Health care a hit, shutdown is not

Today's Courier-Journal included this editorial on Mitch McConnell's and Rand Paul's constant bashing of Obamacare:

Early returns are in and it appears people are voting overwhelmingly in favor of the (Affordable Care Act) that will allow them to get decent, affordable health coverage.

And all this began on the first full day of the federal government shutdown, forced by a band of Republican House extremists trying to dismantle the health care law, loudly proclaiming the people don’t want it.

Perhaps they should stop listening to each other and the tea party opponents of the law and listen to the people in their districts who are desperate for health care and willing to pay what they can afford.
