#3 The Republicans are showing spine instead of folding like wet cardboard? I confess I didn't see that coming.

#5 Shut the damn thing DOWN and fix it! If you can't survive a few weeks or months without gov't assistance, you're part of the fok'ing problem! There, I said it.

#6 Delaying it a year is already happening for big chunks of ACA - 1) they aren't ready to operate, and 2) are giving waivers to lots of players. They should be delighted with this deal - gives them a chance to blame Republicans for the delay and get it working 'better' - but that's not the goal; they want it to fail in a way they can blame on the Stupid Party (shouldn't be difficult) so they can 'fix' it with single payer national health service.

Bingo!

Bingo again. Shut it down. Let it burn.

#9 I watched a local news report about the Creepy Uncle Sam commercials. Thought this topic was finally getting some consideration. Ends up attempting to be a hit piece using actual investigative reporting, or at least copying somebody else's work. "How many former Koch members are on the board?" "How much of your funding comes from Koch industries?" Brought out their IRS filing papers and everything. Same network which thinks its pretty neat to have Koch Arena in Wichita.

Also teh stuhpid is that about a week ago the news started this How Obamacare Helps You and How To Sign Up campaign. This has been, what, four years in the making and its being broadcast now?

No media narrative here, nope nope nope.
