Obama Care
Meltdown Now In Plain Sight

Glitch Watch: President Obama says he’s glad the shutdown is over. He may soon wish it were back, since there’s now nothing to distract attention from the cataclysmic ObamaCare meltdown — and who’s to blame for it.
If Obama and his fellow Democrats hoped that the startup “glitches” would soon fade from view as technicians patched up the federal exchange, they were badly mistaken. Since its launch, ObamaCare’s problems have only mounted.
Tech experts are now saying that the federal exchange site — which covers 36 states —may be hopelessly flawed. USA Today reports that the government apparently used 10-year-old technology to build it, and quotes experts saying that it will need a complete overhaul before it works properly.
Glitches that were supposed to be fixed still plague the site. A poll conducted by United Sample found that of the 832 who tried to log into the federal exchange, only small fraction said they had no problems. The rest got error messages, had to try again later, couldn’t create an account or found that the system was down.
Reports also indicate that, in the rush to get the sites built, the exchanges mostly don’t let customers search for plans based on which doctors and hospitals they have in their networks — critical information to many looking for coverage.
