Jared Meyer writes at e21 that he:
… woke up this morning expecting to find the White House celebrating Healthcare.gov’s first birthday. When I saw no mention on the website, I checked California Representative Nancy Pelosi’s website and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s—again, no mentions. Where is the fanfare? Where are the photo ops?
Well, the explanation may lie in the fact that the Kaiser Health Foundation found that:
… just 35% of voters support the Affordable Care Act.
Given that, as Meyer writes:
Despite the Affordable Care Act, 31 million people will remain without insurance in 2016, according to the Congressional Budget Office, and this number is expected to remain steady until 2024 (the last year of CBO projections).
And:
With more unpopular and destructive aspects of the law beginning next year, it is unlikely that Healthcare.gov’s second birthday will be any happier.
