Vox Asks Twitter How Obamacare Impacted Their Lives, Gets Flood of Negative Responses
Washington Free Beacon ^ | 2/17/17 | Sam Dorman

Vox asked Twitter users on Wednesday for stories on how the Affordable Care Act affected their lives, appearing to expect positive responses about former President Obama's chief legislative achievement.

What the liberal publication got instead was a flood of stories highlighting skyrocketing premium costs and health care insurance loss, among other things.

"The ACA essentially saved my life," said a Vox reader in a quote posted to the publication's Twitter timeline. Vox tweeted, "Tell us how the Affordable Care Act has impacted your life," above that quote.

As Chuck Todd would tweet, Delegitimizing Conservatives over the past few years is UnAmerican. We are the ones who have had our voices silenced. Now that Trump has been elected and doors are being cracked open, all these outlets are going to get an avalanche of Conservative opinion.

When you read letters like this, you have to understand that the Republicans need to get Obolacare replaced, because with or without a replacement, it is cratering.
As I see it, the reasons are clear, the mandated insurance components are not sustainable as evidenced by the cancellations and the steeply escalating premiums and deductibles.

No. Nancy Pelosi said we’d have to pass it to see what’s in it.

Oh, WITH a brain stem!

Nevermind...

One comment said that insurance was lost and became republican as a result.

I see the MSM reporting on all the people attending republican town hall meetings loudly wanting to keep obamacare, even though it has been proven those people are bussed in protesters.

Why couldn’t parents keep their kids on their insurance policies before Obamacare?

My kids are still on my car insurance — so long as I pay the premiums, they are happy to insure my kids even though they are adults.

So why not medical insurance? I pay the cost, why would an insurance company care whether they get paid through my premiums, or write a new policy for the kids directly?

My guess is that there was some regulation that prohibited it before. If so, we should make sure that in repeal, we still allow insurance companies to write these policies if the policy holders want them.

The lies of Obamacare

Low rates would continue

That the deductibles didn’t matter

Both hung people out to dry

Repeal Period! No Replace!

Related:
Rand Paul says “Repeal Now, Replace Now!”

But that is Wrong!
His three plan ideas are:

“First, my plan legalizes the sale of inexpensive insurance” News announcement this is Basic Free Market Theory and in such Needs no Law! For it to occur!

“Second, my plan allows people to save for insurance by expanding tax-free Health Savings Accounts “ This could require a law to change taxes as is now, But they should not be a factor because Incomes Taxes should be gone! But for now this items could require a law to fix.

“Third, my plan will allow every individual the freedom to join an association to buy their health insurance. “ Again this is Basic Free Market Theory and in such Needs no Law! For it to occur!

Yes REPEAL Now! REPEAL Period! No Replacement!

GOP is the Enemy...

ERROR! ERROR! REPEAL obamacare PERIOD!!!

The Destroyer, Obamacare, Doing its Job...

God Bless
