From Washington Post<\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n

I do wonder why this isn\u2019t more of a campaign issue among the GOP and why not more of this is in the discussion.<\/p>\n

Obamacare dominated the 2010 midterms, driving its Democratic authors to a historic electoral shellacking. But since then, the issue has slipped quietly underground.<\/p>\n
Now it\u2019s back, summoned to the national stage by the confluence of three disparate events: the release of new Congressional Budget Office cost estimates, the approach of Supreme Court hearings on the law\u2019s constitutionality and the issuance of a compulsory contraception mandate\u2026<\/p>\n
Rarely has one law so exemplified the worst of the Leviathan state \u2014 grotesque cost, questionable constitutionality and arbitrary bureaucratic coerciveness. Little wonder the president\u00a0 barely mentioned<\/a> it in his latest\u00a0 State of the Union address<\/a>. He wants to be reelected.
