3. I think they will be robust

The people with the real problems are:

- Working poor in non-Medicaid states. The media doesn't give a shit about them.

- Those that already had policies that are doubling or tripling on the exchanges. There is a lot of noise here, but that will settle down with Obama's fix, and it isn't a huge number of people anyway.

As we get near the December 15 deadline for policies to be in effect January 1, there will be a real acceleration of enrollments. I bet there will be about a million people with enrollments either complete or in process by the end of November.

There are some serious problems with the ACA, and they really have nothing to do with the state of healthcare.gov. I wish the media would invest the effort to really learn about this so that they could have an intelligent discussion.
