Only “hundreds” have been able to sign up for a health care plan at the Obamacare websites. The Wall Street Journal reported:
Okay now we will try the landline # 1-800-318-2596 listed above or 1-800-318-2596 = 1-800-FAU-CKYO.

Since October 1st, when Obamacare’s health-insurance exchanges were launched, they have been plagued by glitches.
Obamacare’s main goal is to expand access to cheap insurance. It offers subsidies to those who cannot afford it and bars insurers from charging people more because they are sick. The sick who lack insurance will probably keep trying to enroll. The young and healthy may give up more quickly, if it is too difficult. And if they do, the insurance firms that offer policies via the exchanges will find that their pool of customers is disproportionately sick and costly to cover. This may spur them to raise prices for everyone, making the young and healthy even less likely to enroll, despite the small fines they would have to pay if they lack insurance. A death spiral could follow.
The success of Obamacare depends on getting lots of people to sign up. So nonprofit groups, insurers and some states are energetically promoting the exchanges. But such efforts will be wasted unless the software gremlins are fixed.

I bet I could get someone to design one that would work for only $1 million.
A software expert was on Fox last night and he commented that it appeared as though the ObamaCare program was set up by someone who had never done it before. It must have been a good Democrat contributor, though, and that’s how contracts are let in Obama World.
It is more than software problems. The costs and the deductibles are much more of a problem.
“Obamacare’s main goal is to expand access to cheap insurance.”
Actually:
“Obamacare’s main goal is to CREATE A SINGLE PAYER SYSTEM.”
There I fixed it.
Let’s see, Obamacare was started to give 30 million insurance coverage. They spent 380 million to cluster the web site. Why didn’t we just give each of those folks 12 million dollars and have it over with?
Can you explain your math to me again...maybe make it simpler?
Some comedian observed:
“It’s like 1-800-FLOWERS not being prepared for Valentine’s Day”
They had years to design, test and stress test the system.
hat....just maybe nothing about the cobbled together Obamacare is meant to work...just another expensive step towards the real Socialist goal...Single Payer Socialized Medicine...run by a leaderless government that at this point is itself imploding....
I won’t be signing up, and haven’t bothered to visit the website. Has anyone here tried it?
I tried the first 3 days (just trolling) and gave up.
Haven’t been back since.
It was done by the same kid who did his Birth Certificate
