the problem is that a lot of the issues we are seeing are real (though inflated by the media and the GOP). It is frightening to hear your insurance is being canceled (even when it is not that great). It is frightening to learn your medical team will not be in network with your own insurance (yes, it happened as well before). It is even more frightening when you are in the middle of fighting for a dangerous disease and the exchange have very limited medical network (as they do in some more rural states).

We need to be able to offer solutions to these people who for the most part are honest. We need to look as if we cared, while at the same time promoting the aspects of the law that are positive.


We also have to recognize that, because prices are not lowered, healthcare costs are still too high for many people as soon as they need to use it. Yes, it is a bill that does good thing, but it is far from perfect. A little bit of truth would help, not only from the GOP, but from supporters of the law as well.
