Obamacare used to be political poison for Democrats. Now they see it as a winning prescription — even in red states

For years Democrats ran from the healthcare issue as though it were a heap of flaming rubble, which, politically speaking, it was.

But polls show support for the law increasing as it becomes more imperiled, and the result has been a political sea change. CONT.
