Have you ever heard a Democrat call it a success? Why not? When over ten million people are now covered that weren't covered before Obamacare came to be (medicaid, children on parents policy, and actual enrollment) I would call that an absolute success and expect it will do nothing but get better and better as time goes by. Why don't Democrats talk success? All we EVER hear is how Obamacare is a failure. I am tired of hearing nothing but lies..If Democrats don't start speaking up then expect Republicans to win in this years elections.

(36,392 posts)the one about how Repukes are chomping at the bit to vote while Dems are "meh"
A HUGE reason for this is that the Repuke candidates are focused and rabid, while the Dem candidates are hiding, cowering, and trying to sound like Repukes.

They won't get the same airtime as Rs do.
Why don't we help out by talking of its success? Why do we have to sit back and judge others so much on this board? It is tougher for Dems as the M$M is clearly carrying the Rs water. We have to counter that, not blame other Dems for it.

All I ever see are LTE in the local paper complaining about ACA or Obama.
All I ever see on the tube (cable and nat'l news) are complaints by repubs about ACA or Obama.
Only MSNBC has anything resembling a fair comment and that's only after the fox mainliners are on and nobody but us is watching.

(63,889 posts)reaching its enrollment goal, and hearing from more and more people who have stories to tell of being grateful for having health care at long last, and NOT hearing ANY stories of failure (and the ones we heard/saw turned out to be total fakes), I am encouraged.
Now the GOP is trying to poke little holes in the success stories but mostly that is piddly compared to the actual stories of people being helped by the ACA.
