PPACA: The Early Numbers Don't Look Good

[VolAgent]

The positive from that report is the number of children under 18 has been improving (no thanks to Obamacrap) while adults over 18 are getting worse. Probably too early to tell, but the 2010 numbers show no improvement whatsoever for children.

The numbers also stop in September when carriers were not allowed to deny coverage for children.
