are broadcasting how terrible the ACA website is and how if you try to us it you will have problems.

The thing is, Washington residents don't use the national website. Washington state has its own exchange, and the website for it works great. It took me less than two minutes to find a good and inexpensive policy.

The good news about the Washington state exchange is not reported. Since good news for Obama is bad news for the republicans, we won't see it on TV.
