Obamacare improved key health-care measurements for millions of Americans, reversing a troubling trend, a new study strongly suggests.
The study found marked gains in the number of people with insurance—as other research has repeatedly confirmed—as well as improved access to doctors and medications, affordable health care and good health status after implementation of the Affordable Care Act.
But the research published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association also noted that the the gains in health coverage and access to care for low-income adults were particularly striking in states that expanded their Medicaid programs under the ACA to include more poor people.
The improvements nationwide came after all six measures used in the study "showed worsening trends in the 2012-13 period, particularly between March 2013 and September 2013," according to the study, which looked at the experiences of about 500,000 adults age 18 to 64.
All but one of those measures—days limited by poor health—improved significantly after Obamacare plans went on sale on government-run exchanges in October 2013...
Well so much for the GOP talking points of 2010 and 2012.
I guess in 2016 they will have to focus on Hillary Clinton's e-mails, defunding Planned Parenthood, and arguing that the Iran nuclear deal is going to lead to World War 3.
And trust me I am not being facetious, they will indeed focus on all three of those, and they are just as full of shit as the claim that Obamacare would make health care worse in this country.
The side defects of Obamacare are finally revealed, and they're all positive.
