wow what a difference between TX and CT

Home for Christmas in Connecticut. Every couple hours there's a public service announcement talking about the healthcare exchange. Teaching people what to do along with positive testimonials from people.

In Texas NOTHING. Unless you flip to FOX to listen to 24 hours of how bad ACA is. The most blatant attempt to not help people ever.

Yup. They've been telling people to be ready, helping guide them through the process, for months BEFORE the exchanges even went online. Our exchange works flawlessly. Texas and the other GOP states should be ashamed of themselves.

They've been popping up daily; I first started noticing them a couple of weeks ago. And I can assure you, I'm not wasting my time with any FOX viewing.
