        Wonderful. But the vast majority of republicans will allow insurance companies to deny coverage for pre-existing conditions.

        When she gets to DC she will fall in line like a good Republican and vote to repeal Obamacare just like McConnell says they will.

        Our social safety net is going broke. Social Security is already in the red. And people want to expand it massively. The end is obvious. All I can do is shake my head. How many years before it hits the fan?

        NPR is doing this a lot now a days. Pushing the narrative of Republicans doing the right thing. It’s extraordinary false equivalence. Why should any Democrat support NPR with this false balance that’s really just a lie.

        Reaching "across the aisle" is so rare nowadays its damn near newsworthy. And NPR isnt meant to be a mouthpiece for democrats, or republicans either. And I hope it never is. There is enough of that garbage out there already. If thats what you want, listen or read something else

        I’m talking about false equivalence. Equal comparisons that are so out of balance they mislead enough to become actual lies. That’s not journalism, it’s pandering. You’re being used and I don’t want to pay for it anymore.

        What is the false equivalence in this article that has you so upset? Where are the lies?

        “So upset”? NPR seems to seek out rare narratives like this and amplify them. The legislators who are now saying they’re for covering preexisting conditions can look at pieces like this and say, “See, we are for this,” and confuse the issue with misinformation.

        It seems to me that NPR is reporting the news. They arent saying this is representative across the board, they are reporting the actions of a single person. And the issue of mandating that insurance companies cover pre-existing conditions is completely different than medicaid.

        Then, “to expand Medicaid — a central tenet of the Affordable Care Act,” is misleading because covering preexisting conditions is the central tenant of the ACA.

        There is more than one central tenet of the ACA. It is a large, very complicated piece of legislation. Both were crucial to the mission of the ACA.
