I keep sounding the warning, and all that I've predicted is coming to pass. Wake Up Democrats.

38. Your post is pretty much accurate from my POV....

I am not that upset about the web site fiasco. I'm a CNE and I have seen plenty of web site fiascoes. The main thing I am disturbed about is the apparent untruth about people getting to keep their insurance and doctors. Yes, one can call the plans wanting to be retained junk as some here say, but this "junk" is what the people were happy with and allowed them to keep continue seeing their own doctor--extremely important. From the people I talk to, this is what they are most disturbed about. Did the Republicans exaggerate this problem way out of proportion? Sure. But it is still a problem. Throughout history, the most difficult situations to overcome by a president is a perceived lie to the people. As far as moving to single payer now...no, perhaps next Democratic administration if such administration follows this one. With the current situation, the CBS outlier poll notwithstanding, there are a lot of avenues for problems coming up next year: TPP, Immigration, Entitlements. What I am worried about now is how the implementation of ACA however perceived will affect the budget negotiations in December. Will the administration offer some kind of ameliorative deal to diminish the problems it had with ACA? I have a suspicion this Christmas may not be a very merry one. I hope Bernie Sanders can do some good on the budget; if he does, it makes him even more viable for a 2016 presidential candidate.
