You can’t fix stupid. I don’t think the ‘RATS will ever get this mess fixed.
ObamaCare isn’t about software glitches. It’s about a system designed to implode upon itself thereby setting off a clamor for single-payer.
What is good for the nation is bad for the Democrat party.
That probably won't happen. Instead, the subsidy levels will be raised to keep the premiums "affordable."
Obama will save face and the federal deficit will balloon even more. In other words, business as usual in DC.
Medicare has been doing online enrollments for years. They even have online enrollment in Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplements. The Medicare Advantage programs vary from county to county and state to state.
Why could they not have just modified that Medicare online software? It surely would have cost less that the supposed $634 million they spent for the current Obamacare mess.
To quote Judge Judy: “Follow the money.”
It might be interesting to see where that $634 million went.
What if the same programers that were hired to take out Iran's Newkleer program ( Moo$$add ), actually worked on this project? :-)
Oh, that would be delicious payback for Commander Negative Uno who has been sticking it in their back since 1/20/2008....
The government is already functionally bankrupt. No one else much cares except Constitutionalists.
Frank Chan runs a company that knows how to design this software. He has done 30 projects like this. He said the site is customer-UNFRIENDLY illogical and his company would be embarrassed to charge more that one million to build such a site
He said this on Sean Hanniity radio show yesterday
I read where some young genius wanted O to hire Facebook to fix the OC website.
NO!! Make them go through it and let it be the disaster it is becoming. If it is delayed for a year, it gives them time to fix it and the Dems come away with a major coup.
Right now, the conservatives need ZeroCare to fail on an astronomical level so that voters remember in 2014 the disastrous crap that was shoved down their throats by Dems. That's how conservatives (hopefully, Tea Partiers) will make major gains in the mid-terms!!
And the crap that comes out of places like that is lightweight, out of date, laughable KludgeWare that is comically bad.
Like what they got.
It can't be fixed. Been in projects like this before. The only thing to do is flush it all and start over.
But they won't, which is good thing. Let it collapse.
Hey Deimmycrats: It’s not the technology, it’s the math stupid.
Whew! What a mess! Hey, let’s just go with a single payer system! /sarc
The regime used “trusted” computer geeks from their campaign organization to try to hide from congress.
Unfortunately, the only thing they know how to build a program for is voter fraud.
As someone else on FR noted, 2,000+ pages of a law, plus 30,000 (!) pages of regulations cannot be programmed into a computer. The Big Blue, chess playing computer, was less complex than this.
In person, on national news websites, and on local news/chat websites, we need to make sure our neighbors understand what ObamaCare means.
We have a social responsibility to let others know that “navigators” have no background checks and may be illegals or felons working on identity theft.
We have a collective responsibility (the pro-ObamaCare far left fringe should love that phrase) to let people know that ObamaCare is not going well and buying a policy may mean paying premiums for insurance that won’t actually exist if they need it, under a policy that will not guarantee that any doctors will be willing to treat those who manage to buy coverage.
We especially need, for the good of our fellow diverse Americans, legal or illegal, to ridicule the idea of paying for coverage now, at prices that are artificially high to subsidize those insiders with connections, when people can get the same prices later (and probably with a much shorter wait) once they actually need the insurance, if that need ever arises.
Otherwise, premiums shoot up and up, pushing others out of the system — a death spiral that can continue year after year.
What's the problem? Just borrow more money from ourselves.
As long as Congress "budgets" by CRs, Obama will threaten default unless Congress coughs up more dough, and the Collaborators will fold.
