... With the March 31 deadline for 2014 enrollment in individual health insurance just days away, more questions are being asked about the mismatch in publicity about the Affordable Care Act by its opponents and supporters.
The millions of beneficiaries of the measure families excluded from insurance because of high premiums or preexisting medical conditions, low-income individuals made newly eligible for Medicaid, seniors receiving a new subsidy for prescriptions, women granted the legal right to affordable maternity coverage for the first time seem to be absent from the news media or political ad campaigns.

Enemedia? I LOVE that word.
Thank you. I made it up myself during the Iraq War.
Medicaid is nothing to strut around about.
What is really crazy is when the children await for their parents estate to be complete and find out that they get zero because the parents were on Medicaid that will be very disappointing to little Johnny and little Jane. I can’t wait for the first sob story on that. It will be sight to see and hear about. People still don’t know that little nugget with Medicaid. They think it is all just poor people who are getting Medicaid but that is not true, many working families are too.
The ‘positive’ stories are contained in the Government Advertisments for ObamaCare. All lies, but they feature the targeted demographics trumpeting their success in the ease of getting an affordable policy.
They neglect in most of the advertisements to say these peoples’ affordable policies are subsidized on the backs of other Americans who actually have some worth in this society.

Where’s the ham hock? There should
be a ham hock.
The left isn’t into positive stories. They don’t sell well anyway.
On a side note. How many of these fortunate people have actually tried using their obamacare plans? i.e. have they found doctors who will accept their “coverage”?
Here’s another one: a friend was in a car accident years ago, and has had very expensive insurance since. Her husband is unemployed, but had been continuing the seperate insurance for him and their daughter. Wife went on ACA website to see if they could get cheaper combined insurance plan.
It turns out they could save about $300 a month with subsidies. She didn’t check which doctors accepted the plans, which none of those which treat her pre-existing injuries accept. She has now spent two months trying to get off the generally useless plan to buy non-subsidized insurance.
There’s also the matter of a deducted payment going into the system, but not reaching the insurance company...but I have no idea whose fault that is.
Exactly. Note the author's "success stories" are only successful sign-ups. Big deal.
My prescription for a generic drug for lipitor went from $20 to $205 thanks to the halfrican, mooselimb, communist prick and all of his demonRAT minions in the congress.
I know that I am not alone among people that have been screwed because of obamacare.
There will be weeping and gnashing of demonRAT teeth in November of 2014.
Affordable = bubble.
As in “affordable housing,” “affordable college,” “affordable breathing,” etc.
The nightmare stories about Obamacare ARE the positive stories....it only gets worse as it goes along.
If there were any success stories we would be hearing about them all day long.
“Legal right” generally refers to a “right” the government invented and forces people to respect.
