As we all know the majority of Americans want it to be repealed BUT when you ask them about individual parts of the ACA,
they like it. They like that the donut hole for seniors is closed, no one can be denied for pre-existing condition, kids can stay on their parents insurance longer.
People don't like it because they don't understand it.
They think its government run healthcare - hahaha. They think it's socialism - hahaha.
They think it's death panels, while not realizing that this bill ends the death panels we already have - insurance companies denying healthcare.
I was thinking that if leaders of the party, the DNC, the Move-On organizations out there were bombarding the airwaves with the truth,
we just might be able to change public opinion.
And if we can change public opinion, maybe - just maybe - the partisan hacks in black robes might notice and might think twice before killing the entire legislation.
Thoughts?????
