Why do so few of the people who've complained about the cancellations blame the insurance companies for giving the policies that were gourmet shitburgers?
How did the rage get so badly misdierected here?

(39,154 posts)Getting angry at corporate greed is like getting angry at a tornado. It is just an inevitable fact of life. They do not seem to understand that the people running those companies made a conscious decision to screw people.

(10,942 posts)Governors and Legislatures in the states where the great majority of the mad people live have not helped at all. But the President and ALL of his staff that was associated with the ACA roll out should have known they would get no help in states where governors and legislatures were suing to eliminate ACA legislation and actively doing anything they could to damage implementation in other ways. The President and his ACA implementers were asleep at the wheel, they let people in the balking states down, many of those people dearly wanted the ACA to roar in.
A lot of the anger are coming from people that hate the President and would hate him regardless of how much good he does. But a lot of the anger is also coming from people that want the President and ACA to succeed and now feel that they were let down by the clumsy roll out of the ACA website and communication about how people could get signed up even if the website wasn't working.

Sorry... somebody had to say it.
It's the root cause of the vast majority of the Obama hatred out there.
They'll blame him for the tornados in the Midwest next.
