In yet another attempt to craft and promote victims of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Fox News piggybacked on NBCs misleading coverage of two individuals whose current insurance plans are being cancelled. However, Fox ignored that their alleged victims could spend less on plans that dwarf their current coverage should they opt to use the state exchanges. The October 29 edition of Your World with Neil Cavuto featured two victims of the ACA who had previously appeared in a misleading NBC report on the sticker shock of the health care law. Host Neil Cavuto spoke first with Deborah Cavallaro, a Los Angeles resident highlighted repeatedly by NBC, who received a notice saying her current plan would be replaced by a plan with higher premiums. Like NBC, Fox failed to mention that Cavallaros current plan barely deserved to be called insurance at all. Moreover, neither network compared Cavallaros current plan to those that she could get on the California exchange, where a Bronze Plan would cost less and likely offer more coverage than her current bare-bones plan. mediamatters.org/blog/2013/10/29/once-again-fox-misleads-to-manufacture-obamacar/196658
