> Your first claim is an opinion rather than a fact.

If you haven't looked it up, why would your claim that this is an opinion be anything other than noise? Find out whether its a fact or not (if you care) and come back and tell us.

> From my OPINION there are more people covered and are benefiting from medicare and medicaid because of those improvements.

This is not a matter for opinion. It's a claim fact that you can choose to verify or not.

No, when someone posts something claiming it's a verifiable fact, it's their job to support it with citation. Until they do that, it remains an opinion.
Please choose to be part of the solution instead of part of the problem. Parent comment offers you a more reasonable way to think about it; the right thing for you to do is to provide verifiable evidence against bogus claims, otherwise it's just yelling at each other on the Internet, and nothing of any value happens. This isn't what HN is for, and it sucks for everyone else having to wade through such drivel.

FWIW, I agree that the GP post you first responded to is trash.

Take a moment, breathe deeply and try to relax ;)
