This isn’t a political blog, but by all appearances those who arrogantly forced Obamacare down the nation’s unwilling throat–remember Speaker Pelosi’s in your face march across Capitol Hill?–seem to face a stiff electoral price. Polls show that the public’s opposition is growing, almost half the states are in open rebellion, with lawsuits filed and efforts taken to opt out of the law, and those who pushed the law through the Congress are being urged by Democratic pollsters to run away from their signature “achievement.”

(See the clip embedded above.) The group working energetically to promote repeal, including urging physicians to place a letter to patients in their waiting rooms.
