Today marks four years since President Obama consummated America’s decades-long dalliance with health care reform. The White House’s East Room was the venue for the ceremony that day, during which the president, a metallic blue tie around his neck and a light dusting of gray in his hair, applied his powerful signature in 22 clipped dashes — two pens per letter, one for each of his honored guests — to the Affordable Care Act, which we know as Obamacare, the law Republicans say, on this anniversary, will fuel another midterm election sweep.
The legislation itself is massive, ground-breaking, and meaningful in a way that goes far beyond the provisional requirements. Obamacare in its four years and all those to come, barring #FullRepeal, is and will be pretty much anything the country wants.
So after four years now of Obamacare, President Obama’s legacy-in-waiting, most on the center-right on out still regard it as a liberal’s pie-eyed dream — a dream that, like all the rest, “has a monster at the end of it.”
Democratic elected officials — the ones retiring, not running or having their seats threatened in this coming mid-term election — argue that no, there’s no monster, and that if you step back and look again, if you’re inclined to really try and see, where “once there was dark … the light’s winning.”

Obamacare has just begun to do all the damage it is capable of doing, ...monster indeed. We’ve only seen a fraction of its destructive force. The rest of this monster is chained away, waiting for a post election holocaust. We need to kill it before then.
