Here is one example, from Fox News:
ObamaCare's red state rate squeeze
- STUDY FINDS OBAMACARE premiums will be highest in states that did not vote for President Obama, prompting some lawmakers to say it proves 'law picks winners and losers' across the country.
So this "proves" that the "law picks winners and losers"???
What?
First, a law cannot pick anything.
Second, premiums go up or down based on a lot of factors, one of which is NOT the candidate for President voted for by citizens.
In fact, one factor that determines rates is whether state governments decided to expand Medicaid. When they did, rates did not increase (or not as much). Then they didn't, rates increased (and increased more).
Turns out, red states generally did not do this, whereas blue states did.
So, the law did not pick winners and losers. The voters in states pick winners and losers.
And for some reason, some voters pick to lose. And keep losing.
Which costs them more money.
Google it.
But at least those same people have an entire news network to tell them it is not their fault.
