This was from an article in Newsweek and as most Tea Partiers know most of the funding for the anti-Obamacare ads came from the Koch Brothers and their affiliated Tea Party organizations. "Over the past four years, opponents of Obamacare have spent a whopping $418 million in TV ads opposing the new law, according to an analysis by the nonpartisan Kantar Media CMAG in May. The ratio of negative to positive ad spending on the law has been a massive 15-to-1." So if you are a Tea Partier all the ads might have backfired. Take a look at Idaho and Kentucky both pretty red states, especially Idaho. It looks like where the ads ran more people signed up for Obamacare. Republicans signing up for Obamacare can you imagine that?
If you don't have employer sponsored health care, aren't old enough to qualify for Medicare, and don't qualify financially for Medicaid, you have exactly two choices:
1. Have no insurance
2. Purchase an "Obama Care" policy
The suggestion that people who opposed Obamacare but are now enrolled in an Obamacare-compliant policy constitutes endorsement and/or hypocrisy is ridiculous.
You could pay a fine if you wanted to, or actually have that fine waived.
Again... Democrat Governor, Democrat majority in the House, Democrat Lieutenant Governor, Democrat Secretary of State, Democrat Attorney General, Democrat Treasurer, Democrat Auditor.
Nominal Democrats in that they don't run on national Democratic issues. They win by concentrating on local issues. In national elections, Kentucky is solid red; in state elections, it's usually blue, but a type of Democratic Party that distances itself from the national party. Color it however you want. It's certainly not Utah or Idaho, but in federal elections, it's about as dependably red. We elected Rand Paul by a 10 point spread over a quality Democratic nominee. He's not exactly the type of Senator you would expect to win in a landslide in a Democratic state.
Sure. Anything that boosts the number of insured people is a good thing for insurance company revenues.
So what?
If you don't want insurance companies to make money, have the government pay for all health care (that's the ONLY way to do it without insurance companies).

It works in every other modern Western country, but Republicans don't believe we can accomplish it here. They don't believe in America.
Obama adopted the Republican plan for healthcare and now 20 million more Americans have healthcare and yet Obama and the Democrats are taking credit for it. Why is it when Republicans come up with a plan that Obama and the Dems start to take credit for it? Shame on Dems for taking credit for a Republican plan.
20 get your 20 million (I suspect your figures are inflated) meant over 40 million lost health care plans they liked due to the great lie.
Mission accomplished, right?
