AFP leader: $94K is 133% of poverty line

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

While $94K is not below 133% of the poverty line it is below 400% of the poverty line for a family of four, and the 400% level is the point at which the subsidies phase out.  So yeah, a family of four making $94K is eligible for Obamacare subsidies.  I'm not going to spend 15 minutes listening to the whole clip to find the exact phrase used.  So yeah, if she said they qualified for Medicaid, she was wrong, but if she said they qualified for subsides, she was right, albeit not much of one at that level. (400% FPL for a family of four is $95,400.)

dam u really got us libtards with this sick burn

Did you even bother reading the article? This little spat exemplifies the GOP's willingness to blatantly lie to the public about the ACA and avoiding this obvious fact is tantamount to offering excuses for Republicans.

Yes, I read the article.  I just didn't bother spending 15 minutes on the video to find the exact quote the woman said to find out whether she's being misquoted or if she misspoke.  Further, if it was a case that she misspoke, I have no way of knowing whether she did so deliberately or not.  I'm not a libtard or teatard, so I lack the ability of knowing for certain that everything the opposition says is part of an insidious plot to deceive people and hide the monstrous agenda of the un-American scum out to enslave us all in corporate and/or socialist shackles.

So rather than waste my effort on playing gotcha, I simply reported that a family of four earning $94K is eligible for subsidies under the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare).

Your moderate hero act is stale: there is no comparison between the campaign of misinformation waged by the AFP/the GOP and the rhetoric of the netroots/liberals. The AFP has consistently lied in campaign ads:

This isn't a game of "gotcha" or a partisan battle where both sides are equally at fault. AFP is systematically lying.
