The spreading of misinformation on Obamacare

I found this link to a video interview from CampusReform at Bowie State University in Maryland. She is asking students what they think of Obamacare now that the University has cancelled health insurance for their students due to increased cost. The interviewer is telling them that if they buy insurance it will cost $3000 per year. But as I understand it, Maryland is expanding Medicaid coverage to low income adults. Also, wouldn't most of these students be covered under their parents policies under the Affordable Care Act? Seems like a blatant attempt to spread misinformation about the BENEFITS of the Affordable Care Act. What do you think?

in This manufactured crises.
Fact: The ACA problems, delays and glitches will work themselves out...and Will do so Much faster without the purported mass resistance, panic, lies, mis-information, Omission of facts, Dem Panic, GOP Sabotage and most importantly.. Without Intentional Attempts by MSM/Kochs et al to create an Illusion of catastrophic failure.

I refuse to hear them. It's a focus upon ONLY the (exacerbated/expanded/exploited/exaggerated FEAR) Negative, It's a waste of time. It's a distraction. It's pure bs. Period.

It's always easier to believe the bad stuff and "they'll" keep throwing shit on the wall until "something/anything finally sticks".
I'm more mad at the 39 Dems who panicked and voted with the GOP than anyone else right now.
