Congress passes the laws, his job is to implement them. If he needs a change he should be going back to congress for the change.

Exactly. I don't understand why Boehner and the other Republicans who get TV time aren't constantly pointing this out.
I've also read that Obama will not enforce the regulations around the subsidies for the first year. You can literally lie and say you have no income in order to get the maximum subsidy. There will be no enforcement or penalty or clawback if you don't declare your income.

Laughable that anyone thinks anybody will be held accountable in Washington.

The shutdown will be similar to the sequester. Supposedly the "non-essential" federal employees still have to show up to work and will get paid at a later date. I doubt you'll see much change in Bigkotex's productivity.
My bet is the benefit of OCare will be very small and the cost very large. There are people who think with Obama in office that they don't have to "worry about paying for my rent and gas and healthcare" but will find they've backed the wrong horse again.
