Isn't it curious, a day after the election, how there is less coverage on cable news regarding

the ACA? I've been flipping around between CNN and MSNBC and other websites. (I'm not busy today. It's not all I do.)
I think the Tea Bagging trouncing has done a little hosing down of the ACA rhetoric. I haven't even bothered with False News. I know what trash they will spew.
CNN has been rather anti Obamacare lately and I think they realize that the percentage of viewers has as much to do with ratings as the percentage of people who are sick and tired of the GOP and the Tea Baggers. I think this is the beginning of a shift and acceptance of the ACA.

1. Well, the "bad press" about ACA has caused MORE people to become interested in it.

I think even the "AH HA--This is gonna SUCK; let me go plug in my numbers and see how BAAAAAD it is" crowd have gone and done that and said "Shit, I'ma gonna save a bundle!"

It's gotta gall the wingnuts (heh heh):

The uninsured view the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare, more favorably since online marketplaces opened - 44 percent compared with 37 percent in September, according to the Reuters/Ipsos poll. It found that 56 percent oppose the program compared with 63 percent in September.

A higher proportion of the uninsured also said they are interested in buying insurance on the exchanges, with 42 percent in October, saying they were likely to enroll compared with 37 percent in September. The results have a credibility interval, a measure of accuracy, of plus or minus 3.2 percentage points......The results showed that the rise in both the law's popularity and in the uninsured's willingness to buy was much greater in the 14 states that chose to run their own exchanges and whose sites have generally operated more smoothly than HealthCare.gov, which serves the other 36 states.

More than half of respondents in state-run exchanges now favor the law compared with about four in 10 elsewhere.

To the uninsured the faulty website is "a technical barrier that is being repaired and it pales to barriers they've faced in the past," said Sara Collins, vice president at the Commonwealth Fund, a private healthcare research foundation....

2. I watched the Senate Finance Comm on ACA today....

Repub Senators were mostly rude and did nothing to help the law except look stupid. One Senator asked Sabilius to resign.
