Did you know that 39 percent of Republicans still believe that undocumented immigrants can get Obamacare? And 26 percent of Republicans still believe there are death panels? And only five percent of people actually know one of the most important facts of Obamacare: that it's costing less than expected—42 percent of all voters, Democrats and Republicans, get that one wrong.
On this fifth anniversary of the law being signed, it's a good opportunity to review the false predictions and the facts of the law's first five years. Here's just a handful of Republican prediction failures:
becoming clearer the party of stupid encases not just the politicians and right wing but the ones who vote to perpetuate this scourge on us all.  maybe a law should be passed you vote for them it's your problem those of us who choose life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness can live by those laws that allow us to live. but it's not the real world that is why we need to fight as hard as they do they do it and the end game is not even in their favor, we do it with a better life for everybody in sight.

republicans have created a perfect political environment for themselves an electorate that doesn't pay attention and votes because they are told to, courts all the way to the big one on their side billionaires use them to buy the gov't they are selling us out of, if your republican what a wonderful world.

Failed Prediction #1: Americans won’t enroll in the ACA […]
Failed Prediction #2: The ACA won’t meet its enrollment goals […]
Failed Prediction #3: Insurers will want no part of the ACA system […]
Failed Prediction #4: The economy will suffer terribly because of ‘Obamacare’ […]
Failed Prediction #5: Even if Americans enrolled, they won’t pay their premiums […]
Failed Prediction #6: Even if people pay their premiums, the flawed ACA structure will send premiums soaring […]
Failed Prediction #7: The ACA won’t reduce the uninsured rate because it will only help those who already have coverage […]
Failed Prediction #8: The ACA will lead to a “net loss” on overall coverage […]
Failed Prediction #9: The ACA will lead to higher deficits and a weaker fiscal footing for the nation […]
Failed Prediction #10: Americans will end up hating the coverage they receive through the ACA […]
That's a whole lot of fail. Just take a look at this list of 20 statistics proving how the law is working to demonstrate how humungously Republicans have failed.

• Nearly 30 million Americans have gotten health insurance under Obamacare.
• The rate of uninsured adults has dropped to 12.3%. […]
• Number of adults without health insurance in 2013: 41 million. Today: 30 million.
• Percentage of insurance exchange customers who'd previously been uninsured: 57% […]
• Number of times Congress has voted to repeal Obamacare (so far): 56
• 63% of Americans say Republicans have no alternative to Obamacare. […]
• Americans who could lose subsidies for federal insurance exchanges if the Supreme Court rules against them later this year: 13.4 million
