It was supposed to be so easy this election year for Republican congressional candidates. All they would have to do was shout “repeal Obamacare!” and make a crack about government doctors and broken websites, and they could coast into office on a wave of public fury. The failure of the Affordable Care Act was simply assumed.
But it has not quite worked out that way. The government website was fixed, and 8.1 million people managed to sign up for insurance through the exchanges. An additional 4.8 million people received coverage through Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program. Three million people under the age of 26 were covered by their parents’ plans. Though the law itself has never been widely popular, most people say they like its component parts, and a large majority now says it wants the law improved rather than repealed.
...
The good news is that some Democratic candidates, sensing the same change in the weather, are beginning to campaign on the law’s benefits. Improving access to health care was the right thing for the country, and supporting it may turn out to be good politics, too.NYT Editorial
Hopefully the Dems do!!Quote:

Why yes, yes it was.Quote:

Researchers analyzing doctors' federal campaign contributions between the 1991-92 and 2011-12 election cycles found that doctors — who once contributed to Republican campaigns at consistently higher rates than the entire donor population — have become less enthusiastic donors to the GOP.

As hard as you try to dig with that shovel Ted Cruz set out to create a shutdown and he got his wish. The tactic won't be used again.Quote:
