Obama Care vs Republicans

I heard some snippet at NPR this morning that said there are tons of people going to the sites to check them out and not actually trying to do anything. Tourists, basically.

They also said that most people disapprove of the sites in some poll they did, but the people who actually have gone to the sites rate them better than the people who haven't been.

For what it's worth, I checked out the site for Virginia, and was amazed at the number of options available. The prices were more than I'm paying now for my portion of my employer provided plan, but I'd need to dig out some paperwork to see if they are more than what I and my employer are paying combined. I think they are comparable. Also, at our income level and family size, we would be eligible for some discount. Not sure how much.
