Andrea Riccio was a shaker and mover behind "marketing" ObamaCare posing as a bit of a healthcare expert, at least from a political insider's perspective. This involved copious amounts of dis/misinformation, rampant in politics and a key ingredient of successful "marketing." One element persists to this day, unquestioned by those with a vocal opinion on the matter: the conflation of "healthcare" with "health insurance."
They are not the same. And now, Ms. [ed: can you say that?] Riccio realizes it due to a serious health issue with her husband. Reality struck:
"While I worked to stop efforts to 'repeal and replace' the law, I never thought I’d get a masterclass in health coverage or receive a letter from an insurer with limited explanation of why only half of a craniotomy was covered and half deemed cosmetic.'
It is even worse, as a Senator, who could vote up on down on the ACA, said to Vox News:
"I didn’t know that a good many health insurance plans had limits, I thought if you were insured, you were insured."
Perhaps the good Senator can be forgiven as he has Federal Government benefits so this holds true for him and he has never had to confront the issues the "little people" deal with on a daily basis. Makes it seem that he is preeminently unqualified to have anything to do with any legislation but suffer under it as everyone else does.
Take a moment to pause and reflect. Ponder the depths of ignorance from which the ACA (and almost every other federal legislation) arises. Clearly these people swim in the Fourth Order of Ignorance, only making it to the Third Order with confronted with unavoidable circumstances forcing knowledge upon them.
