The Health Site's

On October 21, 2013 The New York Times published an editorial under the name The Health Site's Chaotic Debut Written by The Editorial Board.
The editor basically talks about the technical issues that are happening with the ACA application site. the website is freezing and cutting people off in the middle of  their application process. Congressional Republicans are blaming it the president Obama and very eager to use this issue as evidence that health care reform is doomed to failure and ought to be delayed.
The Editorial Board sees and explains that the ACA website problems are not president Obama responsibility. The editor argues that the problem is a responsibility of the administration office "Even so, carrying out the law and making the technology work is the responsibility of the administration — as are the swift repairs required to ensure that millions can actually sign up for the coverage they need".
I personally agree with The editors argument because the public can not blame everything goes wrong with government system on the president. Each governmental office in has its' own responsibility, and the technological issues with the health care are not necessarily the president responsibility, plus the president does not do everything by himself. however the president hired professionals to fix the website issues. and "increased staffing at call centers that will help people enroll by phone at all hours of day and night, counselors (called navigators) in each state who will help people enroll in person, and applications that can be downloaded and mailed in".
Also the president Obama promised to help the people who have already filled out the application and got stuck somewhere in the process, that the government will help them out in the next weeks to find the best way to finish submitting their applications.
After all the president can not solve everything right away but Obama is trying to find alternative ways to help people out until the ACA website is running properly.

What Is There To Negotiate?

On Tuesday October 1, 2013 The New York Times published an opinion under the name The G.O.P. Definition of ‘Negotiation’ written by David Firestone.

His opinion is basically a discussion of how the US government is negotiating over the ACA law.
But in my opinion what is there to negotiate? The last time I checked, the ACA is already LAW. It was already litigated and went to the nation's top court and still remained intact. Since when in history did one party or another insist on sitting down at the negotiation table “AFTER” the bill was passed?.

But the story behind this crisis is long ago when the radical Republicans stated that their goal is to destroy the Obama presidency and the Democrats. That statement, by itself, is breathtaking. Now, I wonder whether their genuine objective is to destroy this Nation as a whole and effectively mount a coup. Of course, not one of them would ever hint at such a thing...it would meet the legal definition of treason. Anyway, look at their actions, not at their words. Their actions increasingly point to the objective of destroying the government. What I see going on looks very much like a conspiracy by the radical Conservatives. I'm beginning to think that there are many subversives in Congress. And another HUGR and most obvious reason, Republicans are desperately trying to delay implementation of the ACA exactly one year because from now is because Oct. 1, 2014 is a month before the midterm election. Which is not enough time for most voters to sign up for new insurance, or to see the positive impact the ACA has on their lives. Though 13 months WILL be effective. This makes the Republicans deathly afraid that the ACA will be a big success, and then what will they run on in 2014? And the Democrats will have a big success story to run against them. After all this shutdown we see here, is the tip of a very disturbing disaster that should cause us all alarm.

However The Democrats will gain political capital from this mess. The rational voices in the Republican camp need to begin reigning in the extremists, before this ugliness spirals even further. The Republicans are surely better than this.
