Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Washington) asked her constituents to share their horror stories of Obamacare-caused “lost coverage, lost doctors, increased premiums, and a broken website” on Facebook. But to McMorris Rodgers’ horror, most people shared non-horror stories about their Obamacare experiences.
Typical comments:
- Thanks to the ACA, my cousin was able to get affordable insurance despite her preexisting condition. So grateful.
- The Republican solution to th Afordable Care Act? Let people drown in debt, clutter our emergency rooms, and die from lack of coverage due to pre-existing conditions. No thanks, “Congresswoman”. Some of us care more about our fellow Americans than trying to bash the President. Keep trying to scare your followers with phony horror stories, though.
- I love people like you Cathy who HAVE Gov’t Health Care who want to cancel it for others! it’s the Christian thing to do!
- I think we should repeal Obamacare, and replace it … with universal socialized medicine – like the rest of the industrialized nations of the world.
- I work for cancer care northwest. We actually have more patients with insurance and fewer having to choose treatment over bankruptcy. Cathy, I’m a die hard conservative and I’m asking you to stop just slamming Obamacare. Fix it, change it or come up with a better idea! Thanks
- Why don’t you ask for people to tell their stories instead of just asking for the negatives? If you honestly want to help Americans you need All the stories and weigh what’s best based on the facts not based on what you want to hear.
McMorris Rodgers lists one of her achievements as being “the only Member of Congress in history to give birth three times while in office.”
