The crown jewel of Obamacare’s effort to contain healthcare costs, the creation of Accountable Care Organizations, is so unwieldy that major provider groups have said they won’t participate. The idea is to consolidate doctors, turning them into employees of large systems, and then pay these systems lump sums of money to take care of groups of patients. A letter from 10 major medical groups that previously ran similar programs said, “it would be difficult, if not impossible” to accept the financial design created by Obamacare. In another rebuke, an umbrella group representing premier medical organizations said 90 percent of its members wouldn’t partake.

How does Obama get re-elected when this is his major accomplishment?
A possible answer is that the people get so distracted that they forget about it.
So, what do you Republicans do about this situation? Wring your hands about the latest polls? Or try something that will work?
Hammer the hell out of the issue. Don't let the public forget why they don't like this law. For that matter, keep hammering on the jobs issue, the debt issue, and the economy in general. That's the big issue in this campaign. If they do this, they can't lose.
