"Like many Americans, my experience was pretty frustrating," he wrote of his experience at first, a reference to the dysfunction that has plagued the exchange websites since their launch.

If he tried to do this himself - he might have spilled a drink on his keyboard. He couldn't take the chance at doing that.
Really now - do you really believe that he did this enrolling by himself?

(8,084 posts)The repugs are spending Millions trying to convience Americans not to sign up, it's horrible it's terrible
and yet John Boehner is making sure his ass has insurance. He had until March
but he did now. He could have held out until January, Feb.
But he signed now.
But, watch him come on the news for the next 3 months screaming the ACA MUST BE STOPPED, and it's bad for America
but Good for him
