I have checked the website every day. Its still not working right. At some point Obama is going to have to have to do something like bring someone else in to fix it or push everything back at least a month. Washington State has about 52,000 enrolled or pending December enrollment. The Feds cant even give a number.

I'll tell you what, give $400 million to the people and they would have it done even if they had to delegate it and hire people within the country. People do realize that we are also paying navigators to answer questions but their answer is typically to try again later.

I would assume that for the amount of time that there are massive glitches where people literally can't get on, they would extend by that same amount of time. Although, sounds like not everyone is having problems.

Well that's republicans wanted the extension for. They knew you can't do it this way. They would be able to work the issues as they were found. People would be weaned into the government system. Instead, people are being notified their insurance policies are being terminated and they are in a rush, they also have to know what they will have to pay.

These are deep seated problems, not glitches. They had 2 years to prepare and it's pure incompetence. Government run = epic fail. Obamacare shoots itself in the foot.

If you are paying the full price for insurance you can go through Ehealthinsurance and skip the exchanges. That was something I wasn't aware of. For 2014 Ehealthinsurance has all the ACA compliant policies up. Web brokers on standby, waiting to sell Obamacare plans - Jason Millman - POLITICO.com

It was actually the other way round, the government hired a private company to do it.

I am here to educate

The thread isn't about Medicare, but since you brought it up...

If that was such a huge disaster, and we also know that Medicare in general isn't sustainable as it is currently setup, WHY are you so gung-ho about Obamacare? The government has PROVEN that it can't manage health care, and YOU have provided some of the evidence!

Why are you cheerleading this?!?!???!!! Is it just a matter of partisan politics? I sure hope not! What is it about this law that has you jumping so high to defend it?
