Affordable Care Act or Obamacare, it doesn't matter how you refer to it, it was a mistake. It will hurt Obama a bit in Nov., but if the economy is doing better, he'll edge out the GOP nominee (that's more hopeful thinking than much else).
Granted there are some good things in Obamacare, but for the most part it was just a dumb exercise in excessive compromise and special interest pandering. Imagine if Obama had, from day one, said, "it's simple folks, it's going to be Medicare for all." The fight would have been joined by lots of Americans, about 70% of us--we were ready for national health care but would settle for Medicare. It might have made it. If it hadn't it would be the GOP playing the health insurance blues in Nov., 2012. Was Obama gamed?
