ObamaCare site to go offline for more repairs

Define functional. In CT the health care exchange was down for a significant part of the first day. Out of 23k visits, only a few hundred signed up.

Sites like Amazon and Netflix cope just fine with much more traffic on a daily basis. They are scared to admit that the bloated and inefficient code is the reason for all the failures.

Maybe they don’t want you to find out the prices

You can't know the price until you pass the funding!!

[Army Air Corps]

They had, what, three years to work on this and it is this buggy?! Who wrote the code for this disaster, some kids smoking crack?

[matt04]

IIRC, in CT less than 200 people signed up on the first day.

It was done by the company in Canada that does their national health care stuff.

And to whom did the Canadian company outsource this crap?

[steve86]

I really have no choice but to apply for coverage for my family and since they (the state) sent me a paper application I am using it. Long, but reliable and doesn’t crash. And I can make a straightforward copy before sending it.

[nascarnation]

I don’t know that they did.
I assumed they used some of their 69,000 employees to do it.
I may be incorrect.

Of course the MSM are reporting indignantly about how this was outsourced to a foreign country, right?

[justa-hairyape]

Anyone getting health insurance through these clowns deserves what they get. Come on. Our reps did not even read the bill. Their vote was forced. The senate voted on Christmas eve before the new Republican Senator could stop it. The feds decision was unprecedented and schizophrenic. Obama has illegally granted waivers to all his cronies and political friends. Only a fool would sign-up. This government wont be around long enough to prosecute anyone for failure to pay.

In California it was (appropriately) Zero.

and 0bama is blaming the slowdown on 9 million visitors (if true) just looking, in the first week?

And to whom did the Canadian company outsource this crap?

[Neidermeyer]

I’ve been trying since it opened just to get a price and I have been unable to get past verifying my wifes ssn ,, keeps failing on that and kicking me back to the start...

[Roccus]

See?

Just what I said.

[VerySadAmerican]

I haven’t paid much attention today. Has the media found it’s “successful” applicants yet. I mean anyone who isn’t named Chad.

[VerySadAmerican]

According to obama the law is already funded.
