After Years Of Political Talk, The Obamacare Fight Gets Real
“What happens today is we’re going to move from this policy debate about Obamacare to a reality outcome debate: What impact does it have on millions and millions of Americans, and do they judge it to be good or bad?” GOP pollster Bill McInturff says.

“When the Connector opened for business in late 2006, people signed up. Within a year there were 367,000 newly insured citizens.”
Health Care Signup Begins Amid Government Shutdown
“The partial government shutdown will have no immediate effect on the insurance marketplaces because they operate with money that’s not subjected to the annual federal budget.”
To Survive, Obamacare Must Make It Through Implementation
“In the three years since President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law, the measure has survived more than 50 votes in Congress to defund or repeal it, a Supreme Court challenge and a presidential election. Obamacare goes operational on Tuesday. It’s only fitting that it opens for business on the same day the government is shutting down because Congress is having a big fight over this divisive law.”
