I've just spent the last 10 minutes on Healthcare.gov, browsing the platinum plans for a single person, 49 and under, in two states, Florida and Georgia. The site clearly shows the family size/income levels that could qualify for subsidies:
and it also clearly displays the percent of coverage for each of the 5 levels of coverage:
There were at least a dozen platinum plans for both states, ranging from $250-$350 per month.
The site is functioning smoothly, with no wait times or errors.
Healthcare.gov was a very sick site at start-up, but it is becoming more robust with every passing day. Any reports of its demise are greatly exaggerated....
I have been on the site (or attempted to get on it) almost every single day since it launched. It IS getting better. I can now log on with my Chomebook, where as a couple days ago, I got a blank page after logging in.
So yes, the problems are getting fixed. And that fact scares Republicans.
I, too, just completed the enrollment process. I'm in Illinois and this was the first time I tried, as I was waiting for some of the bugs to be worked out. It worked well, was fast and very easy to navigate. Chrome and Firefox, the two browsers I normally used, were not as good, but when I switched to IE it was much better.
I was at an OFA meeting about the ACA on Monday and there were people who had not been able to enroll, so it seems like progress is being made, thought there is still a lot to be worked out, obviously.
What everyone who is cheering the website problems doesn't realize is that we who have been waiting for insurance for years now will be patient and wait for the problems to be resolved as well. It sucks that the site is so buggy, but it sucks worse to not have insurance. We aren't going anywhere.

You mean waiting for years for someone to pay your way. Thats the only thing that makes sense because you could of bought it years ago.
So, Obama could not make Obamacare work even if he was the most amazing manager in the universe, and he wasn't supposed to know if a major component (the website) has major flaws... But Bush was to blame for Abu Ghraib.
You are comparing a lack of ability to access a website to torture camps?
Has the ACA physically and sexually abused, tortured, raped, sodomized and killed anyone?
Did Bush know what was going down in Abu Ghraib?
Did Cheney?
Rumsfeld?
And at the end of the day, about 2-3 dozen rank and file were brought up on charges.

No, dear. I had insurance many years ago, but it went up $50 to $100 every six months until it cost more than my monthly rent and I simply couldn't afford it any longer. I'm self-employed, so I don't get subsidized insurance like you probably do through your employer. Now I will be able to BUY insurance, just like you do. See the difference?
Actually, the Bush people picked CGI. They put the procurement system in place in 2007 that qualified a group of contractors, who would be invited to bid on future projects, including eventually ACA.
It wasn't a no-bid contract. However, there is some dispute about how many of the contractors that the Bush administration qualified bid on the contract - CGI may have been the only one.
LOLOL!!!! There you have it folks, the failure of the Obama Administration is GEORGE BUSH'S FAULT!
hEY bUU that sound you hear is us laughing.... (at, not with)!

So like I said you could not do it on your own so you needed to wait till other people were made to pay more so you could afford it just like you said above. So its ok for other insurance to go up so you can afford it but not yours. It is simple math http://www.daveramsey.com/show/video...-aca-obamacare
Sorry I am self employed but good try. see also video on post 121
