This is the answer coming from the WH or those involved anyway . I thought I had seen this article posted but I didn't see it this morning, it is about a woman who has cancer losing her health care do to Obamacare and this article has tweets from a few in our Government .
President Obama's top communications strategist sparked outrage on Monday after tweeting a blog entry that belittled a cancer sufferer's concerns about losing her doctor and insurance because of Obamacare.
Edie Littlefield Sundby, a California woman with stage-4 gallbladder cancer, wrote a powerful Wall Street Journal (http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304527504579171710423780446) op-ed that she will soon lose her medical insurance – and access to her life-saving oncologists – as a direct result of the Affordable Care Act.
But Think Progress (http://thinkprogress.org/health/2013/11/04/2881581/wall-street-journal-horror-story-cancer-patient-losing-doctors-wrong/), a far-left blog, countered with an article claiming that her insurance company, United Healthcare, left her in the lurch because it chose to abandon the individual insurance market for financial reasons.
Dan Pfeiffer (https://twitter.com/pfeiffer44/status/397368541348782080), the White House communications director, tweeted a link to that story, titled 'The Real Reason That The Cancer Patient Writing In Today’s Wall Street Journal Lost Her Insurance.'
The impact on Twitter was both fast and furious, since Pfeiffer's Twitter feed is an 'official' White House account, meaning that it speaks for the administration.
