Dems exaggerate impact of Obamacare repeal
Philadelphia Inquirer ^ | December 16, 2013 | By Lori Robertsoc

Singled out for criticism is U.S. Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick (R-Bucks).

Democrats are telling the constituents of a Pennsylvania Republican that repealing the Affordable Care Act “would take health care away from 657,000 children in Pennsylvania with preexisting conditions.” No, it wouldn’t.

That number comes from an Obama administration estimate for all children living in Pennsylvania, under 18, with some kind of preexisting condition. It’s not an estimate of how many had gained coverage because of the law’s preexisting condition protections. Or an estimate of how many would lose their insurance if the law were repealed.

The greatest impact of repeal would be the possibility that the wind from the collective sigh of relief given out by the nation would blow a goodly number of the perpetrators of this mess out of office.

Boo-Hoo.

That’s the political pitfall of calling for total repeal after people get Obamacare that they didn’t have insurance before, or it was much more expensive for them before.

The Dems weakest link is all the policies (health care) they took away.

You want to beat Dems on the issue focus on that aspect.
