You have to ask what is wrong with us?

Dear reporters: You really should be emphasizing just how f**king incompetent it is that we are nearing the end of November, with ACA open enrollment having started on the first of the month, and the government is still f**king around with no plan.
The White House is circulating a proposal that would extend subsidies to help consumers pay for coverage under the Affordable Care Act for two more years, as millions of Americans face spiking health care costs when the current tax credits are set to expire at the end of the year.
