So much for the Erickson/Limbaugh/Eglman sky-is-falling-glass-half-empty theory.
The Democrats are completely screwed on this issue....as well they should be!

Agenda item one: Are they really going to cover their asses politically by passing Mary Landrieu’s bill knowing that it’ll increase the damage to ObamaCare? If you support the law, as every Democrat does, the last thing you should want to do in the wake of the website meltdown is further discourage healthy people from signing up on the exchanges. Give ‘em back their old plans and you’re guaranteeing that the risk pools for new ObamaCare-approved policies will be even sicker and older than they already are. And the older and sicker they get, the higher premiums will have to be next year to make up for the losses, which will further discourage healthy people from enrolling. There’s a two-word term to describe that phenomenon. Hint: One of the words is “spiral.”
@Just Ducky this will be music to your ears(eyes?)
ZitatThis program is in grave danger of collapsing if the administration cannot dramatically grow the size of the risk pool and attract healthy people to it.
Believe it or not..I just read that article about 10 minutes ago. I was looking for an article I read yesterday, saying dingy Harry wasnt going to let the senate vote on the Upton bill. I couldnt find that, but I found this.
This thing was headed for collapse without them messing with it. This will probably speed things up. I really do hate to gloat. People are hurting.
