lol, it's not rocket science, that's for sure. I avoid all .gov websites like the plague they are. Talk about data mining and God knows who getting their hands on your personal information. Not a chance!
I find it staggeringly, stunningly stupid that someone would input their SS number on any website.
Wait just a second mister! You mean you don't trust bad code, design defects, and an engineering debacle with your personal info?
How can a health care scheme that's been on the books for three years, with half a $billion spent on website developers, have so many major problems with its website even after all that time and effort to set up?
It's the quality of programmers that the government gets - given the salary they pay and the money the companies that lobby congress shell out, that leave little money left over for the programmers in their employ. Who do you think makes more money - the guy who writes code for some company bidding for that government contract (which is selected by cost) or the guy Google hires with a Porsche as a signing bonus? Half of that half billion was probably spent on dinner parties for and with Congressmen. You get what you pay for and that half billion for what was envisioned is chump change!
Millions of Americans have less than three months. An estimated two million employees who currently receive coverage through their employers have been pushed to the Exchanges and will lose their existing coverage January 1.
For those with existing conditions it's potentially a huge problem. But don't let facts get in your way of slamming evil republicans.
You know how the White House refused to negotiate anything!!! Today, Jay Carney all but said that when Jan 1 rolls around the people that couldn't sign up because the exchanges were broken will get a pass because "that's how the law is written"
...which means they're going to prove the Republicans were right in the first place.
What a stinkin' mess this bunch (on both sides) has created.
Watch, the government will make themselves responsible for a single-payer solution, which will fix everything!

and exactly who or what pushed them, assuming your grim prediction is correct
don't blame the ACA for the decisions of deadbeat employers!
and nice avoidance of the ACA actually protecting consumers with preexisting conditions when it comes to their health coverage
First of all, the problem is unfixable, they will never get it to work...
Second, even if they could get it to work, no one is signing up. With no one signing up, it can't work. It will be a massive failure, as is everything touched by comrade obama the communist..
typical rightwing response
the ACA is law, therefore you have to be insured or choose to break the law!
i thought you conservatives were rule of law types
Y'know, if mr. "I will not negotiate" would have allowed the dreaded repugnicans to delay the citizen mandate in his "signature legislation" for one year (you know, the way HE did for businesses), maybe, just MAYBE, mind you, his people would have had time to thoroughly test the system and made sure it would work the first time!
I'm sure this is what the repubs wanted to do, to delay to thoroughly test for say ... decades
I would be afraid of security issues. If they don't have the basic stuff working right not sure if the security stuff protecting your private information would be working right.
Agreed.
Given the reported crudeness of the system and processes, security, personal info/privacy could also be at risk. I would not feel comfortable using the system now. Time will tell.
the spectacular fail of the ObamaCare launch explains what happened, politics trumped everything else. The debut of ObamaCare is a perfect demonstration of why government should not be trusted with our health care.
We, the American people are just the pawns in the political warfare.
Yet you trust the government with our national defense and aren't we number one in the world in national defense?
Didn't the Obama administration finally address the elephant in the room and call the contractors incompetent? Supposedly you can call and speak with a navigator to sign up for coverage. The navigators I spoke with earlier in the month were worse than clueless. They just got a crash course in being "navigators" and I was less than impressed with the quality. I got the distinct impression they were ill prepared to answer questions.
And how reliable and secure are the system tools they are using? Just wonderin'....
