obamacare could really put wind back in the sails of repubs if costs & taxes spiral out of control. that is, of course, if repubs would stop mouthing off about rape & abortion.
It's more than speculation. It's making the clear point that Washington doesn't have any other options to fund Obamacare. The tax on the wealthy and the medicaid reductions are already committed to reducing the $16t debt.
