Igor Volsky, ThinkProgress
Volsky writes: "Since the Obama administration announced that the Affordable Care Act has enrolled at least 8 million people in health care coverage and polls have shown that the ranks of the uninsured are in fact shrinking, the GOP's four-year campaign against the health care law appears to be losing steam."
