Then why are insurance cancellation notices going out by the millions?
Three in my household alone.
My elderly Mom and Stepdad that now has to pay up extra (all thanks to "Obamadeathcare") to keep what they had as well as my lifelong disabled brother yesterday in which I had reinstated after a 45 minute phone call in which that cancellation if he doesn't re-evaluate notice (which hasn't happened in past years) should've never been sent in the mail again thanks to "Obamadeathcare".
What about the states that did the right thing and set up their own exchanges and websites so their uninsured wouldn't have to use the federal website? If you can damn the feds for being incompetent should you not also praise the responsible states who put their citizens before ideology?
Are you serious? It is ideology! Accepting federal funds for three years, and then committing your state to the costs after that is hard to do, especially since states can't print fiat money like the feds do.
I find it humorous that Congressmen in the GOP, and Obama-haters on internet web forums who either attempt to overturn the law or vigerously speak ou against it and claim it's such a failure ... are the the ones, principally, who are whining about the federal website not working properly. Why would the opponents want it to work perfectly so that more people will enroll? Why, because it gives them yet another opportunity to whine and make idiotic remarks. Apparenly, laws and regulations passed by the Congress, over a long period of time, prohibited the federal government from hiring just one or two, or three, just a few contractors to manage the process and design the software. Anti-corrpution regulations resulted in about 55 different contractors, each working on a different section of the website and there being no one lead contractor. If that's true, about the scores of contractors ... it's no wonder there have been glitches. When the extremist, anti-Obama ilk in the GOP asks their questions at hearings I hope they'll examine the direct roll this and/or previous Congresses had in contributing to the glitches. But, at the end of the day all this is is yet another chance for the haters to hate out in the open. If they were truly interested in making the process work perfectly, or better they wouldn't be doing their damnest to screw things up.
Heck, gomexico, why should we even be bothered by our government spending half a billion dollars on something that doesn't work? It really proves the point. If the website was rolled out without proper testing, even after being warned it wouldn't work, how do you think the rest of it's going to be? Heck, the darn bill was passed without being read by a single member of congress. I really like the part where the website source code says there's no reasonable expectation of privacy, but the designers kept it hidden from the public.
As for the glitches, HHS was urged by all the contractors to do an end-to-end testing for months before it was rolled out, but instead they waited until two weeks before roll out and didn't even delay when glitches were found.
This is such an absolute mess that even left-leaning news and talk shows are treating healthcare.gov as a punchline. And these are the people Liberals trust to craft a government-controlled, single payer system. Really?
Never the most analytical, Barry seems unaware that reducing the pool of potential enrollees - kids staying on parents insurance.
Why would a 27-year-old car salesman making $40K a year willingly pay $300 a month for insurance that carries a $5K deductible, when he could just pay the $285 maximum fine for 2014?
The health care costs of the old, poor, and sick will have to be paid by the young and healthy through higher premiums. Barry seems to have assumed that the young and healthy would go for this.
Obamacare guarantees that the poor and the afflicted will be the people most willing to sign on. Look for them to be the most ardent supporters of the ACA as well. After all, who wouldn't want everyone else to pay for his health care?
Glitch LOL, is that what the liberal media tells you?
As someone who has worked on IT projects ...
"Glitch" is a sure-fire giveaway that the person has no idea what the problem is.
