Medicare cuts may put the Obama campaign on life support

Health
care was supposed to be President Obama’s issue in 2012. The 2009
Obamacare law was hailed as his signature legislative achievement, but
it’s never been popular. Its most onerous provisions were timed to kick
in after the election specifically to avoid damaging the re-election
effort. For months, the Obama campaign tried to negate the issue. It
spent a great deal of energy seeking to inoculate itself from
Mitt Romney’s attacks by claiming the Massachusetts health care law passed when
Mr. Romney was governor was “just like Obamacare.”
