>I don't think he cares enough about it's implementation. It was enough just to get it passed. How does passing something and then having it fail help his legacy? That'd be worse for his legacy than if it hadn't passed in the first place... at least in that case he could've said the Republicans blocked it... which is pretty much what Truman, Nixon, and Clinton were able to say. >Pelosi said it best, "We have to pass it so that you can see what's in it." Please stop quoting her without the rest of the context. It's incredibly intellectually dishonest. She was talking about how there wasn't even a bill because the House and the Senate hadn't agreed on what they were discussing yet. There were a ton of unfounded rumors going around at the time. >Now that we've seen what's in it, can we go back and start over? Of course not. That was the whole point. No, it really wasn't. >If there are launch problems, no big deal. They'll eventually get fixed. Broken promises? Oh, you misunderstood what Obama actually meant. Unexpected costs? Think about those who can't afford insurance like you can. Yes. I'm thinking about the millions of people who are now going to have insurance in 2014 that otherwise wouldn't have had it. >All of this stuff doesn't seem to concern Obama, or he'd be neck-deep in fixing all of its problems or addressing most of the concerns that people have regarding its implementation. Instead, all we get is disingenuous expressions of concern. If you'd paid any attention at all, you'd see that he is. They're expecting to have the website (and keep in mind, it's just the website) fixed up by the end of November. -Z
