The Indiana Republican Party on Monday asked Facebook users to send in their “horror stories” about Obamacare in a post that readers instead flooded with stories about the legislation’s positive effects.

“We were promised Obamacare would make healthcare cheaper, better, and more available, but in reality it’s turned out to be the opposite,” the state party wrote in a post. “What’s your Obamacare horror story? Let us know.”

Many users instead responded with praise for the legislation.

“Thanks to The ACA my mother was able to have insurance after she retired and before she qualified for Medicare. She kept her doctor and had good healthcare. The ACA works,” one wrote.

1. Apparently, not everyone lives in that GOPr reality distortion field bubble. nt

2. Do Republicans never read or learn?

This has been tried by some many RW'ers and it never works out like they planned. It's been done in Iowa, Louisiana and I don't know how many other states and each time it gets the same result, people praising the ACA. However, this is ignored because it's not "their" people, aka oligarchs, that love ACA but the expendable to them working class.

3. This demonstrates the GOP Achilles Heel

They only see the world their way. They have NO IDEA that anyone could ever have
anything good to say about Obama or Obamacare. They live in their own little bubble

5. "have insurance after she retired and before she qualified for Medicare"

THAT has been my plan so I can afford to retire in just a couple more years and get out of shit job that I can't stand. Now 45* wants to take that away from me because of his hatred for Pres. Obama.

7. Same here - planned to retire in a few more years and use ACA to bridge time to Medicare

I view the plan to repeal ACA as infringing on my right to the pursuit of happiness.
