What are estimates for the number of people to whom coverage will be extended (who would otherwise have been uninsured) and when will that coverage begin? Please cite sources.
--------------------
According to WHOM? Last I heard, Nancy Pelosi said after the law was activated (which is actually 2014) we'd have 96% of the country insured - as compared to about 85% now. HOWEVER. I think we're going to have closer to 75% insured, if that - a decrease - because the way the law is written, insurance companies are going to have to INCREASE their rates substantially, and people have to buy the insurance FIRST, for a year, before getting 'tax credits' on their income tax returns, to "help pay" for the insurance - which would be at increased rates. More people will be uninsured, because fewer people will be able to afford the coverage, and employers will be discouraged from offering benefits to their employees (as the fines will be LESS than the employer's cost to contribute to the increased rate insurance plan). Net result? The politicians will propose "national health care" as a solution, as their other "solution" backfired. Hopefully the sheeple won't fall for it.
