The argument that the Bill Clintons & co. are making is that it is like Medicare and Social Security. Took them a long time to get it up and running and now it's just normal. Same thing will happen with OblablaCare, etc. However, it will never function like Medicare and Social Security. The basic foundation can't be built. The reason SS and Medicare work is that there were millions who had money taken from their paychecks to fund those programs. This time it's "voluntary" and the young-uns just won't sign up - hence no foundation. Their "fines" (tax increase) won't be enough to meet the demands of universal healthcare for all. A TARP-like bailout won't fix the basic problem, because it won't work in the first place. The web site is about 5% of the problem and a red herring.
