And this is worrying me. From the right wing I'm seeing nothing but made up, hysterical conspiracy theories. They just make up rubbish about some sort of communist take-over of the USA, while nothing could be further from the truth. But, as you say, a lot of people are responding to and commenting on this as if it were valid political discourse. It needs to be called out as the rubbish it is. And, as you point out: if someone wants to keep his/her outrageously overpriced and underperforming insurance option that's absolutely fine, they're 100% allowed to do so. “A lot of smart people are reacting to bad information they are hearing.”
