It's time the GOP acknowledged the good in this law and started focusing on fixing the bad. The expat fix is a good start.

Sure, insuring more people is expensive. Especially if the feds are the ones doing the insuring. Or paying for it through subsidies. And those bills will come due sooner rather than later. This “free health care” isn't free.

But the alternative is for more costly, both economically and morally. (Does anyone really think those city council prayer meetings the justices just signed off on included missives for the health care needs of their constituents?)

One of my advisory board friends—a staunch conservative—didn't hesitate to give a nod to the numbers.

“Good news,” he said. “But we need to spread the credit around though. Lots of education by the industry in the last few years that's hard to measure. The article also fairly points to Medicaid expansion as a contributor.”

Republicans need to attack this wild expansion of Medicaid and how much that will cost us.

Despite what should be the success story of this entire administration, the latest Pew Center poll shows lingering opposition to the law. Pew found 55 percent of registered voters disapprove of PPACA. Odd, to say the least.

I’m guessing very few of those registered voters were without health insurance before. Talk about biting the hand that feeds. I’m pretty sure if I ate dinner tonight, then stood up from the table and told my wife how much I hated it, I wouldn't be getting another meal anytime soon. If I didn't get a plate to the head.

But Republicans would make a tragic tactical blunder in simply chasing that 55 percent. They’ve got to look beyond that or they’ll be forfeiting—at the very least—the 8 million potential voters who just signed up for health insurance. I’m sure Mitt Romney would have loved to garner a few of those votes.
