Right. Suppose the Obamacare web site had been really good. You go there, and it checks your IP address with your ISP, identifies your account, and greets you with "Hello. It looks like you're Mr Smith of 1234 Scott St, Raleigh, North Carolina. Is that correct?" The user answers yes, and gets back "You're qualified to sign up for Obamacare. We've checked your tax records, and your income qualifies you to get extra assistance. You don't have any other medical coverage right now. If you sign up, your premium of $42.00 a month will be deducted from your paycheck from Walmart Inc, along with your taxes. Do you want to sign up for medical coverage?

Yes, thanks for signing up. You now have medical coverage. Here's your certificate of coverage. Print this page and you're done.

From most, not a one I agree.

But from the 24x7 headline-starved troglodytes looking to whip the populace into a frenzy? Loud and heard from every corner. And what would those which slavishly follow their pundits-of-choice do? Would they remember the ease with which they received health coverage or would they incorporate whatever mantra was beaten into them?

Or am I being too cynical here?
