This just in: A guy changed his mind about Obamacare

Butch Matthews has changed his mind about Obamacare. BCBS has been jacking up his rates for years, and Matthews—who self-identifies as a "very strong Republican"—was skeptical that the health-care law would help him any. But it is helping: through Arkansas's new insurance exchange, Matthews can spend $13k less each year for a better plan with a lower deductible.

For some people, this might create a frustrating cognitive dissonance. They might explain away the role of the law they'd already decided they didn't like, or simply refuse to talk about it at all anymore. Matthews did something both simpler and rarer: he admitted that he was wrong. His advice to other Obamacare skeptics?

I would tell them to learn more about it before they start talking bad about it. . . Be more informed, get more information, take your time and study and not just go by just what you hear on one side or the other. Actually check the facts on it.
