Is the ACA imploding?

No, if anything all the early fears have settled down and people are growing content/indifferent about it.

Pretty much this. ACA is starting to go down like pretty much every other government program.

Regardless of whether the law is now imploding functionally (i don't believe that it is), it's already imploded in terms of public opinion.

RCP average has approval of the law at 39-54, which is a far cry from where it was in Nov 2012 and  worse than it was last month. The administration has lost the argument, it's hard to see approval of the law turning around dramatically at this point.

Oh please, we are not even a year into the ACA.

I meant before 2016. If Republicans manage to win the White House in 2016, Obamacare is dead (for better or worse) and this is all moot.

Obamacare is here to stay.

We already have several polls that show people don't support a repeal and several aspects of it is already popular. Seriously, no potential GOP president isn't going to be stupid enough to support a repeal(how are you going to sell kicking young adults under 26 from their parents health plans or the return or pre-existing conditions to people?)
