7. Hopefully it will matter as much as it did(n't) in 2012

Although, people are actually beginning to see more of the benefits of the law whereas in 2010 and 2012 it was still more abstract. However OTOH I'm sure that Republicans are going to trot out all of the "horror stories" about people losing their junk insurance policies and smears about website security, etc. and most of the people whom believe such nonsense aren't going to bother doing any fact-checking and just believe that it's true- and more of them will probably come out to vote. Although, on Kagro (Daily Kos) the other day, one of the participants noted that the people that hate ACA have hated it since it was first being discussed. The Republicans have them and Democrats have the other people. The question that remains is whether or not the Republicans are going to bring some indies into the fold. I would like to think that, at some point, people are simply going to get tired of talking about all of the (non-)"horrors" of ACA and insist that we move on to talking about other things. ACA is law, it's not getting repealed anytime soon, the website seems to be fixed, people are signing up en masse now but the Republicans don't seem to be slowing down on attacking it day after day. You'd think that THEY would be getting bored with it by now.
