13. They bash the ACA as much as the website.

I spoke with my 74 y.o. Mother yesterday. I was complaining about our red state Gov. Bill Haslam. He refuses to expand the Medicaid program in Tn. That means still no insurance for my Brother and Sister. They are disabled, unable to work because of a lack of medical care all of their adult lives. A few surgeries would have put them back into the workforce, years ago.
My Mother (who spends her days watching teevee at a ridiculous sound level) started telling me that the ACA was bad anyway. People are being FORCED to buy crappy insurance they cannot afford. I told her to quit watching Faux "news." She said that it was being reported this way on all networks.
I tried to explain how (especially the Southern red states) the republicans were still sabotaging Obamacare
by refusing to allow coverage for those that need it most. She parroted some ridiculous premiums that people were being forced
to pay (or be fined) and how crappy even those overpriced policies were.

My Mother is for Universal health care and we were not happy when the ACA was "negotiated." We did realize that it may help usher in not for profit health care.
The teevee had her convinced how horrible the ACA is and it had nothing to do with the website.

Oh for the days of THE FAIRNESS DOCTRINE.

I still cannot understand how any real Democrat would not have this vital rule for honesty and open-mindedness re-instated.
