Earlier this year, the Republican game plan for health care was pretty straightforward: attack “Obamacare” constantly, make it the centerpiece of the 2014 cycle, and wait for the inevitable victories to roll in.

The very idea that we’d see a Republican governor bragging about Affordable Care Act benefits – in the final stretch of a tough re-election campaign, no less – seemed hard to fathom. And yet, here we are

They did everything they could to weaken it and disrupt it.

Then they talked about how bad it was in hopes it would fail.

Everyone should see this for what it is, the ugliest form of partisan politics that cares more about Party than the health of millions.

For many who do not benefit from this ACA, the acronym actually means the "Absolute Crap Act." We needed a single payer system that takes care of everybody and we got increased profits for insurance companies and a constant whine by the medical industry that the costs are rising and we always have to pay more. It is crazy to imagine that this thing doesn't need a complete overhaul. It excludes too many people and still charges many people far more than they can afford.
