Researchers Call New Obamacare Results ‘Remarkable’

"The newest data, just a year after the full implementation of the Affordable Care Act, should make even the staunchest capitalists feel warm and fuzzy toward the controversial piece of legislation. The data shows that people are paying their bills.
Healthcare bills have long been the number one source of bankruptcy in the U.S. That fact is bad for everyone. Medical providers get pennies on the dollar. Taxpayers get stuck with higher medical bills and with the cost of the bankruptcies.
While it’s too soon to reverse the bankruptcy trend, since courts typically see bills that are much older than just one year, the research from the Commonwealth Fund indicates that tides are turning.
The facts that they found are that as more people have insurance, more people are going to the doctor and more people are paying their bills."
