Over 5 million lines of code need to be corrected!!! What the heck have they been doing over the last 3 years??
Unless you have some kind of background as a Presidential Historian, there is no way you can make the claim that Obama is the worst President ever. That's kind of like me saying that Blue is the worst color ever. It may be my opinion but it certainly isn't fact nor is it even an intelligent assertion based on reason.
By the way, when did Presidents start writing code? How is it Obama's fault that the programmers couldn't do their jobs? I doubt he can even read a single line of code.
Informed -- They've got *months* before they have to enroll. And, thanks to the shutdown, the IRS expects a 2-week delay in processing returns...so they've got *months* and 2 weeks.
You're making a big fuss that something you didn't like in the first place isn't working as smoothly as you expected. This is a bit like complaining that 'the food is terrible and the portions are so small'.
But forcing people to purchase health care insurance from a third party, as a function of citizenship, is not a legitimate way to fund a government program, it's a great way to force all of us to make insurance corporations rich though.
I've given up trying to understand the liberal left in this country.
First you praise the passing of the ACA because finally, the uninsured will have access to affordable health insurance.
The you create a federal mandate to punish the uninsured for not having insurance.
The left always tells us how they are against the profit taking by greedy corporations, then you applaud a law the forces every American to pay thousands of dollars a year to insurance corporations.
These are great arguments for single payer health care!
Actually the web site was not written by the government, or Obama, but private software companies which were contracted to do it.
Yeah they were contracted by Canada to build a gun owner database and screwed that up so bad the canucks fired em. Dear leader to the rescue. lol........what a cluster.

We'll see how that works out. Even experts are saying the Obamacare website will take months to fix, if its even fixable at all.
The Dems let us all down when they did not hold out for a public option.
They will get us there eventually. They just need to make health care insurance too expensive for us to buy, too unprofitable for the insurance companies to stay in business, and under pay the hospitals and health care providers so they complain and threaten to opt out of the system.
In other words, once government incompetence destroys the health care system, government will ride to the rescue with single payer health care, for the very system they ruined.
I point out that Medicare Part D rollout was *also* plagued with problems -- and all the Righties can find to say is that it's different because there wasn't a mandate...which is a complete non sequitur.
You don't like the program, you claim you won't use it but you're terribly upset that the website (and only the website) isn't working. Why do you care?
Oh, I know...tax dollars. Apparently there is considerable pain to the Right when tax dollars are spent...but not when they are wasted on a GOP-led gov't shutdown or on useless weaponry.
You've been told prior that the roll out was delayed, because they know it was screwed up.....not rolled out and then fixed...

This is what I don't understand. Who the hell in their right mind wouldn't have tested the system out before taking it "live"? Like, for as long as it took to work the bugs out? Fail on the PMs part? The programmers? The system analysts?
When is Verizon supposed to "take over"?
5 MILLION lines of code is a lot of code to go through, and I would bet it's more & even worse than is being reported.
Just heard on the news that the website is down again. But the 800# is up and running!
Seems as though, since this was an apparent "shovel (s**t) ready" job, Obama could have at least kept it in the US.
