Obamacare is here. Get used to it.

[Playinghardball]

While Republicans were throwing their silly tantrum, Obamacare became a fact. There is no turning back.

The point of no return was reached when millions of people crashed the Web sites of the new Affordable Care Act exchanges while trying to buy health insurance. Republicans can fight rear-guard battles if they want, but last Tuesday they lost the war. All they can do at this point is harm the nation — and their political prospects.

…..
Medicare guaranteed health care for the elderly, Medicaid for the poor. Obamacare begins to fill the remaining gaps. It will get better over time, but already — crashing Web sites and all — it’s a beautiful thing.

2. And 10-15 years ago I would have said

"Full and unfettered access to abortion and reproductive medicine is here to stay! It's been voted on, and the Supreme court reiterated it. Give it up sore losers!!!!"

and also:

"Voting rights for all citizens are here to stay!!! Get used to it!!! It's been voted on and the Supreme court reiterated it!!! Give it up sore losers!!! Your time has come and gone!!!"

"Social Security is here to stay!!! Get used to it!!! It's not being cut!!! Give it up losers!!!!"

Now look at those things and how tenuous each is hanging by the thinnest of strings.

And those are and were more entrenched than a law that was just passed a few years ago.
