Health Law’s Troubles Give GOP Much Needed Boost
WASHINGTON (AP) — The health care law's seemingly endless problems are giving congressional Republicans a much-needed boost by helping them move past the government shutdown debacle and focus on a theme for the 2014 elections.
Republicans' approval ratings plunged during last month's partial shutdown and worrisome talk of a possible U.S. debt default.
Now the GOP is back on offense.
Republicans pillory administration officials at congressional hearings.
They note that millions of people are losing their medical insurance despite President Barack Obama's promise that it wouldn't happen.
And they point to the program's flawed enrollment process.
Conservative groups are pouring money into ad campaigns reminding voters that many Democrats had promised that Americans could keep their current insurance policies.
These groups are especially targeting Democratic senators facing tough races next year.
