governor deval patrick has been very involved and very supportive as well. while the white house seems to have focused elsewhere on many other important issues and 2011, 2012, they were involved in the passing and implementation of health care. host: rich is joining us on the republican line from florida. caller: i went to the website yesterday and had no problem signing up for health insurance. what people do not realize is the fact that when they see the $6,000 co-pay -- i am relatively healthy. doctors appointments and basic checkups are just a co-pay. it is nice to know that if i did have to go to the hospital, my maximum amount of payment would be $6,000. i took a company buyout from my employer. the insurance they were offering was too expensive for me. if you look at the options and give it time, a lot of the problems are people making errors on their end. i called the website navigator and she helped me through it. there is a lot of misinformation out there. it is a great deal and it is very affordable for me. host: rich, thanks for the call. from vi

. >> current massachusetts governor deval patrick was also on "meet the press." here's his take. >> it does a lot of good for a lot of people. that's already begun. it will continue. the website isn't perfect. that'll get fixed. i'm confident of that. the website at home in massachusetts when we first started implementing in 2007 was also imperfect. it got fixed. and governor romney was right then when he said that if massachusetts succeeds in implementing health care reform there, it will be a model for the country and it has been. >> the former governor also implied the technical problems with obama's care launch might have been avoided if the white house had learned from his example. >> in massachusetts, we phased in the requirements so there was a slow rollout so you could test the systems as you went along. >> if there is one person who can tell you about the similarities between romney care and obama care and the way the affordable care act may work, it is m.i.t. economist jonathan gruber, the architect of the massachusetts health care problem and a key adv
