As they say, all politics are local. It's funny how many republicans I meet work in sectors that would be eliminated if the party they claim to be a member of were to have their way. For example, last night I had lunch with a women that works for a large cities housing authority. Basically, they provide or manage rental properties for the poor. The tenant is mandated to pay 30% of their income for rent and the government pays the rest. This program wouldn't exist in a republican controlled world, yet she's a republican. So odd. Anyways, All politics are local and as the ACA gets better at signing people up and better at communicating their effectiveness via testimonials etc from those that have used it, it is possible that it will be harder and harder for politicians at the state level to get rid of it. Even in red states. It's possible, but then again as I mentioned above, people have a weird way of biting the hand that feeds them.
