The health care law (1) is combating fraud and abuse, which in turns saves Americans quite a bit of money; (2) has brought coverage to 2.5 million young adults; (3) is delivering major savings to seniors on prescription drugs; (4) is giving a boost to small businesses through ACA tax credits; (5) has slowed the growth of Medicare spending; (6) has provided new treatment options for cancer patients; and (7) has offered new coverage protections for those with pre-existing conditions. It is really difficult to explain anything to you in terms you can understand. But this is a perfect example of media liberalism coloring the story. Yes, fraud prosecutions have gone up. ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY in Puerto Rico. That's right. The essence of the administration's efforts is focused in Puerto Rico. Of course seniors are saving money on drugs. The taxpayers are PAYING FOR THEM. Only a liberal would think that is a good thing. There is no intrinsic savings to the system; just that the taxpayers are paying more of the tab. And some number of young adults now have insurance that didn't before. BFD. They're not the sick people. While some people have gotten coverage for their "cancer treatment", we are also finding that some people are actually LOSING treatment options. Worse, it seems like daily we hear of heretofore accepted preventive measures that are, mysteriously, "no longer recommended" -- things like colonoscopy , mammography, and prostate exams. Just out of the blue, we don't need these things anymore. Hmmm. And insurance costs have skyrocketed. Sorry, the article just doesn't stand up to rational examination.
