"There are some people who are not like my grandchildren who can handle everything so easily on the Internet, and these people need a little extra time. ... The example they gave us is a 63-year-old woman came into the store and said, 'I almost got it. Every time I just about got there, it would cut me off.' We have a lot of people just like this through no fault of the Internet, but [because] people are not educated on how to use the Internet," he said."
Excuse me? What has this to do with the millions of millennials who ARE tech and internet savvy who REFUSE to sign up for your Chinese Fire Drill?
It doesn't. It's CYA on the part of Reid and the rest of the DNC to save their jobs while they try to drum up support among the millennials who originally wanted ObamaCare/Affordable Care Act and now that they are finding out just what it will actually cost them, they don't want ANYTHING to do with it.
They would much rather pay the fine coming out of their nonexistent tax refunds than to pay one dime towards the hunk of junque that came out of D.C.
All President Obama and the DNC are doing is to try to get some breathing room so they can try to get some more sign ups. I personally don't doubt that we will find that the "subsidy" amounts will suddenly be increased to reduce the out of pocket expenses for the millennials as an enticement to get them to buy into it. And watch even that be a bait and switch.
Sure they might get a larger subsidy, but for how long?
CYA and moving targets is right... sigh
