How many of you have ACTUALLY read the law? Its been around for nearly four years now. How many of you have read all 2409 pages of it? Not even one of you. So where is all your information originating from? If its not first-hand knowledge, how many hands back and 'reinterpreted' at each level to the author/speaker giving you the information? How 'transparent' are those authors and speakers, giving you this information? Since its WELL KNOWN, that much of conservative media only 'reports' an extremely limited viewed on this particular law. The material written/spoken by more....liberal...people (i.e. moderates and liberals), displays much more factual information taken directly from the law. Yet, most of you wouldn't know the level of 'facts' given in a particular piece without having first read the law. Mr. Gruber got it wrong. Americans are not stupid on this law; they are ignorant! That Americans are told what to think, because they are 'too busy' to check the information, only serves to show evidence this notion is correct. That Republicans come out to attack Democrats for not being 'truthful' smacks of hypocrisy. Anyone could have read this bill before it became law. That less than 5% of Americans did so, is a very sad state of affairs in the nation. Yet, what percentage of Americans had access to the information given to then, President George W. Bush about Iraq's WMD capabilities from the intelligence community (who cant say anything to the general public)? Not even a tenth of that 5% on 'The Affordable Care' Act. I would even gamble not even a thousandth of 5% knew of such information. Where were all the Republicans and their conservatives supporters in bashing that administration...AFTER...the information became known? Someone could drop a pin in that room and be blown over by the kinetic shock wave by the silence among all those in said room! So when I hear those that bash the ACA without having first read the document, shows just how ignorant they are. Moments before I SCHOOL 'EM on the facts.... That being 'stupid' and 'ignorant' are seen as virtues among conservatives these days is sad. That the caliber of people they vote into public office shouldn't surprise anyone with an education and a mind to think for themselves....
