Anyone accepting the figure from the OP and by extension the assumptions required to believe it's true should be ashamed. Hell, the rebuttals are linked in the article presented. I'm not a fan of repealing ACA, well, at least not until a better plan is devised, but this type of shit is ridiculous. Those invoking it lose credibility when berating others for swimming around in their own facts. I'm finding it increasingly hilarious that a group that constantly lashes theists for having unsound and invalid arguments will accept almost anything as reasonable if their own bias is confirmed. This is the reason why most probably weren't even bothered at understanding the basis of the figure. Fake news comes in many forms. The author linked to the rebuttal and ignores it, or worse, doesn't understand why the number is bullshit.
