And that includes those who are still pissed President Obama didn't get single-payer through. Yep, they align with the Republicans and Tealibans in that regard. If we keep that in mind during this bumpy roll out, we'll be able to keep things in perspective.

Also, less than twenty states have opened their exchanges, and those are going smoothly. Those states that refused to open their own exchanges force their constituents to go to the Federal exchange because their governors and legislatures are Republican. If they had Democratic governors and legislatures, they'd have their own exchanges and have NO problem registering for affordable health care. This is something we also need to keep in mind.

"No that the Affordable Care Act is the law of the land, would you rather go back to the system we had?"

That might bring in most of the "single payer" folks that are skewing the polls.

that the ACA should not be repealed. It was in the same poll that showed that a small majority of Americans weren't happy with the PPACA. Of course, being the corporate lackeys they are, Corporate Media ignored the huge majority that don't want the PPACA repealed and instead hammered on the small majority that "weren't happy" with the PPACA - without further explanation - and that became the nation's narrative. Even on MSNBC.

And a congress that has a Democratic majority by '16 so we can keep this program up and running and make the changes that will improve it.

I shudder to think of the little bit that Obama has been able to accomplish coming undone with Rs in the White House and controlling congress by then.

I suppose I should let this go, but piss off.

I'm one who is pissed that Obama traded drug negotiation and a single payer plan away early in the negotiations. I'm pissed that there wasn't a public option at the end either.

Nonetheless I do see Obamacare as an incremental improvement. I'm pretty sure those you would label Obama haters agree with me that this is an incremental improvement.

I haven't seen Obamacare or the rollout bashed from the left here so until you produce evidence of that, you can go take a running leap at a rolling donut.

You need to chill out and dial it down a bit. There was no need to get personal.

If the shoe doesn't fit, why the outrage to the point of passionate defensiveness?

And I didn't mean DUers "bashing" the roll-out, although there are some here and I'm certain you've seen them and they, themselves, have admitted they're no fans of Obama or ObamaCare.

But I meant Jon Stewart's latest "How will Democrats spin this turd" and "When did POTUS turn into Gil on the Simpsons" remarks. Last I've looked, he's pretty much on the Left and he was pro-single-payer, no?

So, there's your evidence. But despite that Jon Stewart is proof that my post is correct, far be it for me to tell you to piss off. I wouldn't be so crass.

Ask anyone who avoids buying the latest version of Windows until the first service pack comes out.

set up Healthcare.gov to work properly, allowing the HHS NO time to alpha or beta test before the roll out and guaranteeing that it would have problems so they could run to the mics and cameras to declare that "ObamaCare has failed!".

DUer ehrnst posted the following ( http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=3900533 ):

The phone number for these call centers is 1-800-318-2596. I want to repeat that -- 1-800-318-2596. Wait times have averaged less than one minute so far on the call centers, although I admit that the wait times probably might go up a little bit now that I've read the number out loud on national television. (Laughter.)

This is excellent news ProSense.

K&R!
