There is almost no one who agrees that Obamacare is perfect as it stands today. Fixes need to be made. The problem is that Democrats say they want changes, but would never stick their necks out to help Republicans, especially with Donald Trump in the White House. Also, some folks, like Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), have resorted to straight up lying about the AHCA. No shocker there, as Democrats lied for months to sell Obamacare. Remember when then-President Obama said that his law would allow Americans to keep their doctor and their health care plans. Well, Harris decided to cause a panic by saying that the AHCA would deny coverage to 129 million people. That claim got four Pinocchios from The Washington Post.
The use of the word “could” does not get Harris off the hook. As currently drafted, the provision affects a relatively small portion of the health insurance market — and even then several factors would need to play out before a person faced an issue. Moreover, the Republican plan specifically sets aside billions of dollars to help states create high-risk or invisible health pools to assist people if their health condition results in higher premiums or loss of coverage during the one-year transition period. It’s a valid question about whether the funding is adequate, but that’s different than assuming there is no funding at all.
Yet Harris uses a very high figure to suggest that everyone with a preexisting condition is at risk. The gap between her number and the reality of who might be affected is too large to ignore.
So, we have the Left lying again and laughing at stories about people fighting cancer—and these people are demanding town hall events?
