12. It is all about the 2014 election. Those on Obamacare will tend to vote Obama's party.

By November, a lot of people will have benefited immensely from the ACA. This will change the election outcome because the Republicans will have been proven mistaken.

Watch what happens in the next year. Once people are enrolled, the Republicans are going to start calling "Obamacare" something else, removing Obama's name from the program for political reasons. It will suddenly become "socialist medicine" or some other pejorative term. (Pejorative in their minds at least--they might make 'socialist' seem like a good thing.)
