The media has been all about pushing stories on people getting their junk insurance policies cancelled , while I've seen hardly any of the success stories about people who've gotten good insurance at good rates through the ACA. The media is doing nothing to correct the misinformation on the red states that didn't accept the medicaid expansion. And it's not just Fox News.

I've seen friends of mine on FB complain about the rates and I tell them they have our teabagger legislature to thank for that for not expanding medicaid. Don't blame the ACA. It's very frustrating.
