once she cleared the browsing history, cookies and other temporary data on her computer.

That's really gonna suck for Obama. It's one thing to have a problem you can correct in software, but if the customer has to do all that to enroll, it's gonna be a long cold winter for Obamacare .... LOL !!!!

These people are incredible....’glitches’

I guess they describe the Challenger Accident as a ‘glitch’.

One enrollee every two weeks? At that rate the entire population won't be enrolled until the year 54,911.Think of all the “taxes” the IRS can collect from Delaware in the next 52,000 years.

Congrats, Janice! Obammy now has your routing and checking acct. numbers.

Actually, the process described in your list is a one-step deal that takes no more than a minute.

However, I sincerely doubt that doing that is all that is required for the exchange sites to work. And left out of the article is the enrollee’s reaction to her new, much higher premium and ludicrous deductible increase.

So, #1 in Delaware... I've heard 5 in Iowa... Yet I hear others crowing about some 200,000 have already signed up. Where? There seems to be a tremendous disparity in these numbers. These one here, a handful there reports would tend to suggest only a few hundred or so may have signed up in total. I suspect the 200K number is a statistical estimate based on web traffic, not actual sign ups. I also suspect the low numbers. I'll bet the real numbers are on the order of 10K to 20K.

So, when are the other 46,980,000 uninsured that obamacare was supposed to cover going to sign up to get financially fleeced for terrible coverage?

The system has been up and running for over two week and they celebrate ONE friggin’ enrollee? You can’t make this stuff up.

My point is, even if my mom knows how to use a computer, she doesn't even know what a cookie is. If you depend up on the customer to fix something like that, you're in big trouble ...

Biden finally got through

[Labyrinthos]

Did this person actually buy a health plan or did she merely sign up for the right to browse through the exchange to see if she finds anything she wants to buy? The left and their allies in the MSM seem to have blurred the distinction between enrolling to shop and actually buying a plan.

[Sir Napsalot]

You could laugh, but I’m not.

HOW MUCH WASTE(? known and unknown) for such microscopic number of people that will ‘benefit’ from the epic failure?

[bert]

You are confusing your ability with the ability of most.

Most don’t even know there are “browsing history, cookies and other temporary data” on their computer. For most, the solution would be forget about it or buy a new computer

Department of Health and Social Service officials have declared 59-year-old Janice Baker of Selbyville the first confirmed resident to enroll in the marketplace.

Publicly announcing who has signed up for insurance and what her age is. That information is private between me, my doctor, the IRS and the NSA. I smell a HIPAA violation.

Chances are good that she’s going to get a subsidy. After all, there is NO verification of the applicant’s income, that small detail having been waived by our Socialist Santa Claus. He has instituted the “honor system” by his decree. What could go wrong?

[MrB]

They tend to blur the definitions when it’s to their favor to do so.

Kinda like the father of their ideology did when he said
“Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”

[MrB]

Did he fire a couple of blasts off his balcony first?

I've done some research and have found that the Obama Administration estimate for Delaware Obamacare sign-ups is only 8000.

So Delaware only has 7999 more to go to reach that goal.

BTW, the pro-rata goal based on population would be 20,358 by my calculation so, for some reason, Delaware looks like slim pickings for this piece of crap called Obamacare.
