Let's have an honest debate
Lt. Governor Mary Taylor, who has a history of misleading us on the ACA (see PolitifactOhio story at the link, finding her claims to be 'mostly false').

That same Mary Taylor put out a press release in August of 2013 to announce to Ohio residents that the cost of health insurance would go up 41% in the state as a result of the Affordable Care Act.

Headline news at the time, despite her documented struggle with accuracy on this subject.

Today, we know that the cost of obtaining health insurance has dropped nearly 50% for Ohio residents, as a result of Obamacare. But, the story was buried in section B of the hard copy paper and does not even appear in the online newspaper.

Nationwide, 8 million Americans have signed up for PRIVATE health insurance through the ACA exchanges.  Those receiving subsidies are paying an average of $82 per month, which is one-fourth what they would have paid without the ACA.

Why is this not also headline news? 

Why does Mary Taylor want to sabotage our debates about health insurance?
