Tom Coburn Concedes: Obamacare Exchanges 'Will Work And Work Well'

Coburn Concedes Exchanges Will 'Work Well'
Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK), one of the most ardent opponents of Obamacare, admitted that the law's health insurance exchanges "will work and work well," Huffington Post reports.

Said Coburn: "I'm not worried about the exchanges. They'll get that fixed."

He said the early failures of HealthCare.gov were due to an "incompetency of management" but "will eventually work and work well."

Dr Tom is not to be trusted in any way shape or form. He's all for the 1% with himself in the lead.
But we'll take any favorable comments even from him

perhaps even accept the Medicaid expansion?

I know many people who will probably die waiting for Oklahoma to get on board with this. Not that anyone in the controlling party in this state gives a rat's patoot.

I'm not sure anything or anyone can or would change her made up mind.
She doesn't care about us one wit. All she cares about is mary fallin and mary fallin alone.
She's not one of the 1%'rs but she thinks like she is. Those kind can't be reasoned with
I shutter to think we've got 4 more years of her ugly ass to put up with. You've always heard that beauty sometimes can be only skin deep, well her kind of ugly is bone deep

plus the late decision to make you register to browse options so you'd see the costs after any subsidies.

That the site is largely fixed within a couple months of rollout speaks to normal glitches in large SI projects.

And the rough rollout will be long forgotten by election time.
