A most excellent front-page diary is viral-crawling its way across social media today:
GOP congresswoman gets surprise on Facebook after asking constituents for Obamacare horror stories
Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R, WA-5) put up a Facebook plea for tales of Obamacare woe on the occasion of the law's 5th anniversary, and instead got pages full of comments like these:
My story is that I once knew 7 people who couldn't get health insurance. Now they all have it, thanks to the ACA and President Obama, and their plans are as good as the one my employer provides--and they pay less for them. Now, that's not the kind of story you want to hear. You want to hear made-up horror stories. I don't know anyone with one of those stories.
I work for cancer care northwest. We actually have more patients with insurance and fewer having to choose treatment over bankruptcy. Cathy, I'm a die hard conservative and I'm asking you to stop just slamming Obamacare. Fix it, change it or come up with a better idea! Thanks
With Obamacare, I saved 300 bucks a month premium.. I have more coverage.. I like ObamaCare and can't wait til we go to the next step... Medicare for ALL.
It's worth a trip over to the original plea to read more. The pro-ACA sentiment is truly overwhelming.
And the diary concludes by asking:
Will she take their comments to heart and abandon attempts to take insurance coverage away from her constituents?
that last question is a toss up as we have seen throughout they have no shame they are not embarrassed by their own imbecilic statements so caught in the headlights no problem ignore and talk around it loud and proud that you just muffed up but you got out of it unscathed, that is what a warped mind would tell you yet here i am relaying an article exposing the total incompetence of yet another republican now scathed big time.
...Despite the promises, five years later, this legislation has not delivered what was promised. I wanted just to read some words from different corners of the country, voices that I believe deserve to be heard.
A woman from Georgia writes, "I'm a 62-year-old widow and only make $8.79 an hour. I lost my insurance and cannot afford to pay for it."
A man from Pennsylvania says, "My family's health coverage was cancelled, and my new health care premiums increased 85% thanks to Obamacare."
The stories are repeated all across the country. Obamacare has made lives worse. And that's why our Balanced Budget for a Stronger America is so important. We're bringing it to the floor this week. It repeals Obamacare and makes government accountable to you....
NOT ONE WORD about the story after story after ACA success story. Not a one.
And the commenters on the video post... umm, yeah, they noticed.they make a practice of false accusations against ObamaCares herding up paid liars to testify i mean perjure themselves. keep this stuff in mind 2016 before you push a button, punch out a tab, pull a lever think do you really want an idiot running your gov't one who over embellishes their own fantasies just to misinform and mislead you???
