Rolling Out Obamacare

Matt Yglesias has a thoughtful column up about the rollout of Obamacare starting this fall.  It's worth a read.  But if you know a conservative, don't let them know they're

... certainly fooling themselves if they’re expecting a backlash driven by problems around implementation. The law is structured to be financially beneficial to a large majority of people, and the infrastructure is in place to make that clear to a critical mass of them. Snafus will be real enough, but broadly speaking, the rollout is going to be a huge success.

Professor Krugman, what's your take?

... I agree with Matt Yglesias — unless the GOP finds even more ways to sabotage the plan, this thing is going to work, it’s going to be extremely popular, and it’s going to wreak havoc with conservative ideology.

And,

Conservatives are right to be hysterical about this: it’s an attack on everything they believe — and it’s going to make Americans’ lives better. What could be worse?

(Rant alert!)  Rethuglicans are a delusional, sociopathic, nihilistic, social Darwinist, party-over-country, knuckle-dragging mob masquerading as a political party.  It's no surprise at all that we see Rethuglicans fighting tooth and nail to sabotage Obamacare and deny health benefits to 30 million Americans, just as a few generations ago they fought tooth and nail to sabotage Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

But as people begin to reap the benefits of the law, you can add "defeated" to that list of adjectives above.

No thanks to the media, of course.
