There's no denying that ObamaCare has had serious teething troubles. A broken website and multiple missed enrollment targets made for a difficult and messy rollout, leaving a president with some of the lowest approval ratings of his career and his party in serious danger of losing the Senate. But even if Republicans do take control of both houses of Congress in November, undoing the law just got a lot harder.

The important thing for ObamaCare's supporters is that the law has proved resilient to all of the angry shouting labeling it socialism or fascism, negative approval ratings, and Congress' endless repeal attempts. If it can survive, supporters say, it will prove its worth.
