Republican leader asks for Obamacare horror stories on Facebook, gets the exact opposite 

So that didn’t go as planned. Not that this should come as a surprise.

There was recent coverage on this in The Economist, pointing out that it’s actually been really good for the economy and the government’s budget, because a number of the predicted effects really did work the way the advocates said they would, and killing it would be really bad for us at this point.

And basically, when your vaguely-socialist program is effective enough that The Economist says “yeah, this is actually working, good show”, that’s sort of game over for the naysayers.
