Face it, Republicans: ObamaCare works

Last week, the Congressional Budget Office calculated that the law’s tax subsidies are costing 20% less than projected five years ago, when it was passed.

And in December, the feds reported that the once-ruinous spiral of spending on medical care slowed to just 3.6% for 2013 — “the lowest increase on record in the national health expenditures going back to 1960,” according one of the report’s authors.

It’s increasingly obvious, in other words, that the ACA, aka Obamacare, is beating expectations — not just of its critics, but also its supporters — and moving the country toward the sanity and security of universal health coverage.

So who will be the first major Republican to admit that Obamacare is working?
