How is Obamacare not a disaster for the Democratic party? (revised)

[alarimer]

64. People haven't been screwed at all.

SOME people have to give up their cheap, shoddy insurance that covered nothing and pay a little more for better insurance. If they weren't so short-sighted (or dupes of the insurance company) they would see that.

But many of them did not actually know that many of these plans they're on are actually canceled every year anyway. They never saw that. And they also were unaware they could go on the exchanges (when the system worked) to get a better deal than the one offered by their insurance company.

This is the Republican's fault. Because so many red states failed to set up their own exchanges, the national system that took their places was hugely complicated to do. And, while there are problems, people can wait a while longer to sign up, when hopefully those problems will be worked out.
