There’s a new story today of a Koch Brothers ad, featuring a cancer patient (who happens to be the wife of a Republican official). She claims in the ad that her new policy is “unaffordable,” so she’ll die from Obamacare. But, as usual, the facts are quite the opposite; she’ll be saving well over $1000 per year, and her insurance company can no longer just cancel her insurance or drop her for being sick. So is she grateful? Of course not. She says she “personally doesn’t believe” the facts. Jonathan Chait’s column today covers it nicely.
