You are correct. Obamacare is a TAX that has screwed up the Insurance business and made most of our policies go up quite a bit.

The Obamacare TAX has caused me about a 30% increase in the last 16 months.

Just once, could a liberal back up ridiculous claims with some actual information and a logical thought process, or even a citation of one?

How exactly do you figure a $2 trillion federal pricetag, double and triple premium costs for everyone, insanely high deductibles (and no coverage before the full deductible is met), being forced to buy coverage for a million things you'll never need, incredibly narrow networks, a very low percentage of actual insurance coverage when it finally does pay anything, exacerbated physician shortages, and everything even worse next year, help ANYBODY--let alone 99% of EVERYBODY?

Spanish Language HealthCare.gov full of problems

Let's start with the name of the Spanish website - CuidadoDeSalud.gov, but that's confusing to Spanish speakers because it translates into "for the caution of health." The Spanish language website launched 2 months late and it's almost unreadable because they used a computer translator to generate the website. I don't know how many of you have ever used a computer translator, but they are not very good. Cuidado (caution)DeSalud (of health).Gov is riddled with misspellings, word errors, usage errors and links that only go to English sites. It's almost unusable.

The worst of it is that nobody at Health and Human Services or anywhere else in the Federal Government bothered to even test OR read the new Spanish language HealthCare.gov. The had no clue at all that the links all went to English Language sites for plan comparisons until the Associated Press contacted HHS.

The incompetence is both Staggering and Never Ending.

Everything Obama touches turns to turd. If he were a car, he would be a beat-up Chevy Vega, with smoke coming out of the tailpipe and holes in the floorboards.

"For the caution of health" pretty much sums up the whole experience for Obamacare.

And yet other just as massive websites seem to be functioning just fine. Oh wait, that's the private sector, you know those people who make too much money and need to give some of it up so there won't be any income inequality.

You should know by now, anything that idiot in the WH and his minions touches turns to crap almost instantly.

Gee all they were missing was a logo to go with that statement:

I've worked on complete operating systems in less time.

A web application with a 3 year goal is quite doable.
There is no excuse.

The FedGov sat on this for 2.5 years before moving their butt to get this thing done.
Then they played the "crony" card in picking the contractor.


Poor planning and even poorer execution.
Outside government agencies said the website was not ready to go live and HHS went forward anyway.
