obamacare is a political pig thats not helping democrats win votes.

I have long said that Obamacare is just step one towards us getting a single payer system in this country. Obamacare as a whole is set up to fail mainly for two reasons. It put a lot of people into the system who had pre-existing conditions and couldn't get covered before and it hasn't been able to offset them with enough healthy people. Second, it does nothing to lower the actual cost of the care and drugs. Combine the two and it is going to cause costs to continue to rise. Eventually we will hit a breaking point. I don't think we are there yet, but at this rate we will get there in the next 10 years.
Here is the thing. Registered Democrats strongly support Obamacare even with its flaws so any Obamacare bad news won't hurt her with her base. Where it might is with independents. Still, I think we are a few years away from the real pain so I just don't think this is going to be that big of an issue in this election.
