriot" will never admit they've wasted years and years fighting something that's helping.
So it's seven months to the election. Seven months to protect gains and defend against loses.
Let's get to work.

No doubt this will send him into orbit! And to think...the GOP wants to deny those 19 million people affordable health care coverage!
So it makes it extra better when I give him the Good News! I am all like It's Good News Week! 
Her.
Him.
as I tell him how well Obamacare is working! Then when they bring up Foxnews, I like to remind them that it is rated as the worst channel for news and information. 
...more death panels.

Judging by the fruit of their labors, it seems it is morally acceptable to many Republicans, especially to Republican lawmakers at the state and federal level as well as many governors in the Greedy Old Party, for Americans who suffer from chronic health conditions and lack insurance coverage to just go ahead and die.
Writing for TPM Tuesday morning, Dylan Scott highlighted Governors Nathan Deal of GA and Sam Brownback of KS as examples of Republican state executives who are refusing to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. Not content with opposition to the ACA from the Governor’s Mansions, their respective GOP controlled legislatures are working to cement into law the states refusal of health care for its poorest citizens. Georgia House Speaker David Ralston views this as an “opportunity to stake out the issue as policy.”
Sitting in high office across our nation are men and women who earnestly believe it is the best policy for their citizens to lack access to health coverage. There, ladies and gentlemen, are your death panels.

The Kaiser Family Foundation issued a report last week entitled, The Coverage Gap: Uninsured Poor Adults in States That Do Not Expand Medicaid. It doesn’t paint a pretty picture for folks like Charlene Dill. The eligibility level for Medicaid is $27,000 a year for a family of three. That is, if your family earns more than $27k annually you are NOT eligible for Medicaid. That number is the federal level. State levels are often much lower, especially in states ruled by Republicans who have sold their collective souls to oppose President Obama and his signature domestic policy.
The KFF report goes on to say that, nearly five million American adults living below the poverty line have no access to health care because their governors and other elected representatives believe with a nearly religious fervor that it would be burdensome upon the citizens of their states to ensure that no one suffers needlessly. Twenty-four states have dug in their heels on this mean spirited policy, and just as the Speaker from Georgia said, it is a policy. A political policy to make sure, with purpose and with malice aforethought, they put in place laws to prevent poor citizens of this nation from receiving the necessary medical attention that may save their lives. Twenty-four governors calculate that it is a better idea to deny health coverage to people earning less than $27,000 dollars a year. Remember, that figure is for a family of three. The average cut off salary in these states is $9,000 a year. If you make over $9,000 a year you are on your own for health insurance in most red states.
The numbers of uninsured poor are staggering.
Florida 763,890
Georgia 409,350
North Carolina 318,710
South Carolina 194,330
Tennessee 161,650
Kansas 77,165
Texas 1,046,430.
