Wrong Focus. Rollout was fairly predictable, but that is still the smokescreen.
The real part, is Cost. Iff the rollout had been perfect, the COST would have made it worse. Thats why they disabled the Browse feature.
Secondarily,
The Republicans knew in advance that there would be massive drops. As did the WH. They had 3 years to figure it out, and to get told by Ins.Co. Lobbyists.
This was so patently obvious as to be comical, in light of Obama’s MSM Hagiography.
Yeah, but the website troubles means there are no “success stories” to draw the media’s attention. So, it’s all bad news right now.
It is also becoming apparent how this is a scheme to make some people pay more, for stuff they don’t need, in order to cover others.
In other words, it’s income redistribution. It’s a tax collected by insurance companies rather than the gov’t.
This was in today’s paper:

In 2008, candidate Obama bit off more than he could chew. He promised everyone access to cheaper and better health insurance, and to let those satisfied keep their existing plans. If paid from the U.S. Treasury, new benefits would have cost at least $1 trillion.
New taxes alone couldn’t carry that load. Many businesses, already burdened by the highest corporate tax rates in the world, are moving assets and jobs offshore. Higher taxes and new entitlements have already given the country more adults on means-tested government benefits aka welfare than working. Predictably, economic growth, which provides the tax base, is evaporating.
The solution left to the president and his pals in Congress was to deceive the folks he promised to help. Make them pay more, a lot more, but do it through the marketplace.
