Post Editorial by Sebelius: The Affordable Care Act has made the U.S. health-care system stronger

http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/kathleen-sebelius-the-affordable-care-act-has-made-the-us-health-care-system-stronger/2012/07/09/gJQA1BOOZW_story.html

Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of HHS provides an excellent editorial refuting Republican claims that obamacare drives up costs.  She shows the opposite on overall costs, small businesses costs, and impact on Medicare beneficiaries.

5) On another front, I am working with Obama for America in organizing a party to celebrate the supreme court decision on obamacare.  Please contact me if interested in helping to organize.  For those so inclined, prior to the start of the party, we will make calls re obamacare.
