   I don't have solid numbers, but I feel justified in saying that the number of deaths/yr from lack of health coverage has gone up since the passing of ACA/Obamacare.

   While the ACA is orders of magnitude better than what we had before, it says something that the number of deaths/year has not gone down significantly, and has likely gone up instead of down.

   This shows that the solution was wildly inadequate compared to the scope of the problem it claimed to solve.
