Why else would they ignore the facts?

The republicans used to try and hide what their agenda was.  Now that they are dealing with a majority of the electric that does not know their ass from a hole in the ground they can go forward with their plans to reach their coveted goals.  The have followers that think the President is a Muslim or a Socialist.  They think that the affordable care act is intended to give people free health care using their taxes.

Republican politicians are determined to repeal the Affordable Health Care Act in order to address their concerns that some undeserving person will be able to afford health care. To insure that no undeserving senior is likely to be able to afford health care, the same people intend to transfer the risk and burden of Medicare cost increases from government to the individual, thus stripping the entire population of any semblance of health security, except for the deserving few. The great mystery is how the tea parties who supposedly demand that they do this to America will survive

The truth is just the opposite.  The Affordable Care Act is working. 2.5 million More young adults ages 19 to 26 now have health insurance. The shrinking of the Medicare "donut hole" allowed 3.6 million seniors to save $2.1 billion on their prescription drugs last year. And the ban on insurers refusing to cover pre-existing conditions is saving lives (even among those who opposed so-called "Obama care"). And even though most of its provisions don't go into effect until 2014, the data from Oregon and Massachusetts strongly suggest the 30 million people who will gain coverage will be much healthier and more financially secure.

In Massachusetts, the 2006 health care reform Governor Mitt Romney signed into law lowered the insured rate from 10 percent to a national low of two percent. Even with its individual mandate, "Romneycare" is extremely popular, enjoying a 3 to 1 margin of support from Bay State residents. Now, a new study by Charles J. Courtemanche and Daniela Zapata published by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBR) shows that universal coverage in Massachusetts is indeed making people there healthier.

It is unfortunate that Mitt Romney cannot even mention his work on the Health Care bill he instigated for Mass. the same Bill that Barack Obama used for the country. It was the one good thing he did and he can't use it for his nomination speeches because the Lunatic Fringe would ostracize him on the spot.

I find it amazing that after passing the Medicare prescription drug plan, a proposal of George W. when he was president, the republicans now want to kill Medicare. Their claim of the costs being too great is in large part the way the drug coverage plan was structured. No bargaining on drug price and no funding identified. Anyone surprised at the results?

I have no Idea why I keep posting on this subject. I sadden me to watch my fellow Americans turn their back on common sense and vote for policies that are against their own interests just because they are ignorant and bigots. Why else would they ignore the facts?
