With Washington stalemated and the government's new online medical insurance exchanges trying to work out the kinks, much of the nation is fixed on the fate of Obamacare.

Over the past decade, it has established an extraordinary record of raising quality (with nearly 100% of its patients now rating their experience a 5 out of 5) while controlling the cost of inpatient care (down 25% since 2007).
