Politico apparently just noticed the efforts by Republican governors and legislatures to refuse to set up exchanges, to refuse Medicaid expansion, and to block efforts by navigators to inform people about the new law. The Politico story is pretty thorough, as it includes the House Republicans refusal to allow any new funds to the law after it was clear the federal exchange would have to cover dozens of state (where Republican-led state governments refused to do their job). It covers the legal challenges and the efforts by conservative groups and pundits to convince people to boycott getting health insurance. It includes Rep. Darrell Issas ongoing witch hunts to try to gum up the works and his harassment of totally unrelated private companies, sending letters last week to Google, Microsoft, Verizon, Oracle and Expedia, demanding to know if they were among the Silicon Valley experts enlisted by the Obama administration to help fix the sputtering health care website. Good you finally noticed, Politico. Hopefully more media outlets will notice this and report it. The message being, Of course government doesnt work when you intentionally gum up the works.
