Tell that to all those Democrats up for election this time that won’t even mention Obamacare and are hoping like hell that their opponent(s) don’t bring it up either…
Where are these millions who have lost their policies? Do you actually know one? I know some people who have been effected by Obamacare. There’s my aunt. She had a rough time getting a job because she’s diabetic and potential employers didn’t want to deal with the insurance issues involved. Now she has her own insurance and a new job. Then there’s my niece, who can stay on her parent’s plan until she’s 26. Until Obamacare, she didn’t have insurance. Personally, Obamacare is closing the donut hole on my Medicare, which means it will pay for a lot of medication that would have been my problem before Obamacare. And, there’s my brother who was staying on a job he only needed for the insurance because his wife has chronic respiratory problems and if she had gotten really bad it would have wiped out their savings. Now he has Obamacare and he’s retired. Another person who has benefited is the lady who took the job he no longer needed. So, if you have some actual cases of people who offset all of these benefits, put up or shut up.
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.

The only ones benefiting from o-care are freeloaders.

Nope. Hardworking people are doing very well with Obamacare, and the Republicans want to pull the rug out from under them.
