because the whole thing is just being rolled out. and when it has a little more time to mature and take root, i think the fact there are more winners than losers will become public knowledge. jonathan allen, when it comes to the affordable care act, the republican strategy remains to rip it apart and promote repealing the whole thing. that doesn t seem to be waning at all. here was tom coburn this weekend on meet the press. obama care right now causes people to spend more money, have less choice, have a higher deductible, and have less freedom what i would say is we need to change health care. but what they ve done, you can t fix this mess. and meanwhile, rand paul this weekend spoke about the new health care law as a rallying issue for the right next year. here s what he had to say. it s looking to be a juggernaut in 2014 mainly because obama care, i think, is not fixable, continuing to get worse.
fix this mess. and meanwhile, rand paul this weekend spoke about the new health care law as a rallying issue for the right next year. here s what he had to say. it s looking to be a juggernaut in 2014 mainly because obama care, i think, is not fixable, continuing to get worse. i think by next summer not only will there be millions of people who have lost their insurance because of obama care, there ll also be hundreds of thousands that have signed up and now gotten sticker shock this is a lot more expensive than what they used to have. prognosticate. let s look forward. will this be the issue of the 2014 midterm election? i think it probably will be. we re already seeing it. i don t anticipate that the president s party, the democrats are going to be able to get out from under this. the reason is this. even if the health care law is up and running and is more popular next november, you still have a question of the
