If the propagandists at WaPo say this, you know it's much worse:

Quote:
Software problems with the federal online health insurance marketplace, especially in handling high volumes, are proving so stubborn that the system is unlikely to work fully by the end of the month as the White House has promised, according to an official with knowledge of the project.

The insurance exchange is balking when more than 20,000 to 30,000 people attempt to use it at the same time — about half its intended capacity, said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to disclose internal information. And CGI Federal, the main contractor that built the site, has succeeded in repairing only about six of every 10 of the defects it has addressed so far.

Government workers and tech­nical contractors racing to repair the Web site have concluded, the official said, that the only way for large numbers of Americans to enroll in the health-care plans soon is by using other means so that the online system isn’t overburdened.

The act itself, is unlikely to work fully. Ever.

Oh no! We`ve waited 80 years and now it`s gonna be another month! Woe is us! Sorry, but this too is a bust as far as scandals go.

Yes they do. They think they`ll be getting free healthcare forever but now they`ll have to buy insurance like the rest of us.

If this thing is up and flying right in two years it will amaze me.. There are very few things that our government does well and this is NOT going to be one of them. I hope those who supported this albatross are happy that they have made thousands if not millions of people lose the good healthcare they had for the limited healthcare that this plan now offers. At least Sandra Fluke can now get her rubbers, which is actually good news. Who would ever want her to reproduce??!!!

Sandra will be getting her pills, not condoms. She'll get to reproduce, because when she's ready to have a baby, all she'll have to do is lie to a dude and say she's on them. He'll be too horny to care. Then she can sue him for child support and get on SCHIP, EBT, and a slew of other goodies. This way she gets the money without the muss and fuss of an overbearing sexist dude telling her what to do. Freedom!
