I'm a little confused by the interviews I've seen with the GOP as of late. I get the feeling that a lot of GOP members believe that some site glitches are tantamount to the entire ACA being a dismal failure.

It's just in keeping with the 0bama admin's running themes of incompetence at everything they touch

Objectively the key economic indicators in the US don't look that bad...so I'm not sure what you mean exactly? Obviously the debt is high, but the deficit and subsequent debt aren't urgently pressing issues at this time. They will be more pressing as we go on but I think jobs are the bigger issue and we're moving in the right direction on that front.

"Some site 'glitches'?" You're a Democrat operative, right. Are you an OFA volunteer too? Because it sounds like you are repeating the administration rhetoric.

These aren't "glitches." And, many experts have said so. It is a collosal failure. Period

It doesn't matter what political party you believe in, the site should have worked. It hasn't and everyone has said it is a colossal failure. It doesn't relate to whether Obamacare works or not, but I think at the very least, it does reflect poorly on the administration when that is the foundation of the program. Ease of signing up is one of the huge arguments for it. If you can't sign up because the website sucks, that is a problem and should have some attention. Many people with all different political beliefs don't agree with Obamacare and feel that it isn't a good idea.

Please. Just wait for it to really get going. It's going to be a colossal FAILURE that's going to plague us all for years to come.

Really? For a site like this, it should have been tested enough to know if it works. But, the problem isn't just the website, it is the enrolling by phone and chatting with representatives. It takes hours and hours. How does anyone have time to deal with that? It is a total embarrassment. Your explanation is far from acceptable. No one should have to give a site 10 days to finally work the way it should. This isn't Netflix. People are depending on this.
