RE: the people who couldn't afford insurance before ObamaCare was passed.

Ever hear of medicaid?

>It will never "fail." It might be riddled with one problem after another for the foreseeable future, but it will always be defended based on the people who couldn't afford insurance before ObamaCare was passed.

Well, jesus, that's by FAR the most important thing, so... yeah, maybe. But I can't see that happening.

I would bet that if, on average, people's insurance premiums did double, and that only a couple of percent of those not yet covered get covered and that we'd barely have a net gain of people covered, then the Demos would lose both houses of Congress and the Presidency for most of the next generation.

And I'd also bet that those things aren't going to happen.

Hence even if ObamaCare becomes an implementation nightmare, Obama's legacy is already defined.

I really still don't get the logic..., but, ok

>That's one of many reasons why I don't believe Obama is all that concerned about the problems with implementation. When libtards are now telling Republicans, "It's the law of the land, get over it," you know that no amount of implementation problems will ever tank it.

It kind of sounds like what most conservatives say about the Second Amendment. Do they root for murders in states that enact gun control? Wait, don't answer that.
