Nope. To them it just doesn't matter. Their goals ae all that is important and if people get hurt in the process that is just tough luck.

But But Obama said we could keep our Insurance PERIOD! and keep our doctor,PERIOD.

Not if the people come from Republican-controlled states. If the states refused to implement Obamacare protocols, then it's not fair to claim their health insurance woes are Obamacare related.
When you watch news reports of people being helped by Obamacare, do you care?

Because every story like this on Fox News turns out to be not true when a reporter looks the people up. They were mistaken or just repeating what Hannity told them was happening.

they think of it as collateral damage for the "greater good".

Obama could cook and eat a live baby on TV and they would find a way to justify it.
These cool aid drinkers, the true believers, can not be swayed by logic.
They have faith in Dear Leader. For them it's like a religion

The Affordable Care Act is the best thing we've done for the poor since Social Security and Medicaid, and it doesn't matter how many times conservative media tries to smear it with half-true stories.

Any time I see something like this I ask a lot of questions:
1. Does this company have more than 50 employees?
2. On a group plan, the only variation of costs between employees are for family versus single. Why are there four different charge levels for these employees? Does it have anything to do with the fact that some are smokers and some are not?
3. What plans could these employees get if they opted out of the employer's plan and shopped the exchange?
Having watched so many of these things before, I find that when you drill down to the reality of what is happening, it has nothing to do with the ACA.
4. How much had their premiums gone up over the last five years, not just the 6% from last year?

yep... do you care when stories are shown showing people saving tons of money too?
I think there will be a few losers here... but many more winners... notice how cons usually cite single instances...
