Some Republicans Love Obamacare (i.e. FL voters)

By now, the Republican Party’s view of the Affordable Care Act should be pretty familiar, as in this ad from David Jolly:

“I’m fighting to repeal Obamacare, right away. It’s bad for our families, and our economy.”
But not all Republicans agree; one is Irene Jacusis of New Port Richey, who was uninsured until now. “I did not vote for Obama," she said. “But I am so in love with this plan, with this health care plan, what can I do?” […]

Another Republican who wants to keep the Affordable Care Act is Mary Fallon of St. Petersburg. She was a teacher for many years, but because she was paid from grant funds she didn’t qualify for health insurance. She had to buy her own policy, but then she got sick. Hello, pre-existing condition. …

Nice propaganda piece. Wonder what the other side of the story is?

How does anyone know that they are telling the truth about either being Republican or how great their insurance is.

This is BS. Propaganda at its’ finest. Consider the source.

>>Another Republican...St. Petersburg...teacher...paid from grant funds

I’m throwing the BS flag on this story just because of this.

Palestinian Authority doesn’t qualify, sorry.

No offense intended, though; that’s why I called it what it is—a propaganda piece. As much as these fools at USF want to make it look like all Republicans, they just cannot.

Send this to the gopE with a copy to Neal Cavuto. Hanging their hopes on people hating obamacare is a loser. Cavuto asks the question “What if the media starts reporting how well it’s working?” And the media will do just that starting around August. Plenty of time for “moderates” to vote for democrats.

LOL what propaganda BS. I could write better BS than this and I work in Hollywood.

I have posted before about the woman and her 8 year old daughter I have been providing insurance for.
Getting signed up was a pain in the ass but where before I was paying $339 a month for a 5000/10000 deductible policy with no pharmacy benefits. She is paying 92 bucks a month now with a $500 deductible and has pharmacy, dental and glasses foe the kid.
I went to pick up a prescription for them the other day and the bill was $500, I showed them her card and the bill was zero.
Even with the low sign up numbers there are still a few million folks in their same boat. Not a single one will vote for any candidate pledging to end Obamacare.

I love ObamaCare. It is the greatest gift the American people have seen in decades. It may just allow us to restore sanity to how this political system works. Repeal it ASAP.

This is a PBS station in the Tampa area cherry picking a few Republicans who find Obamacare congenial. The polling numbers show this view to have little appeal to Republicans and swing voters.

“Irene Jacusis of New Port Richey . . . Mary Fallon of St. Petersburg”

No doubt supporters of Gerald Ford, George H. W. Bush, Bob Dole, George W. Bush, John McCain, and Mitt Romney.

Where’s my free stuff?

Daily Kos is mentioning this “Republican” as well

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/02/14/1277651/-Bad-news-for-Republicans-Obamacare-is-helping-their-voters-too

How many times do they need to get busted before they stop?

If she didn’t have insurance before, my guess is that she’s being subsidized now. By us.
