Yea, "No Impact" should really be 80-90% in all three categories.
True, unless you have kids and/or a pre-existing condition then you are almost sure to be in the 'helped' category.

But the worst thing is that there is a massive partisan divide in the 'hurt' category. I would love to see how those people said they were hurt. Sure some (very few) people come out losers, but there is no way that it is weighted by party to such a significant amount.

I am a perfectly healthy 27 year old female and my employer already offers insurance (no subsidy)—I have never opted into my employers health plan because I can not afford to. Since the ACA took effect...I still can't afford it, but am being forced to buy it anyhow for the benefit of private insurance companies the country. How have I benefited? How am I better off being forced to spend ~100$ a month I don't have for a product that I don't need (or even believe in ethically)? If anything, it's a big part of those 'helped me' Democrats who are deluding themselves—it's mostly healthy millenials who got the shaft.

You have health insurance, which you needed. 

There is no such thing as being healthy and not needed health insurance.  Healthy people get hit my buses or get a chronic illness, and suddenly, they're no longer healthy people.  Maybe you want to believe you're immortal, but you are not.

Not to mention the fact that it seems pretty unlikely that there's employer-sponsored health care with no employer subsidy, right? Does this happen? Or am I just hopelessly cloistered?
