Since Obamacare requires a person have health insurance and prosecutes and fines those who do not, it is hardly surprising that people sign up for health insurance.

That 16 million number is fudged and does not necessarily represent those who have signed up for O-care exclusively and would not have health insurance otherwise. Included in that number is people who have gained insurance through their state's Medicare programs as well as those who have gained insurance through their employer. The number also includes those who have signed up for O-care but have not paid for their plans and will eventually be dropped from the rolls.
