Obamacare critics' cynicism shown through on the law's first day | Alec MacGillis @ The New Republic
That’s all well and good—if you really believe that the expansion of affordable, well-regulated health insurance is a threat to the republic, then it’s in your interest to hinder its implementation, even if that means coming awfully close to sabotaging the duly legislated law of the land. But if your attempts at undermining the law show some signs of having succeeded when the law makes its debut—if, as we’ve seen today, there are all manner of initial technical glitches in the system rigged up by undermanned bureaucrats working against a constant stream of your resistance—then it’s a bit much to declare that these are proof of the law’s fundamental unworkability.
