Silly cwolff. ACA would not be getting credit if this exact same story happened 5 years ago, but instead it would be a story about how a guy avoided having to pay for insurance for years and then ends up getting 'a free ride' on the premiums of others.

The question is why is the story not about the later?
I'm sure some conservative rags will vilify the subject of this story. Probably not the mainstream ones like Fox but the fringes will. One thing that should scare is that he's a poor white republican and he's having a positive experience with ACA. Kind of like all those Kentuckians. If the right loses the poor whites they're really in trouble.
