Remember how much money conservative groups spent on "Obamacare" attack ads? How much time Republican candidates spent telling potential voters they were going to repeal the healthcare law? How many times far-right Congressional Republicans claimed that the Affordable Care Act was going to destroy the fabric of this country? Well, strangely enough, the world didn't end, and according to a new Commonwealth Fund poll, the attack ads and hyperbolic rhetoric were only effective for a limited period of time.
According to this new poll, 73% of people whom bought health plans were either somewhat or very satisfied with their new insurance. This includes 87% whom signed up for Medicaid and were at least somewhat satisfied. Not only that, but 74% of newly insured Republicans liked their plans.
With numbers like these, it makes the Tea Party/Ted Cruz-led government shutdown look even more ridiculous.
Cruz: "I'm going to stand up for the people, the Constitution, and all the hard-working conservative Republicans out there by saying no to Obamacare and yes to freedom! This is for all of you!"
Three-fourths of newly insured Republicans: "But we like our new plans..."
Cruz: "Screw you guys! I'm standing up for that other quarter, and am, in essence, standing up for all of you! You'll thank me one of these days."
Three-fourths of newly insured Republicans: "But..."
Cruz: "But, nothing! Now let's get down to business, and support me while I try to take away your healthcare, end jobs, waste money, and ruin lives! You're welcome!"
