Rise of the Obamacare Denialists

Rise of the Obamacare Denialists | Heartlander Magazine:
 "Over the past few weeks, we’ve witnessed the rise of a new creature in media: the Obamacare denialists. 
Convinced there is nothing wrong with Obamacare, these individuals argue that any objections to the law have to be creations of the partisan right.

Jonathan Bernstein writes here: “Is it possible that the reason all the Republican horror stories about the Affordable Care Act haven’t panned out is because there aren’t any (real) horror stories?”

I realize the stories I’ve shared here might not suit Mr. Bernstein’s partisan framework of the issue, but perhaps he could comment on this, shared by a subscriber whose spouse has MS.

A consultation with the private drug coverage website told me I was covered for the cost of the drug minus my co-pay. I contacted my drug insurance companies eight hundred number to verify and I was told that my coverage had changed because of Obamacare. My private insurance, a benefit gained as compensation during my working years, would now only cover this drug so minimally as to be useless. In order to be treated, I must come up with approximately 50 grand a year, cash, out of pocket."
