They are positively stark raving nuts. You could hit them with a bucket of ice water in the middle of a Obamacare bitch session and it wouldn't even faze them. You can almost see their reality bubble drifting away to Never Never Land as the yammering goes on and on.

this morning and was astounded that they were doing a positive piece on ACA. I didn't think the media outlets
were allowed to do that.

Of course if a policy has a very high deductible and it doesn't cover preventive care it is going to be cheaper. But the policy holder is going to pay more, lots more in many cases.

whether they know it or not. Even the young, who "never get sick."

In fact is the ones who think they don't need it and therefore never go to a doctor who probably need it the most. It is kind of like thinking that if one doesn't go to the dentist they will not get cavities.

*That* is part of the real story of ACA ... not the horribly-mismanaged federal web site.

These stories will only grow in number.
