I love my Rollingstone magazine subscription, and I love Tim Dickinson.Well just as we all knew, the GOP's worst fear has come to reality. Obamacare is working. Healthcare costs per year now are at 1.3% which is less than 1/3 of the average since 1965, and 2014 insurance premiums are also running at 15% lower, than what the CBO had predicted.
It sounds like according to the latest polls also, that the GOP's derangement obsession with the ACA is backfiring on them. Another poll mentioned here, the Pew poll said that about 71% of the people wanted to keep Obamacare and/or make it better. The GOP admits that one thing that Dems are good at is to point out what Americans can lose if something is taken away from them.
I can see no reason what so ever why after reading this, the Dems should be wishy washy about their support of this law. If they stand up for it, and point out its many benefits, and what would happen if it were to somehow be taken away, I can't see any reason why in supporting this bill, they could lose. Its time to turn the tables on the GOP and point out their narrow minded obsession with this bill is keeping the country from moving forward on many other fronts, including jobs and the economy. The ACA is a winning message for the Dems, so Dems read this story and then RUN WITH IT AND EMBRACE THE ACA! This should help fire up OUR base. We already know the GOP base is motivated. Lets get going, and sweep out as many Repugs as we can, and stand and support Obamacare!!!
I have included this wonderful article here; Note: I am having problems with the link to Rollingstone. My first time doing this, so bear with me if this doesn't work. thank you.

One extra benefit that is within the ACA as well as all the preventives already included is now drug abuse treatment is NOW COVERED. This is HUGE. Personally I am grateful about this because I am going into a treatment center in about one week to get off a chemical dependency I have through no fault of my own to pain pills. I am a chronic low back pain knee pain sufferer, and I have decided I want to get off these pills now!! With the ACA's help I will do it!!! Thank you Obamacare!!!
