Were the Russians behind all the fake news about the ACA from the beginning? Remember, there were at least two studies that showed that the ACA (Obamacare) was working well for many people across the country and was not "collapsing" as the GOP would have us believe. President Obama always said that it was only the start of good healthcare and that ACA would need to tweaked in the future and would need bi-partisan fixes down the line. More Medicaid expansion would have helped but the GOP governors refused.
My thinking now, looking at all the latest revelations about how much influence Russia has over our Congress, is that Russia may have used a lot of their info bots on targeted area to turn people in the red-states against the very same healthcare insurance that was helping them. What else would explain so much counterintuitive behavior by these people? Look how many didn't know that the ACA that they loved was actually Obamacare.
If you really want to get the attention of the GOP base that is not interested in what Russia is doing to us, link it to their healthcare issues. I think there may be a real link. Go back and look at the organized campaign against Obamacare. And that campaign became a critical part of the meme against HRC too. STAY WOKE!
