Itā€™s like Republicans donā€™t get that not everybody is selfish and only thinking about themselves. They donā€™t stop for five seconds to think that a lot of people really do care about others and, even if inconvenienced themselves, still support the benefits and goals of ACA and donā€™t regard themselves as ā€œObamcare victimsā€. And letā€™s be blunt here, ACHA/BCRA doesnā€™t do ANYTHING to solve any of the issues that ACA has (many of which were intentionally created by Republicans due to their purposeful sabotage of ACA since Day 1), nor does it do anything purposeful to ensure a level of coverage comparable to ACA. What it DOES do is make coverage for a LOT of people currently receiving coverage through or because of ACA unaffordable/unavailable and gives the wealthy a tax cut paid for by monies currently going to assist people whom need it. So, the debate ultimately, is not about intractable or unsolvable problems with ACA. What it DOES comes down to is, which is more important: Tax cuts for rich folks or affordable health coverage for people?

Pro tip: As exhilarating as it might be, try not to believe your own propaganda. If necessary, create two files: ā€œMy Propagandaā€ and ā€œHow Things Really Are.ā€ Review the latter often.

My Congressman is asking for ACA horror stories ā€¦ on his House site.

Remember folks, itā€™s not the 10 percent of undisciplined Republicans who will kill you. Itā€™s the other 90 prrcent who practice message discipline.

Indiana residents are unique in their satisfaction with Obamacare. When the State created their own form of expanded Medicaid they included payments for trailer calls and tracheostomies that would accommodate a cigarette.

I guess this comes under the heading of ā€œBe careful what you wish for.ā€ Iā€™m sure the GOP spin machine is working overtime to ā€œrefudiateā€ these results. Donā€™t give them an inch.

What are the chances they will listen to the voters? What are the chances that the world is flat?

The lack of awareness comes from those jackholes that HAVE insurance and are just ā€˜sureā€™ that everyone else hates ā€˜Obamacareā€™ like they doā€¦no matter what the polls tell them.

Ken Ham wants the ACHA to cover treatment of saddle sores resulting from riding a dinosaur.

[quote=ā€œsanni, post:15, topic:58541ā€]Instead the bubble alt-reality that Obama Care is a horror story lives on, so time and time again efforts by politicians, local/state parties, and even rw media outlets solicit those horror stories and receive the embarrassing results that beyond contradict the assumption.

If someone keeps doing the same thing over and over again getting the same result, when do we have them legally committed and take their voting privileges away?

People getting decent health care insurance at a decent cost from a government program that got saddled with the name of a black guy by conservatives in an effort to make it seem bad? That makes me laugh every time I think about it. In spite of conservatives best efforts to sabotage it, it actually works for most people. Awesome.

I wonder why Democrats donā€™t seize the initiative and ask for ACA ā€œfeel-goodā€ stories? I guarantee thereā€™s many more of those than horror stories.

Maybe even forward them to Collins, Heller, Cassidy, and Murkowski among others?

Itā€™s a predictable enough outcome that you start wondering if these GOP groups have progressive moles running their social networks

How dumb are these guys? Dumb enough to believe their own bullshit and lies. And this is what they get.

if the ACA had only been called Romneycare the GOPs could have got behind and helped make it work.

The Dems need to contact the folks who responded and run an ad in Indiana that features their stories about how ACA has helped them!

God, these people live in a bubble of their own construction, donā€™t they? They truly believe their own bullshit, otherwise they wouldnā€™t keep doing things like this that undermine their message. Theyā€™ve gone so far off the rails that all they have are fake issues. It would be sad if it didnā€™t make me so angry. I am confident that everyone, EVERYONE in the US has a friend or relative who has benefited from PPACA, but the number of people who have been harmed is miniscule by comparison. Had their heads not been inserted so far up their rectums, the IN GOP would have known this. Alas, Hoosiers cannot pull them out.
