There was nothing preventing those 2.5 million young adults from getting insurance.
Obama and Democrats were put into office to get affordable, quality medical treatment for everyone. Not protect and preserve the failed employment-based health insurance racket. Both employers and American workers wanted that to end. Who didn't want it to end was the insurance and pharmaceutical and hospital industries along with the AMA because It's government sanctioned racketeering. Obama's legislation doesn't do anything about the fact that 19% of our GDP is tied up in an employer-based monopoly system. Ending employment-based insurance was what everybody wanted. Now especially, with record unemployment and under-employment.
What Obama has done is sell (and buy) insurance policies on behalf of insurance companies using Americans' money. Over-priced, lousy insurance policies, at that. That's a pretty neat trick, by the way -- To sell and buy. It's like playing chess with yourself.
Having insurance doesn't mean getting health care. BIG DIFFERENCE.
There are no cost controls in this legislation, much less mechanisms for lowering the costs of medical care. No controls over co-pays, no controls on deductibles.
Obama's legislation not universal, it has no chance of expanding to cover everyone, and it leads to the end of all public healthcare programs (Medicaid, Medicare, SCHIP, CHAMPUS, veterans care, etc.). That's a fact.
