“In a number of states that have working online health-care exchanges, more and more people are signing up for the insurance coverage that is available under the Affordable Care Act.”
I wonder how long it will be, before the GOP stops openly attacking it. If its really popular, its going to end up hurting them at the polls.
Nope, they will simply point to the states that aren’t working (many of which refused to set up their own exchanges) as proof that this isn’t working and never will. Cognitive dissonance will keep them from accepting that it is working, until they need it that is.
