HHS Document Reveals Scope of Obamacare Rollout Disaster
Breitbart ^ | 5/28/14 | Tom Fitton

Posted on 05/28/2014 5:58:49 PM PDT by Nachum

Type “Obamacare rollout disaster” into the Google search engine, and you get approximately 290,000 results, most of them dating back to the days immediately following the catastrophic October 2013 launch of Healthcare.gov.

Significantly, however, the most recent results focus on the Judicial Watch release on May 19, 2014. That’s the date Judicial Watch released a 106-page document we obtained on May 1 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that reveals the shocking details of the rollout disaster.

Though the Obama administration tried to cover up the full extent of the website failure in the days following its launch, the lengthy HHS document tells a tale of complete collapse. It was forced out of this secretive administration by our November 25, 2013, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit. Judicial Watch filed suit after HHS refused to respond to our October 7, 2013, FOIA request seeking the following information:

Any and all records concerning, regarding, or related to the number of individuals that purchased health insurance through Healthcare.gov between October 1, 2013, and October 4, 2013.

Obama is turning out to be the best thing that ever happened to the Republican Party.

From the article:Caution is needed here.

In the insurance industry, the word "enrolled" means you have selected your policy, completed all the paperwork and paid the first month's premium

Based on that, I seriously doubt one person was enrolled on day one. IIRC, the healthcare.gov website did not have the ability to accept payments until much later. That was about the same time that several internet security gurus said they had hands-on proof the website was wide open to hackers and had no protection whatsoever.

In the excerpt above it's stated that, "48% of registrations failed to process." What, exactly, does that mean? What's the practical difference between a "registration" and an "enrollment?"

Lots of questions. Zero answers.

He could be. Here's hoping that the Republicans are able to grow some ba... uh, courage and stand up to him.

Too many of them are willing to toss the entire country under the buffalo stampede to keep their cushy jobs and
democrat "friends."

Except he was clearly a disaster after the first four years and the morons reelected him anyway.

The Republican party is pretty much useless. They cannot win even when it is handed to them on a platter.

Last I heard, the Obamacare “back end”, (Obamacode for “Billing”), has never been completed.

This is very surprising given Barry’s known expertise in “Leading from Behind.”

In a Transparent World, one would think that THE ONE who leads from behind would have his back end ready to go first.

Now if Obama’s back end can’t go, and he is leading from behind, who in their right mind would follow someone who looks like a constipated Ass?

Yeah. Twice. And they're still looking high and low to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
