I wouldn't have mentioned it if I didn't. Doesn't change the fact that it appeared to me that Clinton was using the occasion of the issues with Obamacare to start to distance Hillary from it.

...and you usually do type too slow for me. But thanks.

There is little doubt in my mind that Bill is softening the beach for Hillary to launch her campaign. They've probably concocted some plan to "out do" Obamacare. One thing is for sure, more interesting times lie yet ahead.

So 100 mil interest on the shutdown, and... drum roll....

600 million spent trying to fix healthcare.gov according to NPR on the way home yesterday. The same bit also mentioned that according to Obama's own research the '50% of young folks getting ins for $50 a month' he's been spouting all over lately is... can you guess?... baloney.

How do you know the assertion that it's baloney isn't baloney?

Credible source?

Meaningless. We still don't have info on how may have actually paid for the product. The way HHS is counting enrollments, its the rough equivalent of counting window shoppers.

Nobody who has signed up for the ACA have paid anything yet.
This is the enrollment phase.

Yeh, right. Meaningless...

"Health policy experts said the momentum from state exchanges is encouraging.
California, which has had about 80,000 sign-ups, is now reporting about 2,000 enrollments per day. New York and Washington state reported enrollment numbers in the tens of thousands as of this week.
A total of 27,000 enrollments were reported in October for the federal marketplace in which 36 states are relying on HealthCare.gov; the number has not been updated in November.
“It’s not all doom and gloom,” Kaiser Family Foundation President Drew Altman said. “What this says is that the problems are system problems, not problems with demand or interest.” WaPo

Sounds like the campaign against the ACA is failing.
