Under the ACA, no one is charged more based on the genes they carry.

And that is right and good.

A baby born with a congenital condition is no longer barred from insurance on the basis of a "pre-existing condition" and neither is a person with any other genetically related condition.

Including that most common congenital distinction of all, the XX chromosome.

10. According to the RW Noise Machine you are charged more if you are white.

[pnwmom]

11. Because . . . is it something to do with a tax on tanning machines?

I give up. What are they saying?

13. Ever listen to the radio? As part of RW propaganda they will have fake call ins...

Those people who pose as listeners say the really outrageous stuff so it gets out there and the show host NEVER corrects them. This makes it so the show host can deny they ever said it.

The message they're putting out is that "Obamacare" is free healthcare for black people that's paid for by white people.

Once you realize that is what they are claiming than it becomes obvious that Republicans are crafting their language to fit into that lie.

I would LOVE to pin down Mr. Orange and The Turtle ON CAMERA and make them ADMIT the ACA is for EVERYBODY.

14. No, I never listen to talk radio. Sounds like I'm not missing much.

Just a bunch of creeps.
