The number was about 5 million in 2014.

You also had about 60 million insured by small employers - employers with under 50 employees - whose plans were no longer available starting in 2014 when Obamacare's small group insurance rules took effect. Many of those plans increased in price for employees because those plans were age banded. Even though the plans cost more, many of those employees priced out of their employer plans didn't qualify for a subsidy via the exchange since their employer offered coverage.

Hope you enjoy living in Schillville.
What's this have to do with Trump being the lyingest sack of shit who ever lived? As for the merits and faults of Obamacare, why is that the GOP doesn't have anything whatsoever to offer in terms of replacement? You were convinced that they had a viable plan, despite all evidence to the contrary.

What you characterize as Obama's Big Lie is actually a largely-realized policy objective for Obamacare (GOP sabotage notwithstanding), whereas Trump/GOP lies on the subject of health care have been complete, total and numerous. Life in gullible WhellWorld must suck bigly.

1,120 lies have been counted. No one is counting anymore since no one expects him not to lie. That' how you fight to get to the bottom of the approval scale, and all this before a full year.

I don't know. You wanted to talk about healthcare reform, I guess to deflect from the point I made earlier that Presidents should lie - according to CNN - especially when there's a Dem in the White House. Now, since you're digging yourself in a hole by talking about Obamacare, you want to talk about Trump's lying and the Repub's failed efforts at repeal / replace.

I'll talk about whatever you want, but lately you have the attention span of a gnat.

You're the one who first brought up Obamacare, dimwit. (Post #37).

Yes, as an example of a lie, in a post about lying. You, then, opened the debate about Obamwcare, going off-topic. Gnat-boy....

And I used your comment on healthcare to show how stupid your original point was. Trump lies 5x daily and you reach back years to find a single example of an Obama policy objective that was not 100% fulfilled (though nearly so) as an example of an egregious lie somehow equivalent to the over 1000 lies told by Trump.

Moreover, you, an avid supporter of the profoundly misogynistic Trump, started this thread to protest a true statement about Trump's preference for babes in stiletto heels to someone who looks like John Goodman in drag. I don't remember you getting your knickers in a twist about Trump's misogynistic insults to Heidi Cruz, Megyn Kelly, Hillary Clinton, Rosie O'Donnell, Carly Fiorina, Alicia Machado, and Mika Brzezinski (which seem to point to the underlying truth about the original statement about Sarah Hillbilly Sanders to which you object). Imagine Trump's misogynistic retort if some gal as unattractive as SHS criticized Trump.
