I recall the conversation I had with a liberal True Believer only last week, when I suggested that 0bamacare was one reason for the way the polls were running. Her face got kinda red and twisty and she spat out, "Well, it's the law of the land now. Deal with it." And so I said, "Well, yeah, it's exactly that attitude that this is all about," she really didn't have a reply.

The facts: a multi-thousand page bill taking control of one-sixth of the largest national economy in the world was passed by a single party with not one vote from their opposition. The Senate rules for passage were deliberately altered with an eye to easing its passage. And nobody voting for the bill had read it.

That was all bad enough, but when it turned out that "you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor" was a lie, and "you like your health plan, you can keep your health plan," was also a lie, and that the predicted $2500 savings per family were also a lie, and that the website that was supposed to ease the country into this idiot scheme was a malfunctioning mess...hey, is anybody on the liberal side paying any attention to any of this? Of course people are mad, and when anything that looks like it might be politically unpalatable is illegally tabled by executive order until the elections are safely past, people notice. Despite media dismissal, we notice.

So yes, it's an issue. What is passing marvelous is anyone naive enough to think it wouldn't be.
