Probably not. A new survey by Commonwealth Fund found that satisfaction with Obamacare health coverage is high across the boards - even among Republicans. Satisfaction is also high for people whose policies were cancelled because they didn't conform to the new (higher) standards. Who would have thought that people wanted health insurance? Not Bobby as the cornerstone of his campaign is repeal. In fact, that's the only idea he seems to have. How to help the uninsured? Repeal Obamacare. Grow the economy? Repeal Obamacare. Middle class jobs? Repeal Obamacare.
You can find more on this story in the New York Times
At some point the Republican strategist who coined the term "Obamacare" is kicking themselves - if they aren't already - because we suddenly have a successful government program that is doing what it is supposed to be doing and has Obama's name on it. A generation from now people will be referring to their health insurance as "Obamacare".
