Obamacare is still a liability to President, Democrats

NY Times:

Signature Issue for Obama Looms Large Ahead of Election


The Affordable Care Act has prevailed in the Supreme Court, but two years after its approval, the public is no happier with the law than it was then.
All the court ruling has done is energized to opposition.  If Obama and the Democrats think that the public is ready to accept this monstrosity, they will be in for another shellacking in November.  It will be well deserved.  Cramming liberalism down on the voters is always a mistake and this is a big one.

Republican governors are wise not to waste any money or political capital on setting up the exchanges called for under the act.  Their voters do not want it.  They want to defeat those responsible for this control freak policy.  The court decision has given them no alternative but to vote against Democrats wherever possible at all levels of government.

The Times in an editorial pushes for surrender, and the President has urged people to accept their fate, but that is not going to happen.  They still underestimate just how despised this act is.

Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
