"Well Chuck Todd did his job this morning, well mostly did his job. The recent Gallup data simply confirms what was known and what should have been reported ad nauseam while Republicans continued using the media to lie to their constituents.
"Chuck Todd pointed out the fact that Obamacare , , , is dramatically lowering the uninsured rate throughout the country. He pointed out that the states with the biggest drop in uninsured rates were in fact two of the poorer states in the nation with Democratic governors who accepted the Medicaid Expansion to Obamacare.
"He pointed out that the only state that showed an increase in the uninsured rate was Kansas, a state controlled almost entirely by Republicans and a state that refused to take the Medicaid expansion to Obamacare.
"Chuck Todd failed to mention that Obamacare Marketplace is making health insurance in the aggregate more affordable. He also failed to mention that in fact Obamacare is bending the cost curve more and faster than expected.
"While Republican politicians continue to dig their heals in, progressive policies are helping many of their constituents. It is important that this message gets to them in an unbiased manner. Let them see who is really looking out for them."

If so many people didn't believe and repeat the Republicans' repetitive talking points about what a "train wreck" Obamacare is (Ted Cruz) -- it would really be funny. Because many of those same people who say they hate Obamacare actually love their new insurance that they obtained through the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare).Groucho Marx's famous line comes to mind: "Who are you gonna believe, me or your lying eyes?"
