Obamacare, he asserted, has wrought “devastation.” He called it a “train wreck” that has cost millions of Americans their jobs or access to doctors of their choice, and forced employers to roll back working hours.

One thing I noticed about MS NBC and CNBC, is that they do not publish a phone number or email address for comments. They are opining in a vacuum.
If looks were any indication of intelligence, we’d know that this guys IQ is single digits.
“The recent successes of the Affordable Care Act”
I started LOL and I knew the rest of the article was total Obamaturd.
Yup.
Just go to the Gov website and look at the prices.
He would say he has a triple digit IQ. We know it is just 006.
I need to add a “Like” button. lol
Alas, for Stevie Benen @MSNBC, the pet project of his man crush 0bama is in fact a TRAIN WRECK. And scary (to wimps like Stevie) Ted Cruz isn't the first or only one to call it for what it is.
Yeah, his husband is probably even dumber than he is.
“Define “successes”.”
10,000,000 lose their health care. 5,000,000 are forced to enroll in Obamacare.
Net gain 5,000,000. To a liberal.
