      Those are opinion pieces and they’re wrong. The difference in support of the ACA vs Obamacare should be all the info you need.

        No, they aren’t “opinion pieces” just because you don’t agree with them; they are all backed by a significant amount of data.

        The difference in support between the ACA and Obamacare is the difference rhetoric and messaging can make. And even then it still remains popular because of how the policy positivity benefits people’s material conditions.

        The conversation that envelops the ACA has moved out of Washington and into the public domain. Opponents of the ACA, who call it “Obamacare,” regularly only emphasize what they perceive as negative aspects of the bill: that doctors will become overwhelmed by an influx of patients, that people will lose control over who their health care providers are and health insurance carrier is. The ACA’s supporters, who remember to call it the Affordable Care Act, tout what they see as highlights: that people will no longer be denied coverage based on preexisting conditions and that children can remain on their parents health insurance until age 26.

        Messaging matters. Policy matters.

              What’s trolling is throwing up random links and claiming they support your argument when they actually do the opposite. Did you even read that Harvard article? Its entire conclusion is that messaging and messaging ALONE is what matters with the ACA.

              You are posting links that support what I’m saying, and claiming they say the opposite.

              That part you quoted isn’t even fucking RELEVANT to the conversation. It’s just expository.
