Is the Republican Advantage on Obamacare Eroding?

[Playinghardball]

With HealthCare.gov finally working, Democrats are able to fight back in the Obamacare anecdote war.

The White House and its outside allies are already ramping up a massive effort to emphasize the personal stories of people getting coverage under the health care law — ground that Democrats were largely forced to concede to the GOP during the uproar over canceled insurance policies.

Collecting constituent stories has been a focus of the Republican strategy against the health law for several weeks. But now, with HealthCare.gov working better and enrollment beginning to surge, Democrats are prepared to launch a deluge of pro-Obamacare anecdotes as they try to promote enrollment and make a political sales pitch for the Affordable Care Act.

…. This week, Enroll America and some of its partner organizations — including Families USA and Planned Parenthood — is launching a major new initiative to highlight positive experiences of those enrolling in coverage. The push will involve a coordinated weekly theme that highlights stories of certain demographics.

1. Yes, and it will continue to do so

I don't think they had the upper hand on this to begin with.

3. But the supreme court ruled last week that TV STATIONS DONT HAVE TO AIR ADS THEY DON'T LIKE

And since the right wingers own the media, my guess is they will charge more and air less for the pro-populist folks.
