Determine whether or not subsidies are available and the new website design to ensure that consumers are aware they can also apply by phone. The Affordable Care act is not just a website. Its much more. For the vast majority of americans, for 85 of americans who already have Health Insurance through your employer or medicare or medicaid, you dont need to sign up for coverage through a website at all. Republicans wasting no time in attempting to pivot off their disastrous strategy to defund the entire law have been eager to use technical failures as evidence of legislative fiasco. Obama care is indeed a train wreck. A visit to the website is kind of like a trip to the department of Motor Vehicles in your state. Its a failure. You know, the government simply isnt going to be able to get this job done correctly.

Wrote for slate, you stated that while supporting the minimum wage absent other policy changes, you would prefer other policies because they tend to be more progressive, paid for disproportionately through taxes on the wealthy, on upperincome individuals rather than through higher prices that might be passed along to consumers. In a piece on the minimum wage for the New York Times this march, former cea chair christina roamer made a similar point stating it might be the case that, quote, businesses pass along some of the cost of a higher minimum wage to consumers through higher prices. Often the customers paying those prices including some of the diners at mcdonalds or the shoppers at walmart have very low family incomes.
