Obamacare is winning-washingtonpost: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act — better known as “Obamacare” — is winning. From March 23, 2010, the day it was signed into law, to November 6, 2012, the day President Obama won reelection, the law’s survival was continuously in doubt. House Republicans voted to repeal it more than 30 times. Conservative judges voted to invalidate it. Every Republican presidential candidate promised to get rid of it. But the law endured. It now seems certain to be fully implemented in 2014, as planned. And Republicans are making their peace with it.
