People Hating Obamacare

From Andrew J Ross in SF Chronicle

Despite the glitches, more than 500,000 Californians have visited Covered California in its first couple of days, and hundreds of thousands more across the country, in red states and blue – far more than expected – signed on with the new health insurance marketplaces, a core element of Obamacare.

Which would appear to make notions of “defunding,” “delaying” or otherwise ripping out the heart of the 3 1/2-year-old Affordable Care Act quaintly absurd.

That includes in Kentucky – home to avowedly pro-repeal GOP Sens. Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul – where thousands have already enrolled in new insurance plans, along with more than 100,000 others checking out the offerings.
