Why does it need to be reported a certain way?

Because they need to be told how to be a journalist in these hanging times of Government control!

Because its been proven that when people find out what the actual provisions are in the ACA, people love it. It's called PR, every bodies doin' it.

Oh really? There are tons of people that work in the industry that are well of what's in the bill and because of that, hate it. It's very easy to mislead people by not explaining everything. When it comes to the ACA, it's thousands of pages long...unless it's something you do for a living, the average citizen is not going to read a single page of it....and the few that may attempt it, will fall asleep before they finish the first page.

Let it go: its been ruled constitutional by a conservative leaning Supreme Court, is the law of the land, and the election is over.

Just let it go.

What people? What industry? Doctors and insurance companies? Don't make me laugh.

I'm sure there's nothing disturbing in a multi-thousand page bill that had to be rushed through voting before legislators were allowed to READ IT. Nothing sneaky going on there.

Why not massively change one of the economy's largest industries, expand an already-bloated government by leaps and bounds to micromanage it and collect all the new taxes, and establish and staff the 159 brand-new Government Agencies that were created by Obamacare. No doubt they all can be up and running and ready to interact with one another ASAP. And while anyone who can get TWO government agencies to cooperate without bloodshed deserves sainthood; I wonder how many government bureaucrats it takes to to get 159 agencies to share information, coordinate their technology, ensure no petty jealousies, wage no power wars; and succeed in making a smooth-running national health care system based on nothing but back-room political maneuvering.

I have great hope for a successful implementation, despite the fact that the rules and regulations of law that cannot even be flow-charted--or at least I expect the liberals will declare a resounding success no matter how catastrophic the fall. Look at Obama's economy, after all--facts and truth mean nothing.

And with our economy so robust, who cares that the CBO projects a ten-year total of $1,221 billion in Obamacare tax increases: that's One Trillion, 221 Billion dollars. What do we get for this again? Not more affordable health care; that's for sure--I guess another incentive for illegals to come here and sign up for free health care, to add to their free children's education.

We did gain one thing, though: a great reason to quit work and stop trying to pay for ourselves (and everyone else, as government demands). Have at it, liberals. I can sleep late just as good as the next guy.

Once it fully kicks in there can be no hiding of the costs so it has to be spun correctly.

We've had the high risk pools in operation for 2 years now.
Not much has been reported on this in the big MSM sites.

BUT..states ran through 2 years of funding in the first year and had to go back and ask for more money.
California had to go back twice as they ran out of the 2nd batch of money given to them.

This is representative of what is going to happen when the pools open to everyone this October.
This was woefully underestimated.

The pools are running twice the national average cost for the same treatment.
So government care costs twice as much as private care.

Why was this given such little fanfare in the major MSM ?

Seems like you rather have it trained on how to report Obamamacare.

The truth hurts.
