They've already won this battle. Opening their mouths now would only give the GOP fodder. The shutter-up they stay, the faster the crapfest ends. The facts will begin appearing in the form of enrollment guidelines and info from the insurance website and state offices (for those states that didn't refuse to have state offices). The people who are frightened by the misinformation ain't listening to the Senate. They have to learn it's a worthwhile program by making use of it.

Better federal funding for outreach in states that are actively trying to wreck the ACA through under-enrollment is probably the only useful thing the Senate could do. Sadly, this is not the ideal week to propose an increase in the Obamacare implementation budget. The Gops won that one.

Jedi Mind Tricks don't work on Jews.

Remember the (obviously and stereotypically) Jewish junk shop owner on Tatooine?

Ted Cruz should have known this.

I think Republicans want the regional governors to have direct control. Fear will keep the local systems in line...

I like his impression of Nien Nunb better but he needs to tone down the evil stuff.
