The Republican National Committee altered a video clip of a local news story about health insurance premiums in North Carolina to imply that rates would increase under the Affordable Care Act, cutting off the segment just before the reporter explained that not everyone could be in for the sticker shock.
The report, aired on the local ABC affiliate last week and posted and tweeted by the RNC, argues that since enrollment of young people did not meet expectations, health insurance would eventually cost you more. A small business owner interviewed for the package adds that her familys premiums have increased since passage of the law and reporter Angelica Alvarez notes that Blue Cross/Blue Shield of North Carolina, the states largest insurance provider, is warning customers now about what premium prices can look like in 2015.
But just as Alvarez begins to explain that most customers are unlikely to experience significant premium hikes, the RNC clip abruptly ends. In the seconds that follow, a Blue Cross/Blue Shield spokesperson argues that 91 percent of customers receive subsidies and may not feel the possible rate increases. He adds that any hikes would apply to a relatively small number of beneficiaries who buy coverage though the individual market.

Or it could simply be business as usual for the partisan right.
It’s gotten to the point where most conservatives don’t even know what the truth is anymore concerning the ACA, and most frankly don’t care, as they continue to contrive lies and seek to hide the truth for some perceived political gain, having nothing to do with the facts or merits of the ACA.
