The right wing folks can natter and complain about the ACA all they want but it is law and is not going away. However, that fact doesn't keep them from plotting and scheming in any way they can to keep people from signing up. They have launched a website in California that is basically negative propaganda about the ACA. I suppose they hoped to sidetrack as many people as possible. There is, however, a direct link to the real site that can be clicked on to access the real site. I hope people will notice it and not be misled by the fake site.

And here's the fake site put up by the California GOP

You can see the attribution for the site in teeny tiny gray print at the very bottom of the first page but otherwise it looks like a real health care insurance site for Californians, ugh.
Assembly Republican Caucus
It is amazing how desperate the right wing is to undermine anything this administration has accomplished even when it is basically the idea of the conservative think tank, The Heritage Foundation and patterned after the exchange set up in Massachusetts under Gov. Romney. Here's a good joke I couldn't resist. It is from an article by Paul Krugman, his take on why we're where we are with the rollout of the federal exchanges, etc. Pretty good read.
Borscht Belt Republicans
Has anyone else noticed how much the G.O.P. position on Obamacare resembles the classic borscht belt joke about the two ladies at a Catskills resort?
Lady No. 1: "The food here is so terrible, it's inedible!"
Lady No. 2: "And the portions are so small!"
Republican No. 1: "Obamacare is slavery!"
Republican No. 2: "And it's so hard to sign up!"
