Yeah that chart is complete garbage. And it not breaking down anything. Its just a pie chart some dude made off of guesstimates of generalities summarized in a dumb downed cartoon publication for liberals from a short conversation between a liberal author and an obamacare friend, supporter and architect.

The most ridiculous part of the whole thing is how its divided up. The 6% that is split 50/50 as either losers or those without consequence, is specifically refereeing to people who already have insurance through the individual market place, NOT people with insurance through work (most Americans).

Secondly, its impossible to know what Gruber is referring to when he says 80% of people are unaffected, but he is definitely not talking about ANY of the people who are receiving cancelation letters in the mail from their group insurance providers. Not to mention the fact that at least 15% of that 80% HAVE TO BE people who are covered through Medicare.

And 14% of people are clearly not clear winners. Of the 14% or so of people with or without insurance, many of them don't want it. To broadly state that all of them are "clear winners" is completely disingenuous.

This graph isn't a reflection of anything more than off the cuff optimistic liberal water cooler talk.
