Most of the movement has been with Republicans.

Excellent. Looks like 2014 won't be a wipe-out at least on that issue.

Of course. Most Americans are already insured, and to them, the ACA will have almost no noticable effect.

You know you're talking about Democrat policy when everyone is relieved it won't wreck their lives. No effect is a victory for most weary Americans. Unfortunately, the status quo is terminal so healthcare bills with no effect aren't going to make the grade.

That's how we know he's not Wonkish - at least he pretended to be impartial and didn't resort to partisan hack turns as a first resort.

The more you research, the more you see the economic futility of the Democratic Party. The Democratic bureaucracy is designed only to maximize political power from social platform. That's why I identify as a Republican, despite being more of a social libertarian. I can't abide by economic incompetence.

Bipartisan political systems cannot sustain a party that promises to reduce/reform government when necessary and strengthen/enlarge government when necessary. The world is just sitting around, waiting for Democrats to use their social power to modernize the entitlement complex. They can't do it because it interferes with their social narratives.

They had a chance to reform, and they chose a populist do-nothing Republican bill--a federal half-measure that Republicans haven't supported since Hillarycare was thwarted--and they tried to turn it into some sort of wealth-redistribution Ponzi scheme. Fail hard, then wait for shifting demographics to save the party. How leadership. So democracy.

Bush dropped the hot potato. He didn't bake it.

We were subsidizing "outsource-proof" industries like housing and healthcare because US labor was becoming globally uncompetitive. Labor was globally uncompetitive because DC makes corporations foot the bill for insuring domestic tranquility and promoting the general welfare. US Corporations dumped American labor and moved overseas.

We are in the in between time, the employer mandate delay and individual mandate. That ACA hasn't hurt employment to degree where, there aren't jobs being created, it just created more part time work. The gap will close between perm and part time workers, when all employers have to cover. But, most places offer free clinics for physicals like STD check or flu shots, in which some people feel that's all they need.

If Obamacare has any positive impact on the US healthcare industry, the Raymond K Hessel effect with be the source. After threatening employers and the health insurance industry with mortal injury, they repent from fatalistic self-destruction and begin serving their customers.

Aim low and you will never be disappointed.
