Though their political affiliations diverge, commentators Paul Begala and Tucker Carlson agree on one important thing: the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is imperfect, at best.
"I have a thinly-veiled contempt for the people that rolled [Healthcare.gov] out [last fall]. First impressions really matter. And if you can't get the computer to work, for a computer-based program, that matters," said Begala, a political analyst, CNN commentator and former adviser to President Bill Clinton. "It was really embarrassing."
During a lively debate Wednesday at the Benefits Selling Expo, the talking heads sparred over the problems plaguing PPACA and the law's importance to political parties in the future.
