What is truly hilarious is that if their goal was to ding Obamacare, the smart strategy would have been simply to sit back and watch the problems as they cropped up, and then hype those to the media, all while pretending to be noble and let the system have its best shot at success. Then they could have closed in early in '14 and tried to hammer it based on what it looks like then. Instead, they've largely wasted the opportunity. Its not clear to me which way it will go. If people embrace it in large numbers, than it will be successful, so the Reps should be wise and not pee upwind. If by Jan '14, it is clear the system has major problems because large numbers of young/healthy are not signing up, and instead the system is bogged down mostly with the pre-existing crowd, then there will be change. But no, the teabaggers have to proactively reject it without seeing how it is working. Typical of those who cling to ideology, and ignore data.
