President Obama has so effectively gotten his message out about the benefit of parents being able to keep their kids on their health insurance through college that nearly 2/3 of Republicans are taking advantage of this. It turns out that the president wasn’t wasting his time. He was pushing back against a Republican misinformation campaign, and he won.

Yeah, that is probably why they pinned that name to ACA. You put Obama's name on it and people will run quickly into the night. Wrong! You know Cha, the GOP could be looking like heros right now. They already supported many of the elements of ACA. Just look at Romney-care in Mass. Sure it was strengthened by a Democratically held house and senate, however many of the basics were there.

Pretty sad that they let their hate of this President destroy much of their credibility.
