I blame Republicans for ACA glitches.

1. This idea of a health care exchange came from the Heritage Foundation in the 1990's.
2. If not for decades of resistance, we'd already have a fully functioal public health system.
3. When you stave government of the resources needed to administer programs well, glitches are what you can expect.
4. Want a reminder for number 3? KATRINA!!

'nuff said.

there wouldn't be ten gazillion uninsured people on ONE fucking website. And THEIR states have the most uninsured people to begin with. AND they didn't even care enough about their own people to expand medicaid.
