OBAMACARE PROPONENTS
FACE A GRUELING MONTH OF
‘TRENCH WARFARE’
NYONE WHO WANTS
to be hopeful about the
future of the Affordable Care Act has a long
wait ahead of them. Specifically,
until the end of November, which is
when Jeff Zients, the management
guru tasked with making “Healthcare.gov ver. 2.0” a functioning re-
A
ality, says he’ll deliver the goods. Of
course, at that point, one can only
really say that things have taken an
optimistic turn — even if the website works as intended. Obamacare
enthusiasts still face a shortened
timeline to get an adequate number
of people enrolled.
So, what to do until then? Well,
it looks like this chart, along with
others of similar ilk, is serving as
a hopeful totem in the meantime:
