In an editorial titled, "The Affordable Care Act's free market economics," the Washington Post has attempted to defend President Obama's health care law from Republican attacks that the law will make it difficult for some Americans to keep their doctors. But in the process of doing so, the editorial board failed to draw an important distinction between economics and free market economics. (AP Photo)

If 2013 has been unkind to Obamacare, 2014 might be downright brutal: The troubled website is still a mess; the administration has been forced to suspend its centerpiece, the individual mandate, for folks facing cancelled policies; and the employer mandate has been delayed.

President Barack Obama pauses as he speaks about the new health care law, Tuesday, Dec. 3, 2013, in the South Court Auditorium in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on the White House complex in Washington. The president said his signature health care law "is working and will work into the future." Obama said the benefits of the law have "gotten lost" in recent months as attention focused on the widespread problems that crippled the website where people can sign up for health insurance. On stage with the president are Americans the White House says have gained as a result of the Affordable Care Act. (AP Photo/ Evan Vucci)
