[quote=Dale Cooper;31773825]It really feels like a bad joke has been played on America.
Since I'm old and no longer care, I think it's hilarious![/QUOTE]
You sound like my father although he did not think it was hilarious. If you hate the AFA and want to defund it then you need to explain this to those who are already benefiting from it.
It doesn't matter if they only invoiced 58 million.
The real problem is the fact that 500 million have been spent attempting to implement not just the website, but the entire IT infrastructure behind it, and it is, to be blunt, A COLOSSAL BLUNDER.
Any competent free market developer could implement the WEBSITE for a tiny fraction of that. What can't be done is the coordination between a gazillion agencies and industries AND a website and have that work out, especially when failure to achieve the goals is rewarded with additional contracts to "fix" it.
How much did we spend on Medicare and VA enrollment and records? The VA health costs 52 billion this year and the Tea Party isn't complaining are they? Total VA costs are double the historic average. 45% of veterans separating are applying for disability. At this rate it would be cheaper just to give everyone separating a check for $100,000. Entitlements good, something that looks like welfare bad...very bad.
Wrong we aren't talking about the cost of any medical care yet, this is simply the staggering cost of a website that doesn't work for the consumer that is forced into this stupid program, and fined if they don't want to purchase the product - when we don't even know what the damn product is. Obammy and the rest of the elites don't even have to buy this into this crap that they are ramming down our throats.
This has nothing to do with welfare, it's about redistribution of money, information gathering and control over every aspect of our lives for generations to come.

Just curious are you on Medicare, Tricare, Medicaid, VA or are a veteran and could always apply for VA coverage? If not do you know if anyone in your family who was not insured and died at a fairly young age? Would you tell your children to not sign up for the ACA because its socialism?
