AP FACT CHECK: Despite woes Obamacare not in 'death spiral'

ERICA WERNER AP Congressional Correspondent 17 hrs ago 0

WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump says that President Barack Obama’s health care law “will fall of its own weight.”

House Speaker Paul Ryan says the law is “in what the actuaries call a death spiral.”

And Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says that “by nearly any measure, Obamacare has failed.”

The problem with all these claims: They are exaggerated, if not downright false.

As congressional Republicans prepare to repeal the health law, they are working to portray it as a mess of Democrats’ making, and themselves as the ones who will clean up that mess..........................

1. The Dems had better message harder on this

30 million have signed up and the majority are very happy especially compared to what they had before.

I know I am.

2. Many voters who receive coverage under the ACA have no idea that the ACA

and Obamacare are the same program.
