The latest Affordable Care Act info is “bad news for Obamacare,” and by that they mean “for Americans”:

bad news for Ocare

HuffPo’s Sam Stein noticed something about their Obamacare stories:
So bizarre. the people RTing our write up of the bad Obamacare enrollment news never seem to RT the write ups of the falling uninsured rate
— Sam Stein (@samstein) October 15, 2015
Maybe that’s because a falling uninsured rate isn’t surprising in the least when purchase of the product is mandatory or a fine is incurred.
When compliance is forced, it's generally only "news" when it doesn't happen. https://t.co/cbz8dCIdFn

Because more people doing something the law forces them to do is not news. https://t.co/v4XsBBT8el

No, it isn’t.
@samsteinhp lol, falling uninsured = people not wanting to risk prosecution. This is surprising?

It's a mystery why more people aren't celebrating purchasing mandatory insurance. https://t.co/1DvxFH0QNl

It's basic common sense that when you force people to do something (like get insurance), they generally do it. https://t.co/Qe87rglYCv

@samsteinhp using this logic, we should mandate buying a home…and it will reduce homelessness

Yeah, it's amazing how many people partake when you make something mandatory@samsteinhp pic.twitter.com/fSEkUCjnPt

Perfect example of confirmation bias in action. https://t.co/V7HegIwj1e
