Maybe the Democrats and the media (same thing?) missed it, but Obamacare LITERALLY took insurance from millions of people. They keep screeching that the AHCA will ‘strip insurance from millions’ while totally ignoring the fact that Obamacare did just that.
What makes it even more shameful is that all the legislation would do is stop forcing people to pay for insurance, that’s not STRIPPING it from anyone.
And not being forced to pay for something people can’t afford in the first place IS an improvement.
One message challenge for GOP: Difficult to find people whose health care will be tangibly improved as a result of this legislation.

Wonder if Karen is interested in hearing about the DAMAGE Obamacare did:
As usual, the losses of those under ACA don't matter; only the losses of those if it's changed. It'd be nice if we cared about both. https://t.co/ss7H3QP6eP

Of course those losses don’t matter. The people who lost their insurance plans were clearly privileged and deserved to have their policies yanked from under them, even though they were more than happy to pay for them.
We were all just too stupid to know the plans weren’t good or something.
They can't cope with the idea that the law had winners and losers, not just winners

Democrats can’t accept their policies hurt people.
We're a "privilege" group now. That's a neat feature.

Whoohoo!
Wonder if they ever sat at a dinner table where father says "I have been put on part time" by small business that can't afford ACA?

If they did they would find a way to blame Bush or the Republicans for any issues someone faced on Obamacare.
It matters people were hurt by the ACA. I don't understand why everyone is opposed to fixing the problem that hurt those

Politics.
Obama legacy.
Love when twitter twits think they know better than you if you were hurt by ACA.
