This flippant attitude toward those harmed by the ACA will cost us 2014.

59. We shouldn't be handwringing about that which is unavoidable.

The right is going to find someone who is harmed by the law and put him (and it will be a 'him') on TV every single day.

I'd be willing to bet that 3 million young men will have their insurance costs go way up. It should be no surprise because that was the intent of the law. Of those 3 million young men, 40% (1.2 million) would have voted for democrats. Of that group 40% (500k) will turn out to vote. Half of that group (250k) won't be helped by subsidies.

That's a quarter-million voters at risk of alienation, but anyone who is familiar with the law should have seen this coming. We need to get insurance to the uninsured and working poor and put them on TV - not talking heads who already have insurance whining about a website that they've never visited and have no reason to visit doesn't work.
