this needs the same 24/7 attention by people to make sure it s not only working well and continues to work well but constantly improving and actually doing things better, giving a better shopping experience for people. you cannot say it s solved in some ways. it s a constant upgrade, constant improvement activity. that s the psychology we need going in in the management side of things. zeke, people have to the white house has to stress the benefits. the bottom line republicans have no alternative they have suggested. they can criticizes this as much as they want. it s a target. change the benefits those people will be getting from health care. over the last week, we ve begun to hear stories, people who went on websites, whether state website or federal website and found good deals. people who didn t have insurance or woefully underinsured or
