Daily Kos: Krugman on "The Obamacare Shock"

Daily Kos: Krugman on "The Obamacare Shock":

Krugman on "The Obamacare Shock"

notes the Republican hope that when the Affordable Care Act goes into effect people will be so shocked it will give their side a political advantage,   In his New York Times column he lays out his premise with news many here already know; his second paragraph reads
No doubt there will be problems, as there are with any large new government initiative, and in this case, we have the added complication that many Republican governors and legislators are doing all they can to sabotage reform. Yet important new evidence — especially from California, the law’s most important test case — suggests that the real Obamacare shock will be one of unexpected success.
Except there will be places where it will not be as big a success, and that, too will play AGAINST Republicans.
