Just in time for the 2014 elections.
No Democrat should be re-elected since every last Dem in Congress and in the Senate voted for this disaster. Whining about not being able to afford this monstrosity does no good if you are stupid enough to vote for the instigators again.
My wife works at a supermarket and talks to lots of people. The older folks hate Obama and Obamacare. The young people generally don't know what's going on, or are the usual useful idiots. And sadly, there are many middle-aged people who are oblivious as well.
Yesterday, one asked her, "What's so bad about Obamacare?" She simply had no idea.
Is there any excuse for such ignorance? I can't imagine that these people will ever get it.
No, there's one more provision that won't be fully obvious until after the 2014 election: the Obamacare penalty, err.... tax..
2014 is the first year that it will be assessed. But, I don't think it will be "due" until you file your tax return for 2014, which means April, 2015.
THAT will take the wind out of one of Obama's biggest constituencies: the young middle-class. If they don't have insurance through their employer, I expect that very few of them will bother to get health insurance on their own.
Some will willing do so, because it's cheaper to pay the penalty, err.... tax. But, I believe most are LIVs that are completely oblivious. And they are going to be pissed.
