Who would’ve thunk it?

Obamacare is working and now Republicans aren’t so anxious to can it.

The shift has been crystallized in contentious Senate races this fall. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) recently signaled that Kentuckians benefiting from the state’s Obamacare exchange and Medicaid expansion should be able to keep their coverage. Senate GOP candidates Joni Ernst of Iowa, Tom Cotton of Arkansas, Scott Brown of New Hampshire and Terri Lynn Land of Michigan have all refused to call for rolling back Medicaid expansion in their states. The number of television ads attacking the law have plummeted in key battleground states since April, and now even vulnerable Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor of Arkansas is touting his vote for protecting Americans with preexisting conditions under Obamacare.

However, down here in Texas, Obamacare is the worst thing to happen since Elvis died.  Our conservatives have leaky thinking and they’d rather die in pain – or better yet, watch you die in pain – than admit that Obamacare might be handy in a life and death situation.

It’s the Republicans worse nightmare. They have given President Obama a legacy.  Just think if they had called Medicare “Johnsoncare.”  Lyndon would be a lot more popular now.
