I have not heard what the Conservative leaders are saying about Obamacare, but I've heard no less than THREE Conservative talk show hosts - which is a LOT for me (caught them on breaks between ball games this weekend), remark that Obamacare is finished because of the poor roll out, the web site failures, etc.

And I've had my nose into some coding this last week, but that strikes me as the DUMBEST idea! A national health care plan will destroy itself, because the website failed during the first few weeks?

No way.

Conservative talk show hosts, you should hang your heads in shame on this crazy idea.

The British press has published some actual enrolled numbers into Obamacare, but official numbers in total, haven't been officially released yet. Whatever the numbers are, they should easily get the 7 million people that they say they will require, to keep the ACA viable. Out of over 400 million people or so, I'm sure they can enroll 7 million.

I'm not sure the ACA is worth spending a lot more time arguing over. It is the law, and it obviously will be tried for at least the next 15 to 24 months, to see how it goes. We have more pressing issues right now, like Iran's nuclear negotiations (now going on), the war still going on in Afghanistan, and our inability to stop the Fed's from over-spending.

You tried to stop ACA, but it was ill-timed and failed. Time to move on. We have a country to run here.
