Federal implementation documents project that “most” employer health care plans will need to be canceled and replaced with plans developed under the exchanges. Since the vast majority of people get their health care through employer health insurance and employer requirements have been delayed a year, what will happen in late 2014?
When will either the costs of health insurance plans start to skyrocket? Or will the cost sharing (i.e. subsidy from the federal government to health insurance company's start?)
Similarly, when will doctors start saying they will not take new medicaid patients whose number has been swollen with the exchanges? When will the IRS start penalizing individuals and garnisheeing their earnings when they fail to pay the fines for not having health insurance.
Those are the things that will kill public support. However, by the time those real issues are felt by enough people it could be impossible to unroll the ObamaCare regulations as too many people will be “hooked” both from the standpoint of insurance companies, medical providers, and individuals.
This is a really bad law, but it may or may not be too late to kill it. The real question will be how many negative headlines doe it get between now and the November elections.

It isn’t too late, IF the GOP can CLEARLY EXPLAIN an alternative to the public. Or to anyone, for that matter.
