Affordable Care Act Mini summary -- fighting The mis-Information

Since March 2012 when President Obama signed The Affordable Care Act into law.

Republicans/Tea Party in congress have been outright lying about what’s in the law. Well they actually started lying before the ACA was sign into law.

Now that The ACA has been upheld by The US Supreme Court. The Republicans/Tea Party in congress are really going all out to lie about the benefits in The ACA.

Below are some cold hard facts and web links that will stop them in their tracks when they try to lie to you. My hope in sharing this truthful information about The ACA is that it will help voters to understand what The ACA is all about.

There is a great deal of information/benefits in The ACA. Some take your time to learn what’s in it for you and your love ones, Republicans/Tea Party too. One of the most incredible facts about quality affordable health care is that Mitt Romney started it in Massachusetts.

Below I will try to address some of the current lies.

Republicans/Tea Party in congress are saying “ObamaCare is the largest tax increase in history.” LIE. Fact: Since 1950 The ACA comes in at 10th place in tax increases.No, ‘Obamacare’ isn’t ‘the largest tax increase in the history of the world’ (in one chart) http://wapo.st/MnSN8x

Medicare Premium Increases LIE.
Claim that monthly Medicare Part B premiums are set to jump to $247.00 in 2014.  http://www.snopes.com/politics/medical/medicare.asp

ObamaCare is a “job Killer” on small businesses. LIE.
Small businesses are and will receive a “Tax Credit” for providing health care for their employees. Go to: http://www.hhs.gov/intergovernmental/acaresources/
