Ed Henry:
People are still getting the same error messages they got three weeks ago.
Jay Carney:
Not so. I think you’re confusing error messages with the queueing message, which is quite a different thing entirely.
So one is telling you the system is too busy to handle your request and the other one is telling you the system is too busy to handle your request. Got it!
What truth? I think the title of this article sums it up pretty accurately: The Election Is Tomorrow, and Americans Still Don’t Understand Obamacare.
Love has been extremely outspoken in her opposition to Obamacare and her desire to see it repealed, even though she hasn’t proposed any reasonable alternative plans. (When asked about her own health care proposals during the event, Love offered up measures that had already been passed as part of Obamacare.)
That’s not all that surprising. I think most people regardless of party would admit there are some reasonable if not good things in the bill. But anyone who says they’ve read the entire thousands of pages and agrees with every point is either a toe-the-party-line push-over who doesn’t understand economics or lying.
I’m in the camp that wants it repealed. Not because I think it’s all bad… but because I think the bad parts are really, really, really bad.

But I keep running across comments from medical professionals that seem to suggest that Nancy Pelosi is naive:
Both a 2010 American Medical Association (AMA) survey and the 2011 National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey found that about 17 percent of physicians were already restricting the number of Medicare patients they treat even before ObamaCare.
…
A recent survey from the Doctors Patients Medical Association found that 74 percent of doctors say that they will stop accepting Medicare patients due to the restrictions of ObamaCare. It is not clear that restricting Medicare choices by cutting doctor and hospital reimbursements for procedures that are deemed unnecessary by the new Medicare board will save money if it leads to doctors dropping out and patients becoming sicker if they end up with less access to timely care.

So, who do you believe?
