No. The 20 million includes 1) all the people who got kicked off their individual plan and then purchased insurance from an exchange plan. 2) People who were forced to buy insurance by the mandate who could've afforded insurance before and chose not to buy it. 3). People who signed up for Medicaid as a result of the ACA.

So... it would be like passing a law requiring every household to have only Comcast cable, and then bragging about your milliions of new customers who are only customers because they used to have Time Warner, but were forced to drop them and change only because of the law and pickup up customers who were "cord cutters" and now have to have comcast cable. Right? But hey... 20 million successes!!!

Ridiculous. Those 20 million didn't drop their previous health care coverage to get Obamacare. They didn't have any coverage. Obamacare made it possible for them to get it.
