BOSTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is citing the Massachusetts health care system's slow start to keep expectations low for early sign-ups for his own overhaul. And he's pointing to the bipartisan effort to get the program launched in Massachusetts to encourage his opponents to stop rooting for his law's failure.
The president planned to speak about the embattled law Wednesday from Boston's historic Faneuil Hall, where Massachusetts Republican Gov. Mitt Romney was joined by the late Democratic Sen. Ted Kennedy to sign the state's 2006 health care overhaul bill.
There's been no such bipartisanship surrounding Obama's effort, particularly this month as the marketplace to allow individuals to buy health insurance went online with myriad technical problems. Republicans say the dysfunction is more reason to repeal the law, and they're pressing Obama administration officials for an explanation.

FACT CHECK: Sebelius misstates law on signup start
CALVIN WOODWARD, Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Misstating the health care law she is responsible for administering, Kathleen Sebelius has asserted that the law required health insurance sign-ups to start Oct. 1, whether the system was ready or not. In fact, the decision when to launch the sign-up website was hers.
Did Obama know it was gonna blow up?
Why didn’t Sebelius consult with him and advise , “Sir, this thing is not ready and never adequately tested.”
The reply .. like ObamaCare’d
Mission Accomplished!
flashed in OPbama’s eyes.
“whatever”
Obamacare doesn’t need bipartisanship, it is The Law of The Land.
It’s supposed to work on its own.
Epic Fail.
one of the Dems from Vermont on the panel said he heard a different tone today at the hearing, like resignation has set in to a long grind to make it work.. sad..
The Pubs should have been breathing fire, instead.. well I watched some,, there were some good pieces that made her squirm a bit, but overall,, ya get what ya pay for.
Now how do we defeat single payer?
Give the House a big TEA enema and castrate the RINOs in the Senate?
Just off the top of my head :-)
Make 2010 look like a ice cream social

Is the Obamacare debacle so bad that people who thought Obamacare was a good idea (public/private partnership) that they don’t want to give the feds even more power (public health only)?
