"Obamascare" woman says she'd "jump at" the chance for coverage

CBS neocon hack Jan Crawford did a "story" about a woman in Florida who is losing insurance due to that nasty old Obamacare. Other outlets picked up the "story" too.

Yet when an actual reporter did his job and looked into the situation (like a real journalist should) he discovered this woman had insurance that didn't really cover anything and she could wind up with REAL insurance that would actually cover hospital visits and other things.

The woman's response when she was given actual information on her options under Obamacare? "I would jump at it."

Let's let Ms. Crawford know how a real news story is handled. She belongs at Fox, rather than CBS. You can send this link to her via twitter: @JanCBS

after finding out what her options are and what she might be able to replace her non insurance, insurance with. Now, me, I hope for a day when we aren't letting insurance have a part of healthcare - universal coverage.

...worse they essentially victimize this woman by letting her spout off in ignorance without cluing her in to the fact that she would be far better off under the ACA.
