The single most important thing to remember about the troubled ACA rollout

vs. the last (mis-)Administration's blunders: Nobody has (as of yet) died. Bush's negligence contributed to 9/11/01, which saw the deaths of a combined total of 3000 people. Bush's decision to invade/occupy Iraq to rid Saddam Hussein of weapons that we couldn't seem to find before the invasion cost us over 4000 American troops and incalculable Iraqis. Bush's incompetence in responding to Hurricane Katrina resulted in the deaths of numerous American citizens. So, when right-wingers and members of the MSM start talking about the "calamity" of ACA rollout and the Healthcare.gov glitches (to the extent that it is a result of botched programming and not right-wing-led cyber attacks) and spelling out imminent electoral doom for Democrats and President Obama, just sigh, ignore it, and move on with trying to make the ACA work better. That's what President Obama should do, that's what Democrats in Congress should do, and that's what the rest of us should do.
