>So clearly, this must be factually true, correct?

I didn't say that. You shouldn't try to put words in someone else's mouth. I was mainly looking for some credible, unbiased facts. A lot of the positive anecdotes seem to be ignoring price reductions due to tax credits or something but I am not sure. Huffington Post's story has a family of 5 getting insurance for $100-something, while I see people saying their family went from like $600 to $1,000+.

I didn't say you said that. boggle

My point was to bring up the general phenomenon of:

-- some people are stupid

-- some people are ignorant (and/or draw conclusions from a very limited or ephemeral data set)

-- some people are liars

-- some people are malicious

-- some people spin

-- some "people", on the web, don't exist, or they're sock puppets

-- some people have subjective tastes ("Burgers taste bad." --> Therefore, all burgers taste bad for everybody. What?)
