ObamaCare Is Working – And The GOP Is Shifting Its Attack

After pounding Democrats on ObamaCare for the last several years, Republicans have a big problem. The law is working and their message is falling flat. This was confirmed again by testimony before the House Energy and Commerce Committee yesterday in which health care industry executives surprised Republican lawmakers. They said the law has not led to a government takeover of the industry, that most enrollees are paying their premiums as required, and that premiums are not certain to go up next year as Republicans claim. With more than 8 million people enrolled in health plans through the ObamaCare exchanges, many Republicans know it’s much harder to repeal the law now than it might have been several years ago. And they tried more than 50 times already without success.

I noticed last week that the babble about the ACA cut off like a facet and not one peep has been uttered about the ACA since they started on Benghazi.

Actually,isn't the number of covered Americans over 15 million? Medicare and Medicaid expansion,state exchanges and their Medicare expansion. The real kicker is in the Red States the new enrollment is taking off big time.

This whole dam Benghazi one trick pony is just a trail balloon for their next act. Stand by,it will be impeach the Kenyan in the White House. All you have to do is read the comment sections of your Media Outlets. The Rethugs have their boiler rooms running full bore with anti Obama impeach shit. If you doubt,just check the Drudge and associated links,what a sick bunch of liars.
