Having quoted Biden on the ACA, I’ll paraphrase Paul Krugman:
Health reform is here to stay. The glitches of October won’t matter in the long run. They are actually encouraging because they are the result of the sheer volume of traffic, which has been much heavier than expected.
The computer problems can and will be fixed. By March 31, when enrollment for 2014 closes, millions of Americans who were previously uninsured will have coverage under the Affordable Care Act. Obamacare will have become a reality, something people depend on, rather than some fuzzy notion Republicans could demonize. And it will be very hard to take that coverage away.
