Yesterday, Jan Crawford told CBS This Morning that the launch of the ObamaCare exchanges have been “nothing short of disastrous,” but it’s worth noting a day later. Why? Despite the efforts to take down and revamp the Healthcare.gov website, nothing has changed — not the performance, not the promises, and not the administration’s refusal to release any of the stats on enrollees on Day 10
House Republicans reminded IRS ObamaCare chief Sarah Ingram Hall during a hearing later yesterday on ObamaCare implementation that they wanted a delay all along, while Hall insisted that everything was hunky-dory on her end:
House Republicans said Wednesday that chaos in the first nine days of open enrollment under President Obama’s health care law would justify a delay in major provisions of the law, including tax penalties for people who go without insurance in 2014.
The comments came at a hearing of a House committee, where a senior official of the Internal Revenue Service said that its work on the new insurance marketplaces was ”going fine,” just as planned. …
”Obamacare’s first week has been a mess,” said the committee chairman, Representative Darrell Issa, Republican of California. ”This law is not ready for prime time.”
Representative John J. Duncan Jr., Republican of Tennessee, said, ”This is the most messed-up, convoluted, confusing law that’s ever been passed.”
The Obama administration has had three and a half years to work on the law, Mr. Duncan said, so ”it is ridiculous, and kind of sad,” that the government was so poorly prepared for the rollout of the program this week.
Note: Give the New York Times some credit for reporting this, though. Only fourteen newspapers this morning have any stories at all on the ObamaCare exchange, and most of those have to do with the shutdown talks

You think the launch was disastrous? Just wait for the implementation.
This fiasco is just to sign up. Imagine the results when these same clowns are managing your health care.
I say let the program launch as is and let the Democrats take the hit in the mid-term 2014 elections. Hold their feet to the fire. TEA Party candidates take the Senate and then have the House start impeachment.
Instead of using trite and imbecilic terms like "not ready for prime time", the GOP should ALL be reminding everyone that, "This is what happens when you PASS bills in order to find out what's in them."
Somethings happening here, what it is ain’t exactly clear, CBS telling me, I ought to beware...
It was never about healthcare. That was the “hook”. It’s about control measures buried in the bill. They don’t CARE if the websites work, they just want to implement the intrusive government controls.
Epic and Catastrophic Fail.
Actually, is is a “success” for the commie Clown Prince nobama. His goal is to have a single payor situation...which has little to do with health care and much to do with control and enslavement. The books None Dare Call it Treason and Brave New World and the John Birch Society seem to have been correct.
What kills me is that there was very obviously NO Quality Assurance done on this product. They likely never did any User Acceptance Testing either. Large gaming software developers do alpha and beta releases to work out the bugs, but this site was just unveiled on day one with no apparent testing.
Our government is a freaking joke.
The lies these bureaucrats tell are infuriating.
I agree. The House has voted 40 times to repeal the law and has sent budget bills defunding it 4 or 5 times. Let the program roll out without further delay. Don’t interfere, just watch it crash and burn. The GOP opposed it and voted against the ACA law, and tried to stop it. The blame will fall, despite media stories to the contrary, on the Dems by thinking Americans.
“just as planned” is scarier than the lie “everything’s fine’.
