but, repubs are going all out now on this, because their largest fear isn't obamacare. it's that once people get obamacare, they will like it and want to keep it. THAT is what repubs don't want to have happen. and the funny thing is, when you ask people if they like the different rules and regs in obamacare, they like it. but when you ask them 'do you like obamacare', they say no. quite a job done on branding by the republicans on this.
ask many of these same folks, who don't like obamacare, if they support the affordable care act, yes-yes, they do.
of course, they are also pulling this stunt in the lead up to the debt ceiling. that's the other part of their grand plan.

They hate Obamacare but just love The Affordable Care Act.
