Waiting 'till the last minute
There were long lines both on the website and at enrollment centers to sign-up up for insurance in the days leading up to the end of the ObamaCare open enrollment period. But these lines lacked the enthusiasm of an iPhone release. James Taranto wrote in his WSJ post, Yes, We Can Wait:
The first thing we thought of when we saw the pictures was the photos we’ve recently seen on Twitter of Venezuelans waiting in bread lines. Waiting in line to purchase necessities is a characteristic not of a prosperous free society but of command economies under repressive regimes. Closer to home, one doubts even the Transportation Security Administration would be so tone-deaf as to advertise long airport lines as an indication it’s doing a great job.
