how many people it is hurting
A lot.

The Government Accountability Office reports that insurers have left the market in droves. In 2013, 1,232 carriers offered insurance coverage in the individual market. By 2015, that number had shrunk to 310. …
Patients may also have fewer doctors to pick from. More than 60% of doctors plan to retire earlier than anticipated — by 2016 or sooner, according to Deloitte. The Physicians Foundation reported in the fall that nearly half of the 20,000 doctors who responded to their survey — especially those with more experience — considered Obamacare’s reforms a failure.
Can you make the connection between patients losing access to specialist doctors and not being able to find another in their area?
and how it is doing it fatally?
Here's one:

This Wednesday, my little sister, Julie, will be buried. She died because she delayed seeking health care for what turned out to be a catastrophic condition after her private health insurance policy was cancelled because of Obamacare. As she waited for a new Obamacare-approved policy to kick in, her condition deteriorated to the point that it was too late.

An uninsured Florida woman who died last month from a treatable heart condition sparked a new kind of Obamacare horror story...
Oh well...your costs went down, so fuck them, right? If you enjoy reading these kinds of stories, I can find plenty more. But what's the point? You'll naval gaze for a while and it won't sink in. That's your pattern.
How many people were refused health coverage before because of existing conditions? All those people are insured now.
So the government forces you to buy something, and enrollment is up? Fascinating. How many of those "new enrollees" had insurance before, and how many wish they had their old plans instead of the new shit they're being fed?
Has this awesome insurance given everyone access to doctors? Isn't that the whole point behind this idiotic monstrosity?
