Was curious myself so I did some googling, seems like 5.45mil signed up for benefits and about 87% of those didn't have coverage before signing. So to me it seems like a lot of Americans who previously didn't have medical coverage now do, thanks to the program.-Source
Here's another source predicting that about 9mil will sign up in 2015, which was reduced from early estimates of 13mil.-Source
This one questions how many people signed up that were previously uninsured. But it doesn't suggest that "literally no one" benefitted. -Source
Well, to dispute this particular point, I have an entirely American friend on the new healthcare through their .gov website, and I personally have been searching on it for my 2015 healthcare since my work situation has changed since 2014. I'm not incredibly well-versed on the subject, so take this with a grain of salt, but what data I've seen has shown that people on Obamacare - if it must be called that - save more than they would otherwise or are now covered. I may be wrong.
They made some changes from the late 70's to the early 90's that were basically all scandalous and they got away with it and shit's about to hit the fan.
We're talking awakening one morning to a dystopia, random senseless riots nation-wide, and nuclear threats from terrorists, and a collapsed global economy.
All because of this exclusive group of scumbags, or those born into that group.
This is the Gilded Age on steroids, it's like the perfect storm of politics and capitalism.
No one will believe me. :'(

Looking at you.
No, they are in support of deceiving the "stupid" public. They support the Affordable Care Act, so they don't see themselves as part of the "stupid" public. The "stupid" public is anyone who is against what they want.
Ah but see what they don't realize is the ACA was a wolf in sheeps clothing and is going to screw them over just as bad, if not worse then the ones they think are stupid. Now they all have to pay for something and be taxes out the ass for it, while all the free loaders loaf off their tax dollars.

It seems a like a not great solution to a very big problem. As far as I can see it's better than what came before, but still shameful for a modern country.
