".....................Halfway through the open-enrollment period, its past time for a sustained publicity blitz.
Outreach cant end once people leave HealthCare.gov. As more people enter the health-care system, there will be confusion. Some might make more frequent (and expensive) visits to the emergency room rather than get a primary-care doctor. Still others might think they have coverage when they do not, perhaps because they failed to pay their insurers or because a computer bug mangled their applications . And those who have to pay more for insurance or take a cut in benefits not everyone will win in a coverage expansion of this size will be angry.
Through all this, observers should keep calm. The Obama administrations success at tackling many of the tasks ahead wont be clear for months, once the open-enrollment period ends and more numbers start coming in.

Yet, they think they can 'sell' a product no one wants for a price that is too high!
It is quite mind boggling to think that they actually believe they can!
They think they are going to make an appeal to the young healthy people and have them willingly pay higher prices to subsidze others
That is how Sen. Harkin was defending forcing single men to carry insurance for pregnancy!
Lots of wishful thinking in this drivel...
Talking point of the week apparently...it’s all the Republican’s fault for not going along with the Ponzi scheme.
And just wait till they start issuing orders to the doctors to match client with the care required....and prescriptions....don't forget all those complex prescription orders.
I see not just amputations on the wrong limb....but on the wrong patient.
.....and how it works in the UK under the government run single player scheme:
130,000 elderly patients killed every year by death pathway, claims leading UK doctor

LONDON, June 21, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - An eminent British doctor told a meeting of the Royal Society of Medicine in London that every year 130,000 elderly patients that die while under the care of the National Health Service (NHS) have been effectively euthanized by being put on the controversial Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP), a protocol for care of the terminally ill that he described as a death pathway.
Scaled up to the size of the US population (X6) gives over 750,000 euthanizing events a year.
Sure, keep fund raising the insanity... who needs Bin Laden demanding reparations when we got excuses like this.
Well duh.. no insurance can work if it does not have a pool of investors and a basket of participants... except this time it is the people’s health maddof ponzy scheme where the freeloader gets to waste the funds and hospitals.
Only a Socialist would think otherwise!
When all of the prescription anti depressants and major tranqs start to run out, elected officials will need to beef up their security details. Want to see someone snap? Tell them them they can’t have their drugs. Those would be otherwise reasonable people. Wait til the subsidized set can’t get their meds.
The Kool-Aid flows deep on the Washington Post editorial page. Obamacare isn't even supposed to "work well". It's supposed to smash the US health care system to smithereens. (If you don't like your tumor, you still have to keep your tumor.)
Yes, people need to remember that not a single republican voted for this force fed s*** sandwich. This is an entirely owned democrat debacle.
People need to be reminded not JUST is [Obamacare] a 100% Democrat creation, But the GOP -mostly the TEA party- TRIED TO WARN TH?EM about what a disaster it was going to be.
In WA state 60,000 of the 170,000 enrollees qualified for standard Medicaid, 70,000 for the expansion. That 60,000 is going to put huge pressures on the state system.
