ACA Signups has received quite a bit of attention from various media sources of late...
NOTE: I stopped upating media references to this site on March 26th, 2014; the final entry was Paul Krugman's piece praising my work here. In addition to the difficulty of keeping track of every reference/link in the news media, I figured that there was really nowhere else to go after a shout-out from a Nobel Laureate in Economics who's also a professor at Princeton and a regular columnist at the New York Times.

(a direct hit piece on me...wow, I appear to truly have hit the big time now!...their major beef seems to be that a) I'm a politically active Democrat (which I've never tried to hide) and b) the tired "but how many have paid?" attack, which, as I've explained repeatedly, may be a legit issue in mid-May, but is pointless to even discuss until that time) - 03/20/14: AllVoices: In final Obamacare push, Obama using March Madness to reach youth
