- It was Obama's responsibility to know which states would create their own exchanges and which ones would decline. That should have been clear from day one.
- The web site was already over budget, so claiming that the Republicans withheld funds to fix it is stupid. Besides, Democrats always blame their own failures on a lack of funds, despite already spending more than what they originally promised.
- It's not the states' responsibility to "educate" people about the new law. That was Obama's job, or more specifically, Kathleen Sebelius. Heck, even in California, no one knew about "Covered California" until just recently.
- Rush's suggestion on how to avoid paying the ObamaCare penalty doesn't mean a damn thing. It's stupid to try and underwithhold your income taxes just to avoid a refund. Besides, the penalty hasn't even kicked in yet, so it's a moot point right now.
In general, the opposition to ObamaCare should have been anticipated, because there is so much that the whole program tries to control. Republicans of course had no intention of making it work, but Democrats had no intention of involving the Republicans in the first place. That's why the moment they got the supermajority in Congress, they immediately went after health care, because the only way they would ever push their agenda would be unipartisan.
Now they complain that the Republicans were never on board with making ObamaCare work? Duh, that's why they rammed it through in the first place.
