I think she is being misled by people who know better, but are willing to do whatever it takes to kill the ACA. Like Harris likes to say "the ends justifies the means"...

..she got a plan that cost her about half of what she was paying.....with a maximun out of pocket expense and she can keep her doctor.... That seems right, as far as it goes: at the end of the year, the cost approximately breaks even. But it is far from the whole story. Recently Mrs. Boonstra went to pick up a critical medicine from her pharmacy, and found that it is no longer covered. So that turned into a major out-of-pocket expense. Moreover, under Mrs. Boonstra’s new policy, out-of-pocket expenses are accumulated rapidly, early in the year. Mrs. Boonstra, unlike so many Democrats, is not wealthy. The issue of when she incurs expenses–the ability to space them through the year–is, to her, an important element of affordability. /Taro
