Well, what’s an extra month among friends, anyway? Just days after Barack Obama appointed his new top economics adviser Jeff Zients to head up the so-called “tech surge” to fix Healthcare.gov, Zients promised that Americans will be able to behold the power of a fully operational ObamaCare by … er … the end of November.
That's odd. I've heard from numerous posters on this site that healthcare.gov works just fine, or that it has some "glitches" and "kinks". If that's true, why is the White House now saying the website won't be fully operational until **DECEMBER**????
So how much MORE is this going to cost us? And what happens if they fail THIS deadline? No one was held accountable yet, so they can create ten more deadlines, no one will be fired if they fail again.

This administration is a three-ring circus, but it doesn't really matter. Their supporters refuse to hold anyone accountable for anything.
In their minds, every imaginable problem is the fault of George Bush or the Tea Party, notwithstanding the fact that NOBODY on the right had ANYTHING to do with the passage of the implementation or its rollout, or the website.
I don't know when our country turned into a land of lobotomized fools, but it's happened. Probably sometime before Obama's election the first time, certainly by 2012.

Websites that are done clumsily or with less than the needed care are not rare. This one was subcontracted out the way ALL government websites are done now. No doubt the people who come in and clean up the programming/bad testing mess common today are hard at work. Yes, politics has become a three ring circus with political terrorists a recent wrinkle, but bad websites are bad websites and I'm sure the rescue squad has made that estamate.
Systems which are huge do not run smoothly ever at first anyway, even if completely tested, which the current software standard is to let the users finish. Don't blame the president, blame microsoft who set the standard with letting the public test their operating system in 'beta versions' to see if they work. Cheaper than employing a lot of software experts for months.
I don't know that Obama is a software expert so all he can do is go by the dates he's given.

And the sub contractors at the hearings yesterday said that at least 2 months of testing was required AFTER the gov't made extensive changes. The Obama Admin said to go with the Oct. 1 date anyway.

The contractor knew the ready date. It's like moving the large stone, once you get momentum going, you dont stop. You can work around problems, but stopping would create all kinds of new problems.
So in 5 weeks (essentially 36 days), this 'czar' -- lol -- is going to fix every problem that wasn't fixed in the previous 160 weeks?
Oh, ok.
