'I have to thank Obamacare for saving my life' | MSNBC
For months, “Obamacare horror stories” were in high demand – sought after by news organizations, lawmakers, and well-funded conservative groups desperate to run attack ads. That most of these anecdotes turned out to be wrong was an inconvenient detail for opponents of the Affordable Care Act.
But in practical terms, for every alleged “loser” under the ACA, there are 10 “winners” whose stories are effectively invisible.

MSNBC.... lmao.
FAIL
The first was Kathy Bentzoni of Slatington, Pennsylvania, who dropped her old plan in November because she could no longer afford it. She then signed up through the ACA for a good plan – that can’t be taken away from her, unlike the old days – that will cost her $55 a month.
And it’s a good thing Bentzoni had that coverage when she needed it.
“On March 1, I had to go the ER. They found my hemoglobin level was 5.7, and the normal is 14. I needed a transfusion. It was due to a rare blood disorder.
“Where would I be without Obamacare? ER, 3 units of blood, multiple tests in the hospital and a 5-day inpatient stay without insurance? Probably dead.
“I have to thank Obamacare for saving my life.”
So she had insurance but changed to the ACA. Her old health insurance would not have saved her. Such utter failure.

I'd imagine but you probably do better by asking him. I'm not an expert on U.S. Presidents. -

Census Survey Revisions Mask Health Law Effects
WASHINGTON — The Census Bureau, the authoritative source of health insurance data for more than three decades, is changing its annual survey so thoroughly that it will be difficult to measure the effects of President Obama’s health care law in the next report, due this fall, census officials said.
The changes are intended to improve the accuracy of the survey, being conducted this month in interviews with tens of thousands of households around the country. But the new questions are so different that the findings will not be comparable, the officials said.
An internal Census Bureau document said that the new questionnaire included a “total revision to health insurance questions” and, in a test last year, produced lower estimates of the uninsured. Thus, officials said, it will be difficult to say how much of any change is attributable to the Affordable Care Act and how much to the use of a new survey instrument.

Anecdotal testimonials hardly constitute admissible EXPERT evidence. If you don't believe me simply ask TB.
Go Obamacare!
Brain Surgery Patient's Obamacare Plan Denies Meds, Drops Doctors
She can't get treatment... denied medication... and she has Obamacare! Great plan Tards!
Obamacare's narrow networks have also shut out access to top cancer centers. The Associated Press says just 4 of 19 nationally recognized comprehensive cancer centers offer Obamacare access through all insurance plans in their state Obamacare exchanges, and a McKinsey and Co. study revealed 38% of all Obamacare plans only allow patients to pick from just 30% of the largest 20 hospitals in their areas.
Four of 19... that's not bad eh?
