SPOILER ALERT: The Early Returns Show Obamacare Not Ruining America As We Know It

So what happened to all those people who were howling last year with predictions about how Obamacare was going to crush the economy, increase unemployment (as businesses couldn't afford to extend coverage to employees, necessitating layoffs), and put us one step closer to godless, latte-sipping socialism? 

Let's take a peak, shall we....

Since January 1, the S&P is up 8% and on pace for 16% annual return. So much for killing the economy. 

Unemployment was 7% in Dec 2013, it's now 6.1%. So much for killing jobs. 

The stock prices of the "Big 5" health insurance providers - WellPoint, CIGNA, Aetna, Humana, and United Healthcare - are, on average, up 19% (!) year to date. Good god this suggests that socialism (which Obamacare isn't, BTW) might actually be good for business! Seriously, the biggest health insurance providers are having banner years in year 1 of Obama's so-called socialist takeover. How in the name of Sarah Palin is that even possible?  

And how about Obamacare actually enabling people without health insurance to get it? Paul Krugman lays it all out quite well right here but the basic gist is that Obamacare is working everywhere except in those States (the really red ones) that refused to allow the expansion of Medicaid.
