Oops. The Koch Brothers Anti-Obamacare Campaign Helped Obamacare

Oops: Did the Koch brothers' campaign to hurt the law actually help it? "A new analysis finds states that did really well at signing people up for the Affordable Care Act tended to have higher numbers of ads denouncing the law....Anti-Obamacare ads certainly aren't the only reason people signed up for health insurance. In Kentucky, for example, a state with some of the highest enrollment and ad spending, the state ran a really great private insurance marketplace. At the same time, there are a few plausible pathways where anti-Obamacare ads could encourage enrollment....Attacks could have raised awareness about the health care law....It's also possible that they made the future of Obamacare seem more uncertain, which could encourage people to sign up quickly." Sarah Kliff in Vox.
