I mean they are out there telling everyone that next year the rates for health insurance are going to at least double and maybe even triple. If I was running the GOP I would have said something like, the rates are going up by at least 10% which is twice the rate they have been. The Dems would have had to say they would be less and if the rates go up by only 20%, the GOP could say that it was even worse than they thought and that the Dems probably knew and didn't tell people and the GOP will look good. Now If the rates go up by 20%, the Dems can say, see we told you they weren't going to double or triple. The actual rate increase was much lower than anyone thought and they and the ACA will look good. I mean the GOP has been great at lowering expectations for like GW Bush and were smart to do so. Now, even if the rates go up by 50%, they will have made that look like a reasonable increase.
