They just DoS'ed the entire Federal government and put the full faith and credit of the government in doubt by risking default.
It's not exactly a stretch of imagination that the same kinds of people or organizations might also have the motivation, means and willingness to try it against one particular website: the website associated with the very same law, the ACA, which was their ostensible reason for DoS-ing the US government itself.
And note for those who can't make distinctions. There's a difference between whether parties were attempting to DoS the website, versus whether it was successful. Also it's entirely possible and reasonable that a DoS attack could result in being a partial contributor, though obviously not the sole cause of its woes. Distinctions. Shades of gray. Life. It's subtle that way.
