You can always pull the "bait & switch" on those young inexperienced minds.

The issue is that many of them believe themselves to be qualified to run your life for you, and solve your problems by making your decisions for you.

And then there's the sycophants who fall on their knees and beg them to.

Had you bothered to read the OP you'd know the first quote states "Younger people were skeptical of the healthcare reform law even before its troubled rollout"

Doesn't really jibe with your allegation that young voters supported the ACA, eh?

Even the best of us, have had the bait & switch pulled on us in life.
Some don't pick up on the too good to be true aspect, because they have not lived that long out on their own.

LOL

No. No one anywhere, for any reason, could have figured that one out!
And you're just filled with glee that people can't afford health insurance.

The right wing is disgusting.

As of 2011 Pew’s survey of 18-29 year olds , only 27 percent of Millennialls favored ObamaCare repeal.

Thanks! I hate #4 I know few care but that's OK. If they do this to my business, you could be next.

Default The ACA is good, esp. since Pubs don't like it

Interesting readin comments from Conservatives about this topic. The health care crisis stared Pubs in the face for 8 horrific years under Bush, and it was ignored. President Obama has taken it upon himself to do something about it, and you conservatives suddenly are "experts". Your motives are not honorable, since from the moment this black man was inaugurated as President, you have done nothing but perpetuate hate, spread lies, and attempt to distort the living hell out of reality to fool unsuspecting suckers to support your agenda. It's not working.

The ACA is a nobel endeavor. You don't like it because it's not something that just supports the rich while everyone else goes to hell. It's a work in progress. Kinks have to be worked and ARE being resolved. When the smoke clears, it will a major achievement that directly reflects positively on President Obama and the Democrats. This is what you Pubs fear as you continue to make a fool of yourselves.
