Obamacare and Republicans: A Historical Perspective: Failed Republican Governance

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/03/08/1369374/-Chuck-Todd-comes-clean-on-Obamacare-and-kinda-exposes-failed-Republican-governance?detail=facebook_sf#

Chuck Todd and Meet The Press finally came clean on Obamacare albeit less stinging to Republican failures as it should have been. He started the piece noting that the Supreme Court case, King v. Burwell, could severely damage the law.
Last week I wrote the piece "When will political malpractice stop being rewarded?" where I said the following.
The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) was in Washington recently. Virtually every potential candidate spoke out against Obamacare. Ted Cruz called it a train wreck. Maybe he was thinking about the healthcare train wreck in Texas. After-all, by refusing to take back $100 billion dollars in Texas taxpayer dollars from the federal government in the form of the Medicaid Expansion to the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), over one million Texans remain uninsured. This political malpractice will kill millions of Texans. The traditional mainstream media simply reported Ted Cruz’s statement. No context was provided. He said this in the same week Gallup reported that in fact Obamacare is not a train wreck but a policy that is actually reducing the uninsured rate.
