GOP Goes Back on the Offensive on Obamacare

Well it seems that they just got a gift from on-high.

In the 2014 elections, "this is going to be a big issue, and it's not going away," said Daniel Scarpinato of the National Republican Congressional Committee. "Democrats who voted for Obamacare," he said, "are pretty desperately running around with their hair on fire, trying to distance themselves, which they're not going to be able to do." 

The White House says canceled policies can be replaced with better coverage, sometimes at lower prices. What the administration doesn't emphasize is that better coverage often costs more, and those looking for new policies may not qualify for the tax subsidies available under the new law. 

Sometimes the coverage is actually worse than what some people have before. In other words they will be paying more for less and the Dems are at fault. Too bad the GOP didn't just sit on their hands and wait for this thing to become a disaster. They could have rode in on a white horse to fix things instead of shutting down the government for no reason.
