No, Consumer Reports did not turn against the administration or the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), it merely suggested that consumers wait and try again later.
Contrary to what Sean Hannity or Breitbart Dot Com say, Consumers Reports believes healthcare exchanges are the best way to obtain health insurance.
Here’s the company’s statement.
“Pundits opposed to the new health care law and some media outlets have tried to suggest that our coverage of the troubled HealthCare.gov site means that Consumer Reports has turned against the Affordable Care Act.
Not true. Consistent with our mission to inform and protect consumers, particularly in this complicated health care market, our advice remains the same: The best place to buy coverage on your own is through the Health Insurance Marketplace in your state. That guarantees you will get comprehensive coverage, and it’s the only way you can lower the cost of your premiums and possibly even your deductibles and copayments.
Doing that online in most states means registering at and shopping through the federal HealthCare.gov.”
And I’ll tell you who else is full of shit; liberal pundits, columnists, and bloggers who are professing that now is the time to join Republicans and pile on against the administration.
I wish I knew what reflexive disease compels liberal talkers to squander a big win by immediately shooting themselves in the foot.
Does Obamacare cover that?
