The response is overwhelmingly positive. It's awfully hard to be against the end of the dreaded pre-existing condition. the end of the Medicare "donut hole", being able to keep your kids on the policy until 26 yo and the list go's on. It's the beginning of the end for the Tea Party although old angry white racists will always be with us. What must the Republicans do? The most hated word in thier lexicon: Moderation.

It never did any of the things that the President laid out as goals. So you can try to pass that off as a plan, but you'll have to go over to Delaware Politics for anyone to buy it.
