"Thomas B. Edsall, a pillar of the mainstream media’s liberalism, wonders in the New York Times today whether the federal government can manage something as complex as health care:

Health care as a necessity comes only after food, shelter and income security. The mismanagement of the website HealthCare.gov and the cancellation of millions of policies pushes an underlying question out into the open: is the federal government capable of managing the provision of a fundamental service through an extraordinarily complex system?

Better late than never I suppose. And like Robert Kuttner"...

In this continuing recession, less adults are working now than since the 1970's at lessor wages, adding tens of millions to more expensive helath care plans just sounds like something the country can't afford.

I was hoping for a Salma Hayek thread...

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

And the government will fail.
From the article

Better late than never I suppose. And like Robert Kuttner, he sees the political handwriting on the wall:

The chaos surrounding efforts to activate HealthCare.gov reinforces a key conservative meme: that whatever the test is, government will fail it.

And when ACA collapses what will the Left say? They just didn't market it well enough to Americans.
When people are seeing stagnant wages, less wealth than normal for the middle class, highest unemployment in decades and the government wants to charge you more for healthcare. No wonder nobody is signing up.
