Why, are you buying whatever Mitch McConnell or Karl Rove says? It's not whether or not I believe what Reid says. It's that whenever someone is trotted out in the media spotlight for interviews to prove how they have been hurt by ACA, it turns out to be bogus. At least the examples that I've seen. I just find it odd that they can't seem to find one of these cases that, when examined, it turns out to be true. And their response is to attack the person who uncovered the falsehood. So based on these actions I'd be more likely to believe Reid.
You can't blame the capricious and malevolent actions of some insurance companies on the ACA. Those are actions of the companies in question and you can depend on them to do that just as you can depend on a honey badger to bite you if you take its food. And sit down and really examine what happened with the rollout, which is simply that the GOP had been attempting to sabotage things from the beginning and finally one of their tactics worked.
And Joe? He is just another example in a pattern of behavior. Again, a big mouthed example trotted out that turned out to be bogus.
Look, I'm not going to turn the AC board into a venue for political debates and arguments. My position is just that I want to see real, truthful examples for and against the issue. But examples I've seen against the ACA all turn out to be tainted when closely examined. Frankly, what happens is that these guys run around and cherry pick 4 or 5 cases that support their version of the truth and try to ignore the other several million cases, or act as if their 4 cases are the "typical" cases. It's just not true. What they should be doing is trying to make the law a success, and if in spite of those efforts it isn't then say "I told you so." Instead , they try to obstruct everything, and when they succeed in causing a problem they say " See, I told you so."
