Enrollment is up, but ObamaCare still faces uncertainty, politically and otherwise http://t.co/g1JYguGmk2 via @foxnewspolitics

In response:

@FoxNews @foxnewspolitics How many young? How many older? How many on Medicad vs. actually paying for insurance?

— Morris W. (@Orangeblood2012) January 1, 2014

@FoxNews @foxnewspolitics Good? Six Million Lose Insurance, One Million Sign up for O Care. Hmmm Explains that Common Core Math.

— Lose Lindsey (@hammetjohn) January 1, 2014

@FoxNews @foxnewspolitics The conversation needs to get past fodder to: how many purchased, what age, what risk profile. #taketheblindersoff

@kksheld @BreitbartNews How many will be completely subsidized? Old and poor waiting for gov check before writing gov check.

In response:

@thehill @HugginsRachel Should be noted Sotomayor is an Obama Appointee.

— Eric Michael Garcia (@EricMGarcia) January 1, 2014

@thehill @HugginsRachel.. The Supreme Court should have never upheld Obamacare, considering their exempt bc they don’t want it

Amanda Claire Wellener I tried to sign on several times, I do not qualify. Thanks for nothing.

Linda Brock At first it was called “The Affordable Health Care Act” as the Healthcare Marketplace, I do not qualify. Thanks.

Billy Gilbert i have been trying since October and it is still not clear if my daughters are covered. This is a mess. Important documents have to be sent via snail mail when it could be sent as an electronic file. What a disaster! Finally it says 3.9 million LEARNED they are eligible, not enrolled. That makes the actually number 2.1 million. I NEED healthcare, but I dont need lies and playing with numbers.

Shot Mai I still can’t come to terms with individual mandate ! Very scary precedent to let governments force people to buy product they may not want !

Kelly Deuchar I’m happy about the affordable care act. As a person living with a progressive genetic disease it’s nice to know I cannot be dropped from insurance due to a pre-existing condition or meeting my life time limit of care. I’m guessing most of you complaining are healthy.
