This year’s sign ups and last week’s case decision are not related. Like at all.

People need health care. Someone will pay for it. You either figure something out using existing successful global models or society will pay tons out of taxpayer pockets. People will go to the hospitals. Whether or not they have money for it.

It's as if Americans like the ACA despite Republican warnings that it was created by satan to destroy our souls. I'm still patiently waiting for the 'replace' part of their 'repeal and replace' promise.

Not much longer!

You all should really put that it was a Texas judge who ruled it unconstitutional so people know that it's stupid.

Where’s the $2,500 savings per year that Obama promised repeatedly when selling America the ACA? Still waiting. My premiums went up by $1,400/yr and deductible tripled. Co-pays doubled. Such BS. Need nationwide competition like auto and life insurance, dismantle the oligopolies.

Sure Zer0bamacare beats expectations. They destroy all the other insurance that they were unable to compete with. That's a no brainer. they mandate a law and there surprise about the outcome. They stink.

Um why is this still referred to as the 'Obama health law' versus it's real name, The Affordable Care Act or ACA? We don't say 'The FDR social security law' when referring to Social Security or the LBJ Voting Rights Act when referring to that law.

It's declining...everyone hates it.

Good. No need for the mandate then, clearly.

OMG only the media can spin this. They so badly want Illbamacare to survive that they’ll spin a negative into a positive bc it’s what they want.

❌why isn't the media covering this? Our law makers are standing with Israel by taking away freedom of speech from the American people and quietly passing laws against the constitution. This shall not stand Where are the impartial journalists❓

See folks, even they can't figure it out.

Oh give us a break ap spinning for dems as usual

Affordable Care Act Sign-Ups Lag Behind Last Year’sAnalysts attribute the dynamic to a lack of public awareness about open enrollment, repeal of the federal penalty on people who don’t have health insurance and the proliferation of health plans that don’t comply with the Obama-era law. Well the Rebuplicans are master's at pointing fingers at people they have been learning since the Clinton administration If it costs thousands per month how is that 'affordable' health care. 🤔 Why don't you do journalism and ask experts who's to blame?

States Ask for Clarity on Judge’s Ruling on Affordable Care ActDemocratic-led states urged a federal judge Monday to clarify that the Affordable Care Act is still in effect and can be enforced while they challenge a ruling that a central feature of the health law is unconstitutional. GOP attorney generals think it's ridiculous. 5th circuit is going to throw it in the trash Globalists, Cultural Marxists, Democrat Party, a compromised Supreme Court Justice have put great Columbia through hell, all to get more power for the real agenda to destroy Christianity, by entanglement in bureaucracy. Cheaper to just pay the health care bill for the poor.
