Robert Reich on Obamacare: It’s Working Despite Misinformation

13. It doesn't help

That millions upon millions of dollars are being spent to confuse and disorient the consumer regarding the ACA. Healthcare is a bumpy road to maneuver even if you are well versed in the subject. Add the bullshit from the right and it can be a nightmare. People who have been without healthcare for decades will have a lot more issues than someone who has had it all along. They finally see some hope and are worrying about what treatments they can get to alleviate pain, or some condition they have had for years. Then they tune into the TV and see some advertisement that degrades the ACA and leaves them more concerned than ever. They read the news that some right wing turd wants to change the playing field before they even get in the game. It ought to be against the law for those assholes to even get any airtime denigrating an act that is the law of the land. They are causing irreparable harm to people and may even be killing some directly or indirectly. They need to be called out for that.
