WaPo puts Obamacare fail on the front page
Coach is Right ^ | 10/18/13 | Michael D. Shaw

Rep. Robert E. Andrews (D-N.J.), who played a key role in passing the health-care law and has worked on its implementation, said he told White House officials early this summer he had been hearing from insurers that the online system had flaws.

“Nothing I told them ever surprised them,” Andrews said in an interview. “The White House has acknowledged all along something this massive was going to have implementation problems.”

Two allies of the administration, both of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the controversy surrounding the rollout, said they approached White House officials this year to raise concerns that the federal exchange was not ready to launch. In both cases, Obama officials...

The online flaws are going to be nothing compared to the offline flaws.

Works as designed. This way it can be freely changed...to steal more money, enslave more Americans, and guarantee democrat majority forever.

Nothing to see here...

Democrat Party knows they MUST force Obozo to back down and grant them at least a one-year delay, or else they’re all TOAST.

He’s extremely stubborn so it will take a full-court press, which is now starting.

Wait until open enrollment at business across the country goes into full swing over the next few weeks. There’s gonna be a lot of angry workin’ “folks” out here.

The focus of the misery at the moment is the “implementation”. What happens when millions upon millions of people opt out and then refuse to pay the fine (Civil disobedience)?

Go Galt and starve the beast.

Most board certified American physicians I know are quitting. We’re going to get— children graduates poorly trained, or Dr. Bombay or Chief Arulu the witch doctor. Check Canada and the UK . Over the counter medication you manage, not a physician with lab tests— since they won’t pay for any of that.

Doc professional friends are forting up. As in making their fort.

For months the White House & HHS have insisted, "Yes it is a massive, complex, software system. But we've got such a great game plan and such fantastic talent on it, that our airtight schedule remains right on target for the October 1st Rollout!"

("RollOut"? .... or "RollOver And Play Dead"??)

And countless times the press uncritically reported this wonderful news verbatim .... no naysayers quoted, no balancing soundbite from O's critics, not even one of Uncle Walter's patented "raised eyebrows".

I can't help but remember when Pres. Reagan committed to the missile defense system known as SDI (Strategic Defense Initiative), derisively labeled "Star Wars" in the press.

The MSM back then had *no* problem locating plenty of "experts" to roll out after every Reagan press release, to shake their heads, cluck their tongues, sigh loudly, roll their eyeballs and definitively state that SDI/StarWars was sooooo complex that it was literally impossible to create the software to manage such a monstrosity.

They weren't merely saying that it would miss all deadlines. They were flat-out saying it could not possibly happen no matter how long the schedule.

We are going to end up with 150 million on Medicare and almost no doctors accepting it.

Unfortunately, the beast doesn’t get starved when you can digitize money in any amount. They don’t care about the economy...

"Locked out"

Speaking of WAPO delivering signs of the times, they announced the start of the countdown back in March 2010:

"Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:"

Har! I like that: ObamaCare --- Free Candy --- Step Right In.

It reminds me of another special wagon that advertised Free Candy. Do you remember this? ---

I’ve heard that theory in several places and honest I don’t believe it, for one main reason: this present disaster IS government run healthcare, and everyone knows it. The so-called controlled market of the exchanges is too elevated a concept for most Low Info Voters. People I’m talking to at the checkout counter get it. The unfolding mess is the government’s problem and it will only be that much worse if they grab the whole thing. I think single payer as a concept can’t survive a display of incompetence this massive and this immediate. Think boiling the frog. Slow works. Fast doesn’t. The frog is now in full alarm and trying to get out, God-willing, while there is still time

I don’t think kenyancare can be fully delayed. Millions have been dumped off their old insurance. Where are they supposed to get “coverage” if it is now delayed?
