I wish people wouldn't be so rude to those who lose out under the ACA.

102. proposal: set up a new topic group for ACA advice/assistance

i think the problem stems from the proliferation of semi-obvious ACA trolls.

There are people with legitimate problems and gripes due to changes in their policies, but they're overshadowed by trolls who drop in to push an anti-Obama agenda. In this environment, skepticism is to be expected. Upon reflection, i do think it's fair to ask that people stating such a complaint provide sufficient information that enables people to evaluate their situation. After all, they are coming to a public forum to voice a semi-private grievance; the motivation deserves to be evaluated as honestly and completely as possible.

What might be very helpful is if we established a separate discussion group where people can go to get help with specific situations. There are a lot of people here who are pretty good with the ACA and sorting through different insurance options. If we could connect the people who need help up with the people who can give it, and do so outside the context of catch-all forums like General Discussion, the whole situation might just take care of itself.
