One Step Forward, 2+ Million Steps back

Let's see: even with skyrocketing rates, CO-OPS closing, policies cancelled and networks shrinking, at least we can say that the ObamaTax has met its primary goal of insuring more folks. After all, prior to its passage there were billions and billions of uninsured Americans, now that it's been the law for years, all of that's behind us.

Um....

"A full 32.3 million non-elderly people do not have health insurance despite the costly health reform act and the individual mandate tax penalty"

But how can that be? After all, these new plans are perfect: free birth control, guaranteed issue and immediate coverage of pre-existing conditions - including pregnancy! What's not to love?
Lots, apparently.

Oh, and about that lede:

"A full 32.3 million non-elderly people do not have health insurance despite due to the costly health reform act and the individual mandate tax penalty"

Fixed for accuracy.
