(22,913 posts)Any and all things that the right wing can do to scare people around the ACA will be trotted out and used. That of course includes bogus anecdotes, bu it doesn't stop there. Anything that the Right can do to hurt working and low income people will be attempted, and it will be passed off as a "consequence of Obamacare". Whether or not is is spurious logic, whether or not it is even legal. Immoral corporate America has figured out that in the long run is is much more profitable to break the law to enhance profits than to fear the penalties of possibly getting caught breaking it. When they can also advance their larger agenda to discredit Democratic policies while making greater profits, honesty simply doesn't enter into the equation. No doubt a power company could spin some cause and effect false commentary that pins the blame on Obamacare for loss of vacation days if they were motivated to do so. Especially when so many low information voters are predisposed to believe that Obamacare will cause the end of civilization as we know it.
