Peter Suderman on Challenges to Implementing Obamacare
Since debate about health care reform began, voters have been consistently wary of the law that has become known as Obamacare; as of today, Pollster.com's aggregate shows that 47.8 percent of the public opposes the law while just 39.2 percent approve. Yet in voting to give President Barack Obama a second term yesterday, America also implicitly voted to keep the health law that bears his name in place. So is Obamacare here to stay?
Yes, at least for now. But big questions still remain. We know we'll keep Obamacare on the books, at least for the foreseeable future. What we don't know, writes Reason Senior Editor Peter Suderman, is whether it will work.
