Since July I've been dealing with an incident tracking system (Remedy) rollout at the Fortune 500 company where I work (you've heard of it), converting the program to web interface. Plagued with problems. It was tested for many months, but there was, and I will repeat here for those like yourself who have so much trouble comprehending what you're criticizing - No. Way. To. Beta. Test. The. Rollout.

You can't beta test a rollout to 10,000 employees where I work. And you can't beta test a rollout to tens of millions of Americans. The real world, as opposed to the world you imagine, does not work that way.
Prove it.

You should be jumping with glee that it isn't working. Instead you're complaining. I don't get it.
Essentially, the takeaway here is that if you build websites, and want a government contract, go out and get 11 other guys, and set them up with some computers in your garage --

Trust me - Nothing smacks of screaming success more than running your web development business out of your garage

You forgot the cool blog step. Essential for any multi-million dollar Obama contract.

It would be funny, but it's hard to laugh when millions face fines and problems because our government forces a mandate and then puts some guys with a cool blog in charge of the website for that mandate.

That's right, thanks for reminding me

And don't forget to go out and get one of those free stylish wordpress blogs while you're at it - It's free and takes about 5 minutes to set up

You'll be rolling in the dough in no time ... guaranteed

It's only a 2.5% tax increase across the board (if you don't buy insurance) most of which will end up going to fight some foreign war or support some nefarious terrorist organization anyway ... The people that really need this insurance still can't afford it, so I'm not seeing what the problem is.

A Tax Hike by any other name is still just that - A Tax Hike

Sorry to rain on your parade even though the gubbermint site is still messed up Ehealthinsurance has posted the numbers from the gubbermint. So if you want to jump out of your Medicare, Tricare, or VA coverage you are free to apply for coverage at Ehealth. Most of you probably knew thought that this will cost you about 10 times as much as you are currently paying but since you think its a freebie go ahead and apply.

Total BS.

Having seen enough posts of yours, I've decided that you truly don't know how to spell it, so I'm going to help you out.

It's government. You're welcome.
