There was also the scare-mongering associated with "keeping your insurance plan". Failing to realize that a great many people had been diligently paying for a plan that was NEVER going to pay out for any reasonable expenses. Plans so bereft of decent coverage that it would have bordered on criminally negligent had the ACA offer something like them. But how do you make that argument? You can't keep that because it's shitty and we can't offer something worthless? They should have made this point but it was honestly not on their radar, that something so miserably bad would be out there.
