In reply to the discussion: Krugman: Obamacare Will Be A Debacle — For Republicans [View all]merrily
(45,251 posts)19. FYI, there positions Rick Perry and Ted Cruz would never take.
Nor would Krugman take them, at least not publicly.
Such as Obamacare being a huge gift to health insurers* And I am not sure you are correct about most posters here taking an "either or" position on Obamacare. I've read plenty of criticism here about it.
And Krugman says, as quoted in the OP, that we are not going to know how Obamacare works until it becomes fully effective. So, he made no prediction carved in stone either.
If you think I lean right, then you are not very perceptive.
Peck away.
*ETA: and pharmaceutical companies.
