Obamacare Is Killing the GOP

GOP Obamacare Strategy Is Dooming the Republican Party | New Republic

Republicans' obsession with the law will be the party's undoing ...

Even if implementation goes terribly, it isn’t like to rekindle widespread angst. Most people will be untouched by implementation—even a disastrous implementation—for the simple reason that they won’t be relying on Obamacare. As Bloomberg’s Josh Barro has explained, 78 percent of us get coverage through Medicare, Medicaid, or our employers, a figure isn’t likely to change very much, or at least very quickly. Meanwhile, my colleague Jonathan Cohn points out that life for many people who do end up on Obamacare will improve, however flawed the program is, because it translates into insurance they didn’t have before.

The pubs desperately need for ObamaCare to be a hell of a lot worse than it is or will be.

Fact is, as people experience it first hand, they find its cheaper and gives them what they can't get under the socialist Reagan freebie at the ER.

Republicans don't need to talk about obamacare any more. It's destructive enough to fall on its own.

Why do they need it to be worse? Feinstein and Obama are the ones that lied about it today.

Untouched by the implementation - you are right since the 86 million people who are currently unemployed and have no income, therefore cannot qualify for Medicaid since they are not eligible as stated by the mandate.

You mean that population, right?
