Obama said this several times:
“I don’t have to explain to you that nearly 46 million Americans don’t have health insurance coverage today. In the wealthiest nation on Earth, 46 million of our fellow citizens have no coverage.”
He said it dozens more times, including in June 2013: “We are not a nation that accepts nearly 46 million uninsured men, women and children.”
YET The following article
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires insurers in the individual market to cover anyone who wishes to enroll and restricts how insurers can vary premiums based on enrollee characteristics. Premiums cannot vary at all based on health status or gender. Premium variations based on age are limited to a ratio of three to one (meaning the premiums for a 64 year-old is three times the premium for a 21 year-old).

So the WHOLE premise of ACA was .."cover the 46 million Americans that don't have health coverage"
IS THAT RIGHT????
So who makes up those 46 million Americans that don't have health insurance???
A) 10 million according to the CENSUS are NOT CITIZENS!
Proof: Income Poverty and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States 2009 - Income Wealth - Newsroom - U.S. Census Bureau
So NOW after ACA passed Obama admits... yup 10 million are not citizens! That left 36 million!
B) But why didn't Obama admit the failure of his administration to enroll 14 million people eligible BEFORE ACA? People that were at the poverty level to be covered by Medicaid BEFORE ACA!
So if Obama's administration was more effective then there would NOT be 14 million uninsured!

The Census agrees with the above and says they have UNDERCOUNTED those people!
That leaves 22 million!
3) 18 million under 34 don't NEED insurance. Can afford employers' plans as they make over $50k.
CRISIS OF THE UNINSURED 2009
So if the above article SAYS the whole premise of ACA was to cover "46 million uninsured" YET
10 million are not citizens, 14 million should have been enrolled by Obama's administration and
HERE the above article is counting 18 million people that don't want, don't need and can afford their employers' health plans! This whole destructive ACA for how many that are legal, and want coverage?
4 million! THAT's IT!!!
So why the charade of "46 million" that Obama
1) now admits is 36 million that Obama forgets includes
2) 14 million HE SHOULD HAVE COVERED under Medicaid BEFORE ACA and
3) 18 million that HE wants to be insured THAT don't want insurance! Don't NEED insurance!
PHONY PHONY number that influenced ACA to pass by just 7 House votes!
And NOW we find out how complicated this crappy phony ACA will affect all of us:
Speaking on H&R Block’s quarterly earnings conference call, CEO William Cobb said that the company was already taking steps to train its tax preparers based on the draft forms that the Internal Revenue Service has released to comply with Obamacare.
“As expected, the forms are very detailed and can present significant complexity, depending on a filer’s coverage status during the year, income level, and household composition,” Cobb said. “Depending on their situation, there are instances where filers may need to file multiple new tax forms and complete additional worksheets.”
“Depending on the type of exemption, the process to claim it could be quite cumbersome and time consuming,” Cobb said.
In addition, many taxpayers who received subsidies to purchase health insurance through Obamacare could be forced to repay the federal government if, due to a miscalculation of their income, they received larger subsidies then they were entitled to under the law.
