So which Democrats are going to be running on Obamacare

[Amelia]

Now that it's been given the SC imprimatur, are Democrats going to be heralding the accomplishment in their campaign ads?

 

[theDoctorisIn]

They already are.

 

[Amelia]

Yes? For example?

Even candidates in places where the swing vote matters?

I was wondering if you really meant running away from....

 

[Neotrotsky]

A lot will be running from their "Lord"

 

[Political Junky]

You can bet Romney won't be running against Obamacare for long. It's what he did in Massachusetts.

 

[Black_Label]

Now that the GOP thugs got their asses kicked with the supreme court ruling, I'd bet every one will be running on the victory of the affordable care act.

 

[Dr.House]

They already are.

Probably not the ones who refuse to attend the DNC convention, right?

Just when you think one may have brains, then they do this. Amazing how shallow the thinking is around here.

I don't know, I don't get emails from any of them.

I will say, all the candidates that I've somehow found my way onto email lists for are campaigning and fundraising on "Obamacare".

It is so funny that we heard for the longest time that obama was going to lose if the supreme court found the health care mandate unconstitutional. but we were all doomed if SCOTUS upheld it because everyone in the stock market was going to sell everything and move somewhere else despite the fact america is one of the biggest markets out there. The constitution was supposed to spontaneously combust if it was upheld.

Of course, it was upheld. obama's numbers did not take a hit and even got better in some places. The stock market actually went up the day it was announced, and still has not collapsed like it did for Bush. Gas prices are still down. The constitution is still there. Families are not dying off because they have what they call obamacare. I am just waiting for november and hoping Obama wins so that I can see the rape and destruction of logic and reality they wilkl come up with to show how an Obama win is really an obama loss.

It is so amazing ho nomatter what it is is somehow a win for the GOP even when their own people end up turning against their idiocy. 20 years from now the GOP will be stripped of all meaning and just be the delusionary extremists who drove all the moderate intelligent people away, and for some reason they will still be as strong as ever if you talk to their delusional members.

It is like old bigots. they sit around in their houses today because when they go outside they are reminded that they lost, but in their houses they can watch fox news and live in their fantasy world until their younger family members come to visit and remind them that the world outside scares the fuck out of them.

This election is a referendum on the economy and ObamaTax.

Shellac the Sequel coming.

I do not recall it ever being called a tax - or perhaps Romneytax....

Remember, its Obamatax now... not Obamacare... because we all know he never cared in the first place.

Running unopposed or heavy democrat districts?

Understandable...

Oh, I see. Of course. That's different from the kind of advertising I had in mind. Those email lists are a mostly self-selected audience who can be expected to react fairly positively to people bragging about ACA.

I was thinking about whether the candidates would take it to the public airwaves where they might risk reminding swing voters of bad feelings they had about the ACA.

People running unopposed usually don't worry to much about fundraising.

But you're right, in the sense that as Amelia pointed out, they're targeted ads, not public ones.

Hmm. I don't think so. Polls show most of this country do not approve of Obamacare. The house will be forcing another vote on Obamacare--which is going to expose a lot of democrats running for reelection in their home districts. We'll see what they do.

 

[francoHFW]

The polls also show people don't understand Obamacare, what's in it for them...

Just gloom and doom Pubcrappe....

Romneycare for all!! Already a great success.

Maybe you can get that surgery you need to jump start your brain working again.

That would not be a success.....it would be a miracle.

Romneycare a great success, none of the PUB doom and gloom.

Frontline said cost rises are now 2%, easily the lowest in the USA. So change the channel...

"For this reason he also provided for subsidies for individuals living below three times the federal poverty line to make insurance affordable. This “three-legged stool”—banning discrimination in insurance markets, mandating that individuals purchase insurance, and providing low-income subsidies for insurance purchase—became the basis for both our reform in Massachusetts and for the Affordable Care Act (ACA).The enormous success of health-care reform in the almost six years since its passage in Massachusetts can make us more confident that this three-legged stool will work for the nation as a whole. We have covered about two-thirds of uninsured Massachusetts residents, and have lowered the premiums in the non-group market by half relative to national premium trends. And we have done so with broad public support. Moreover, this reform succeeded without interfering with the employer-sponsored insurance market that works for most of our residents: employer-sponsored insurance coverage has actually risen in Massachusetts, while falling sharply nationally, and the premiums for employer-sponsored insurance rose no faster in Massachusetts than they did nationally.This was all possible because the individual mandate ended the “death spiral” of trying to obtain fairly priced insurance by just forcing insurers to charge everyone the same price. The bottom line is that we can’t have fairly priced insurance for the healthy and sick alike without the broad participation that is guaranteed by the mandate. The mandate is the spinach we have to eat to get the dessert that is fairly priced insurance coverage.
