"The plan he just bought on the Arkansas state exchange has a $0 premium (after the government subsidy he gets because of his low income level) and only a $750 deductible"
How in he H*ll could anyone have been paying $1,069 a month and be in a LOW income level??
Right - doesn’t ring true. Given how inaccurate the rest of this story is - either through ignorance or dishonesty - it wouldn’t surprise me if the entire thing is made up. The author just writes people might just like Obamacare - right - how about interviewing someone, “staunch Republican” or otherwise, who got a notice in the mail that their coverage is being eliminated because of the law, or someone who’s premiums are increasing by 200% because of the law, an elderly couple being forced to pay big bucks for coverage for pregnancy and child birth, someone who had their hours at work cut dramatically or were laid off, will be affected by providers cutting back healthcare services, etc. and see how much “people quite like it” in those situations. The author just writes the piece as though he hasn’t heard of those things happening to countless numbers of people.
