Of course it should work better: they have eliminated any small businesses from enrolling via the website by shutting down the SHOP part of the exchange. That has to greatly reduce traffic on the site.

Now for the next part. Will they suckers enough young to pay for it. Come on young people, there are alot of lefties waiting for you to sign up so you can subsidize their health care insurance. It must make them feel so manly to depend on young people just starting out.

Emergency room must stabilize they under no obligation to provided long term treatment. So yes people who can't afford treatment do die for a lack insurance

"A 24-year-old Cincinnati father died from a tooth infection this week because he couldn't afford his medication, offering a sobering reminder of the importance of oral health and the number of people without access to dental or health care.

According to NBC affiliate WLWT, Kyle Willis' wisdom tooth started hurting two weeks ago. When dentists told him it needed to be pulled, he decided to forgo the procedure, because he was unemployed and had no health insurance.

When his face started swelling and his head began to ache, Willis went to the emergency room, where he received prescriptions for antibiotics and pain medications. Willis couldn't afford both, so he chose the pain medications."

Reported Obamacare website problems below:

The critical verification system is unavailable, (the system that the system that confirms peoples identities) and makes sure people are receiving proper coverage information. Applications can not be submitted without this important step. They are saying this will be fixed within 24 hours.

When site asked if asks if a navigator is assisting you with your application after clicking none the next page is incorrect. It incorrectly displays a message saying "you've told us another person is helping you completed the application.

An address associated with healthcare.gov is sending emails telling you that if you login you will get a different message alert suggesting that no message ever appeared.

Yet our system let's illegals get chronic care in hospitals.
What a screwed up system we have.

Article is from 2008 but it's no different today.
Several hospitals in South Texas had to close their dialysis centers for that very reason.

Remember, the website is only one small part. Millions are losing their healthcare insurance and millions more will be only that part has been hidden because Obama moved the date past the 2014 election so people won't find out until it's too late. All this to help only 3% of the population.

They cannot confirm who you are online.
They can only confirm you put in a valid SS right ?

How are they verifying that's your SS and you are a US citizen ?
