Ah - sweet sweet schadenfreude!!

Eh, sorry the necromancy, but it's germane to this thread.
Healthcare premiums for obamacare going to be lower in 2015
The takeaway is this:

Obamacare has been a political failure for the Democrats — and,
frankly, a political failure period. Its passage was a bitter,
polarizing war; its launch was multi-month catastrophe; and the law
remains unpopular even today. But the law is quietly losing its
toxicity: fewer members of Congress are running against it, and Republican policy elites are actively trying to persuade their party to give up on repeal and instead "transcend"
Obamacare — which is to say, use it as a platform for their own
health-care ideas. This is in part because voters seems to be moving on:
Aaron Blake notes that Obamacare now ranks behind "other" in polls asking Americans why the country is off-track.

The electorate moving on means Obamacare's mounting achievements
don't get nearly the attention of its early failures. But the law, at
this point, is doing more than simply defying the doomsayers; it's
proving to be a real policy success.

So, I'm thinking in 5-10 years time frame, the GOP will be trying to claim credit for the central idea behind Obamacare.
