(Sigh) JR, you've either missed my point or you're trying to dazzle with numbers that aren't relevant to the topic. This is really simpler than you're making it.

Once again...here is the statement.

"A healthy majority of Americans are happier with their health care than they were before."

He did not say "A majority of Americans who have participated in the exchanges are happier". He did not say, "A majority of those with new plans are happier than they were before". Had he stated that, there are some surveys that back that, and some that don't. I acknowledge that some got better plans. There are also some who are unhappy, both with their plans and the fact that they lost their preferred doctor.

But his statement was, "A healthy majority of Americans are happier than they were before". Big difference. There's just no basis for saying that. I would never made a comment that the majority of Americans are unhappier than before, because nearly 60% of Americans haven't been affected to date. Yes, a bit over half of that 60% oppose AHCA, but they cannot (yet) make a material statement that their plan is better/worse then before.

And that final sentence regarding prejudice was trashy.
