Serious Question: About The ACA Website Problems... Why Doesn't The Administration...

[WillyT]

Dump it right back in the laps of the Republicans?

Unless what I've been reading is incorrect...

The blue states who have supported and set up their own exchanges are having record sign-ups, with little difficuty...

Even the red state of Kentucky has had good reviews because of that Republican Governor standing in support.

It seems, from this viewer, that the problem comes from the rest of the country, from red states, trying to access the ACA all at the same time because THEIR STATES do not support it.

Yes... the fed site might have anticipated this better... but I'd turn the tables on the red states.

Particularly with the 2014 elections coming up in less than a year.

Anybody ???

1. The reason why, is because the administration really wants it to work for everyone

2. The states had no obligation to set up their own exchanges.

The federal government does have an obligation to set up an exchange for those states. Your argument is basically that the law is bad and shouldn't have been set up like that.

4. Not My Argument At All... (And Thanks For Putting Word In My Mouth)...

California has been kicking butt... why is that ???

[DesMoinesDem]

5. That does seem to be to your argument.

You want to blame the states. But you can't blame the states for not setting up an exchange that they didn't have to set up. The federal government was the only one required by law to set up an exchange and they failed. California just shows how badly the federal government screwed up their exchange.

3. Not quite, Oregon for example hasn't been able to sign up a single person on their website

and they are Blue...
