you may remember the famously feisty MA congressman B Frank

One thing that really annoys me about social media, and i think i am the only one, is how people constantly use words like 'stunning' to describe an image
if it was that stunning you wouldnt need to tell people, although you can interpret stunning as short hand for 'I find this amazing'

In 1983 Reagan voters were 48/44 opposed to MLK day and Reagan himself still thought MLK might have been a Communist. We know this because he said it to his friend Meldrim Thompson, a former NH governor who sat on the board of the John Birch Society in 1983.

This would absolutely explain why NEW enrollment is only down slightly year over year so far.
I don't know if this could be a possible fourth reason but people only need to use the ACA when they are working a job that doesn't offer health insurance or don't have work. If more people are getting laid off then they will need to use the ACA to find health coverage.
