Obamacare's Minnesota, Connecticut, and Oregon Exchanges Filled With Glitches

Weekly Standard ^ | 10/1/13 | Daniel Harper

[jimbo123]

A Minnesota affiliate reports that MNSure, the state's Obamacare exchange, is down due to a glitch:

Likewise, a Connecticut affiliate reports the state's Obamacare "storefront" will be closed for weeks:

And in Oregon, the exchange there is delayed due to "glitches" and will be down for weeks:

"Carney forgot to tell the press.....but I was recently diagnosed w/ 'transient
global amnesia' but only on the subjects of Benghazi, Obamacare, and my golf
score."

"I'm having an episode now---relapsing back to my
days as a tuba player in my high school marching band."

Isn’t it standard procedure to have a beta version, test it out on a small scale first?

[Liz]

I guess the poor guy is exhausted from doing all those O/Care body cavity searches and rectal exams.

Its called Cover Oregon. There are billboards up and down Interstate 5, there are radio spots twice an hour on the conservative stations and they wrote and produced a song that some hippies sing with acoustic guitars on TV with flowers, rainbows and other hippies dancing around.

Maybe they should have spent some of the promotion dollars on the programmers?

<><> “The plan that Congress is considering will provide health insurance to millions of Americans who don’t have it and control costs for millions more who do.” — Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa, calling for Congress to pass ObamaCare, March 16, 2010

<><> “Right now, unless you and the Obama administration enact an equitable fix, the ACA will shatter not only our hard-earned health benefits, but destroy the foundation of the 40-hour work week that is the backbone of the American middle class.”— Hoffa in a July 2013 letter to Sen. Harry Reid and Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the top Senate and House Democrats

Clinton had snafus

Obamatollah has glitches

If they can’t even get a website up and running, how are they going to manage health care for millions of people?

Not in the Democrats' world.

This "system" looks like it was pieced together by high school students over their fall breaks. Error messages seem "stock" from the compiler, they're not "trapped" and deciphered for the end-user, and the whole interface looks kludgy. There's probably a lot of animated .GIFs and blinking text when you finally register someone.

They Republicans in Congress should be using these examples--screaming from the tops of their lungs, telling America, "this healthcare system is not ready for prime time!"

[I want the USA back]

This is fun. I’m enjoying the show.

Has the federal government ever run a program that works?

[GOPJ]

This gargantuan project is so far above their expertise that it will be a windfall for every con-artist and crook that has a computer.

It's a windfall for the crooks in congress too.

Every health care company lobbyist is lined-up outside congress with wads of cash. They buy a 'tweak' and their company makes billions. And the cost? They give 'donations' and buy 100,000 copies of the congressman's book... - 'How I Became A Servant of the People - and a Millionaire in Four Short Years'...

Not if you work for the gov’t. Private business lose customers and go out of business if things don’t work. Gov’t employees get promotions and big pensions.

Wait to you see the gaping security issues that are behind the scenes on these systems. Something so complex, built from scratch can not possibly be secure.

If you know what you are doing, yes.

I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions.

This explains why these tyrants have no desire to listen to the will of We the People....their re-election campaigns and/or retirements are being funded and pockets are being lined so they have no need to listen to everyday citizens.
