Brainwrap's Revised Prediction

++Paul Krugman said that Charles Gaba aka Brainwrap did data better than Nate Silver. Brainwrap takes that as a compliment and not an afterthought by Krugman in his new war with Silver.

++Since Gaba has been inundated with media requests,e-mails and new data, he has revised his final prediction for 3/31 to be--drumroll--6.5 million with a chance that by April 15th with all the backlog that Obamacare will reach its original CBO prediction of 7 million enrolled.

++An interesting sidebar to this is whether the Federal Court will rule against subsidies for those policies bought on the federal exchange. I think this would be a nightmare. But with 7 million, 3.1 million adult children, and over 5 million Medicaid added,isn't this a nightmare for the GOP. Over 15 million Americans newly insured that they want to strip of their policies?
