If you’d told me five years ago that on March 23, 2015, the Affordable Care Act would exceed expectations on every possible metric, including reducing the nation’s uninsured rate by a third, I’d say “Obamacare” would look like a great success. And fortunately for the country, that’s exactly what’s happened.
Failed Prediction #1: Americans won’t enroll in the ACA
Failed Prediction #2: The ACA won’t meet its enrollment goals
Failed Prediction #3: Insurers will want no part of the ACA system
Failed Prediction #4: The economy will suffer terribly because of ‘Obamacare’
Failed Prediction #5: Even if Americans enrolled, they won’t pay their premiums
Failed Prediction #6: Even if people pay their premiums, the flawed ACA structure will send premiums soaring
Failed Prediction #7: The ACA won’t reduce the uninsured rate because it will only help those who already have coverage
Failed Prediction #8: The ACA will lead to a “net loss” on overall coverage
Failed Prediction #9: The ACA will lead to higher deficits and a weaker fiscal footing for the nation
Failed Prediction #10: Americans will end up hating the coverage they receive through the ACA
