In 2013, Republicans were quick to call the Affordable Care Act (ACA) a disaster, racing to the cameras to falsely claim that 5 million Americans were losing coverage. Republicans did not mention that all these people did not actually lose coverage but could now sign up for new plans with enhanced consumer protections, many paying less for better coverage with the help of a new affordability tax credit. Republicans are now looking to fully repeal the ACA without a replacement plan, this time actually leaving more than 30 million people without coverage of any kind.

They jumped the gun when they thought 5 million would lose their health insurance – when in reality 20 million gained coverage. Will they be as critical of their own bill that takes away health care from millions of Americans and raises the uninsured rate to pre-ACA levels?
