Where are these elusive millions who were crushed by the weight of the ACA? And why are they staying so silent when given the opportunity to speak out?
The ACA failed in its objective. still 30 million not insured, The lies that came wit the ACA are showing more and more

You didn't answer the question. Why do all these purported millions who were harmed by the ACA remain so silent when a congresswoman who is sympathetic to their cause gives them a platform to tell their horror stories? Where are all these purported millions?

If you have no heard the people with complaints about the ACA you are either deaf or have your head in the sand

The CBO says 11 million lost private insurance policies due to ACA

7 million employer based and 4 million private

Are you calling the CBO wrong?

Think about this. A congresswoman wants to highlight all of the terrible things that people have suffered due to the ACA. She creates a special Facebook page to capture all of these stories, because like you and many others in this thread, she insists there are millions of people who are unhappy with the law.

No one shows up to support her claim. But thousands upon thousands show up to tell their positive ACA stories.

And your response is, oh, they're there all right! Because I say they are! So there!

You and the congresswomen were schooled. But I can understand why you would want to pretend otherwise.

It doesn't count if they didn't share their experience of losing their insurance on a random (ie, not their own Congress person)Congresswoman's Facebook page. If it is not reported on Facebook, it didn't happen.

Tens of thousands found the page and reported good experiences. Maybe those purported millions who are unhappy aren't intelligent enough to do the same? You would think if there were truly that many who were upset at least a few would have told their stories....

She is not my Congress representative and I don't really like to use Facebook anyway so why would I share something like this on her Facebook page? Are the people sharing positive stories from her district? Are their stories confirmed to be true? Could they be paid supporters of Obamacare?

That's pretty rude to call people unintelligent for not wanting to share their personal stories on the Facebook page of a Congresswoman who is not even their representative. It's rude to discount people's experiences and the numbers that support them because of this Facebook thing.
