Women, the backbone of the Democrat coalition are unhappy with 0bamaCare.
Democrats should be far more worried about white women who do not have a higher education. The numbers are astounding: In the latest Kaiser poll, 50 percent have a “very unfavorable” view of the law—9 points higher than in October. An additional 13 percent view it “somewhat unfavorably.” Indeed, antipathy among blue-collar white women runs even deeper than the most conservative white demographic group, blue-collar white men (59 percent of whom hold an unfavorable view, Kaiser found).
Remarkably, only 16 percent of blue-collar white women have a favorable view of Obamacare. They disapprove of it by a 4-1 ratio. (The poll found 21 percent did not know enough about the ACA to hold an opinion.) These voters are by no means a strongly Democratic group: Obama won just 39 percent of them last year. But they do lean further left than their male counterparts, and Democratic candidates in 2014 will need to perform even better with them to win reelection. In 2008, for example, Democrat Mark Begich won his Senate race in Alaska by claiming 54 percent of the white female vote, which constituted 41 percent of the state’s electorate. He’s a top GOP target in 2014.
Republicans suggest that white women’s deep pessimism is rooted in the cascade of negative media surrounding the law. “Women are more interested in having health care than men are,” said Keith Emis, an Arkansas-based GOP pollster who works for Rep. Tom Cotton, the likely Republican challenger to Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor. “They have paid a whole lot more attention to this.”
Obamacare’s unpopularity runs deep in other Democratic constituencies too. A new poll by Harvard’s Institute of Politics, for one, found millennials turning away from the law.
Don’t worry Democrats. If Republicans get in they will threaten more kids with drug arrests, thus driving the women back into the arms of the Democrats.

women are signing up in ever increasing numbers and when they get sick they will come running since your only anwser is no health care thats socialism don’t get sick or go die! And tort reform is not a health care plan. Even boner laughed when ask should a sick person go say tort reform when the doctor or hospital asks for money or insurance!
We used to have a lot of high quality charity hospitals before the government got so heavily involved in healthcare.
So let us see the record so far. Roughly 4 million more people without health insurance since the advent of ∅bamaCare(less). I’m sure you are proud of what has been accomplished so far.
And it doesn’t matter what you say about what is going on. It doesn’t even matter what I say. What matters is Nov. 2014.
But just to give you an idea of how it is looking out there:

Your main difficulty is that MagicMan can’t alter reality. It is getting so that even with the likes of you he can’t alter the perception of reality.
To echo Simon’s comment, from the Daily Caller:
Charles Krauthammer told Fox News Tuesday that the president’s last-ditch campaign to save Obamacare won’t work, saying it’s “sort of touching the way Obama believes in the power of rhetoric — his rhetoric — in denying and trumping reality.”

Randy,
Nice one.
The charity hospitals couldn’t handle all of the deperate poor and most people went to hospitals to die as their was very few treatments for cancer and other serious illness and patients were put in a hospital bed to die which cost money but was not prohibitively expensive to whearhouse the dying! I was around back then their was one charity hospital called children’s hospital and they had a waiting list to seek treatment if you were a white child if you were black or brown good luck getting on the list! The county hospital had lines with thousand people waiting in line to be scene with some dying in line waiting even though the county hospital for some time was desertified for poor patient treatment people were desperate! This why I find conservatves disgusting!
As for 2014 every month 100,000 minority kids turn 18 voting age and they hate republicans as much as I do and being minority they get hassled for their id’s all the time so they have them! In 2012 conservatives thought they would win because all their white trash friends were goppers and they didn’t know any minorities except those working for them who were afraid to tell them who they were voting for so you wouldn’t fire them!
