[quote=no_such_reality]Because they can’t see past the brainwashing of soundbites they’re getting. That goes both ways and the media makes it worse by dumbing it down.
Or they’re fortunate, have had good health and no serious medical conditions and haven’t blundered into the underbelly of our previous insurance madness.[/quote]
No, it doesn’t go both ways. The brainwashing has been invariably slanted against the ACA. Proponents haven’t told anyone they were going to get free healthcare, that’s part of the right-wing smear “they’re only voting for Obama because they want free stuff”. Proponents of haven’t told anyone insurance on the exchanges was going to be cheap, only that it would be less expensive than open market policies. And it is. Where the media has failed miserably is allowing the lies to go unchecked. Giving equal time (and thereby implying equal authority) to one side giving reasonable expectations and the other side shoveling bullshit. Those two are not equal.
