Do you think this person actually believes this...
Or are they just trying to scare people?

"This bill will possibly remove insurance from cancer patients, diabetics, possibly anyone with a lasting deadly disease or a recurring one and the disabeled. Me being a cancer patient could die because of it call senators, congressmen whoever we can not let it pass."

4. They may be naive enough to believe the dis-information
as it's been nonstop.

We need to educate as many people to the benefits of the bill as possible. I wish the DEMS would flood the airwaves with information because we KNOW the M$M with the exception of a few reporters are not going to try and disseminate the truth about the bill.

5. It's hard to tell. Some people are delusional, some lie, some mean well but
are severely misinformed, and many are gullible. And some are ploys or those that get a kick out of spreading lies and misinformation. And then you have all of those in between. The Internet brings them all out of the woodwork. This summary by this person on facebook sounds ridiculous IMO.

6. No. Did they give any reason for WHY they believe it?
I don't see any reason given in your excerpt. A reason, good or bad, is something that can be asked about to test it. There isn't even a bad reason there.

9. No they didn't.
This was their given reason for creating this particular Facebook group.

7. Well, since I just today spoke with my oncologist
who happens to be very much enthused about the legislation, I'd say that the person has something else going on...
