Things are going well in states that supported the law and prepared for the rollout. States which didn't, didn't go so well. So who was in charge there?

If the website starts working, they'll have no way to fill their airtime.

They'll need to come up with another reason to use the word "debacle."

and our local Wisconsin Public Radio is now getting into the act. It used to be, I thought, just the National Public Radio, but nope, now our local affiliate is bad mouthing the ACA also. D*mn.

Debacle debacle debacle.

When the Repubs shut down the government, NPR still managed to run 45 minutes of other news stories every hour. But it feels like they howl about the ACA website for their entire news day, except for an occasional puff-piece on sneaker art in Latin America...

NPR has turned into a shadow of itself since around that time when they should be even MORE free to pursue impartial truth.

When they're good, they're still very, very good.

But when they're bad, they're indistinguishable from conventional corporate news.

For open enrollment on policies taking effect in January. Expect a deluge of enrollments by last week of November and first 2 weeks of December.

Expect another raft of enrollments right before the mandated March deadline.

When all the individual policies are expiring or being "canceled". Republicans will be looking for the best deal and they will find out that the website works pretty good.
