GOP Senator Lamar Alexander was just on CNN complaining about Tennesseans not being

able to access the ACA website after trying to prevent people with pre-existing conditions and the poor from getting health care in the first place. He wants a daily accounting of numbers of people signing up every day. All of a sudden the GOP cares? The hypocrisy gives me a headache.
