3 Magic words from Dianne Barrette describing the PPACA " Blessing in Disguise" strikes fear into every conservative.
The Tea Party, and the GOP just don't understand the economic consequences of junk insurance.
We all know that medical bills have been the main source of personal bankruptcies, however when you drill down into the numbers, alot of people affected had insurance in the first place.
It is easy to get swept along with the generalized notion that people who file for bankruptcy didn't have any medical insurance to begin, and Dianne Barrette is a classic example of what can go wrong if hit with a illness that affected her.
PPACA has made Dianne aware of the reality a lot of Americans found out the hard way, as in losing a roof over their head. It shouldn't take some bad like that to happen, but pre PPACA that what happened.
PPACA will not stop medical bankruptcies, and no one from the President downwards has promised that, but it will help citizens and the economy going forward. A diary I wrote yesterday state the PPACA will take time to work, and if Medical Bankruptcies start to fall in a significant way, this spell trouble for the GOP post 2015.
