Indiana GOP request for health care "horror stories" backfires
https://www.axios.com/indiana-gop-request-for-health-care-horror-stories-backfires-2453317740.html
The Indiana Republican Party's quest for Affordable Care Act
"horror stories" didn't really go according to plan, the
Indianapolis Star reports. When the party in Vice President
Mike Pence's home state put out a Facebook request for stories
about bad things -- rising premiums, fleeing insurers,
burdensome regulations -- it instead got flooded with stories
about good things, like people getting health insurance. Why
it matters: The outcome was predictable, given how the
Internet works -- you're never, ever just reaching like-minded
people. But it's also a good measure of where the energy is
in the ACA debate right now. Sure, the Indiana GOP will find
people who suffered premium hikes or lost their insurers,
because that is part of what's happening. But there are also a
lot of people who were personally helped by the ACA -- and
that's the side that is now fighting back.
