Daring to Complain About Obamacare

[Nine]

48. She is presenting herself as a middle class person financially burdened by ACA when she is not.

Rich people are allowed to express their opinions on ACA.

She could have written, "As the author of international and national bestsellers, as a psychotherapist, as someone who routinely makes the morning show circuit, I'm obviously not going to go broke from ACA. But the point is I don't like being forced to buy insurance on the private market." (Although I have the suspicion that if she were paying a tax for single payer healthcare, she would be just as livid.)

She also could have said, "I'm obviously not going to go broke from ACA, but there are middle class people in this country who will be paying more for insurance now and who just miss the subsidies cutoff and I'm really concerned about this group of people." (But I don't think she actually gives a damn about them.)

She could have stuck to facts instead of peppering her piece with misinformation. Instead, she chose to be dishonest.
