Obamacare is Succeeding and Republicans Have No Idea How to React

From Ring of Fire:

The Affordable Care Act, aka “Obamacare”, is succeeding. Over 7 million people have signed up for insurance under the plan and it is projected and many millions more will see improved health care coverage as a result. But the right is refusing to recognize the success, even refusing to admit that it could possibly become a success. Obamacare is working and the GOP is only showing how out of touch it is with reality by ignoring that fact.

It’s even hurting their ability to legislate in other ways.

When Katherine Sebelius announced her resignation, Republicans jumped at the opportunity to say this was a sign of the overall plan’s failure. Instead of adhering to the general consensus that Sebelius’s resignation was a sign that Obamacare was ready to stand on its own, the GOP created an alternate reality for itself.

There was a clip from a month or so ago of one of the Fox and Friends. He started to say, "Obamacare," but stopped himself and said, "ACA."

It’s time that the GOP come back to reality and start doing what’s best for their constituents.


Hopefully, Democrats will use that line and help the gop help its constituents by getting the gop voted out of office.
