As the White House touted improvements to the troubled HealthCare.gov website Sunday morning, conservative pundit George Will said the real test might be in six months when employers begin to weigh their options for 2015.
"Watch the employers, because if they start dumping people into … Medicaid – and the doctors then say, the burdens are too high and the reimbursement is too low; we're not seeing Medicaid patients – then all hell is going to break loose," Will said on "Fox News Sunday."
Former Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., voted for Obamacare, and admitted Sunday it hasn't worked out like he expected.
"Clearly, the rollout has been a disaster, and it's still a work in progress," Bayh told host Chris Wallace. Short-term, he said, the program has been "very problematic, and first impressions tend to be lasting."
If things don't turn around in the next year, he said, it will be "problematic" for Democrats in the 2014 midterm elections.
With the passing of the November 30 deadline to have the glitch-filled website functioning, James Capretta of the Ethics and Public Policy Center told Fox News it may be a month before anyone can tell if there has been success in fixing the site.

Bayh Humbug.
Against my advise, my daughter and her husband signed up in 45 minutes. According to him. I didn’t know the payment side had been built yet?
Great. I hope they enjoy the identity theft.
They are spinning the website to buy time to pull the wool. No one is going to get quality health care. They killed that by passing this law! Doctors, hospitals, clinics et all cannot provide health care if they are not reimbursed. Ya can’t pay the light bill morons much less payroll! It’s an effing business. Something foreign to DC!
Idiots all!
Time for America to lob a simple, solid slogan at the Obama Administration: HANDS OFF MY HEALTH CARE!
George sugar coated the mess. Guess he had to, in order to keep his job.
Anyone surprised in seeing OBamBam kicking the can down the road?
Did they pay or just enroll?
Free doesn't stay free forever in the case of Medicaid.
You know what, Evan? You and the other Rats are effin' idiots. Everybody in business knew exactly how this was going to turn out, but YOU WOULDN'T LISTEN! You locked the Republicans, who are mostly businessmen who know their insurance, OUT of the bill-writing. We knew what it would do, and if you really didn't know it was because you slapped away all of the people who did.
F*** you, Evan Bayh.
(And your brother, Birch)
Tank is set ablaze,yet the prison folks are losing, Daryl climbs on tank which is obscured through fiery smoke, but he can see out and crossbows all the attackers— Audy Murphy style.
Enrolled. According to my bimbo son in law, who loves zero, it took 45 minutes to enroll. When I told him it was not a secure site, he just scoffed.
oooops wrong thread
I think the crap got a little too deep for Evan. I’m from Indiana and I once predicted he would be our version of Clinton. Then I think he wised up and just figured how much of his soul he would have to sell to the devil. I’m not giving him any credit, I just don’t think he wanted to go that far down the shit hole. I think he was/is a bit naive.
Obama- The Crisis President.
“The government currently is making bulk payments to insurance companies who are self-reporting their sign-ups because the back end of the system isn’t properly keeping an accounting.”
Buying insurance off after blaming them for cancellations.
The systems not yet built for the website I think are all related to how the government reimburses insurance companies. If consumers pay their share of the premiums in January they should be able to begin using the coverage without getting stuck for the cost of the subsidy.
