KRUGMAN: Obamacare fails to fail. "You might ask why, if health reform is going so well, it continues to poll badly....Obamacare, by design, by and large doesn’t affect Americans who already have good insurance. As a result, many peoples’ views are shaped by the mainly negative coverage in the news media....And as I suggested earlier, people in the media...may be the last to hear the good news, simply because they’re in a socioeconomic bracket in which people generally have good coverage. For the less fortunate, however, the Affordable Care Act has already made a big positive difference. The usual suspects will keep crying failure, but the truth is that health reform is — gasp! — working." Paul Krugman in The New York Times.
