On Saturday, President Obama’s new Web startup—healthcare.gov—is supposed to work better. How much better is a little hard to pin down. Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius says, "We are definitely on track to have a significantly different user experience by the end of this month." Considering the initial experience was a near total collapse, Sebelius is doing an excellent job at keeping expectations in the bargain basement. It is practically impossible for the site to fail at offering a "different user experience,” so her guarantee is perhaps the weakest promise one could make. The official promise is much more brave. According to a spokeswoman for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the entire federal health care system, from beginning to end, will work as originally intended for the vast majority of users.
That doesn't just mean that the site will function—from sign-up to picking a new plan—but that the handoff of information to insurance companies will run as intended. That back-end step has been the tricky one, even as improvements have been made to the beleaguered site. Insurance company sources tell the National Journal that there is still about a 5 percent error rate in the information the site submits to insurance companies on behalf of those picking a new insurance plan. If the site is fixed but this problem is not, the problem could get worse. People would sign on, fill out the forms, and insurance companies would be flooded with bad data. That would delay insurance companies sending out bills, which is the necessary step required for a person to actually have insurance by Jan. 1. For those in the individual market who have coverage now, if they don’t sign up by that deadline, they will be exposed....

one just wanted to kill puppies... 
I dunno, in street-person clothes she’d strike me as someone looking for meth.
The funny part is, the best they can hope for is the stupid website actually lets people get on so they can see how badly Obamacare is going to screw them! If they think that will be good news, just wait....
She has lovely suits … but this is not working.
I don't always correct typos but when I do it was a painfully obvious typo.
Once that site works many more Americans will be able to get sticker shock
Hmm, didn’t know they botox’d necks too. But there is quite a difference between her pix, below, in the red suit, and this one in the glam gown.
I think she is or was a smoker.
this is going to be Obama’s way out. broken promises, outlandish premiums for cr.. policies. this is going the same way as the flood insurance program.....premiums are out of sight AND you can’t get a mortgage without it.
I know I don’t need to say this but, if this was George Bush the press would be in full uproarious glee that the website [that represents HIM] is still non=functional. The public ridicule would be overwhelming.
The 'different experience' will be going from extremely bad to absolutely horrendously, unimaginably bad.
"Yeah baby, put it on me! Let me see your Death Panel! Owwww!"
“We are definitely on track to have a significantly different user experience by the end of this month.”
Translated: “This sh!t will stink a little less than usual”.
Typical Washington DC: the incompetant, yet infinitely-egotistical, hob nobbing with other fools, knaves, and thieves.
She is the embodiment of failure, yet continues in her position, almost unbelievably.
By the way, her head looks way too big for her body in that picture. It cannot be brains in there, so it must be excrement.
I hope that in the unlikely event that the site is working, anyone signing up on behalf of Barack Obama, just as a favor to make sure that the usurper will represent those who might be covered, will use the correct SSN: 042-68-4425. With the address of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in the capital city of each state, it would be fun to see how many times our Dear Leader can successfully sign up.
[Note: Any “enrollment” with the fake name used by the fake in our White House is intended as humor and/or a form of political protest speech - objecting to socialized medicine - obviously, the fraud in our White House would not utilize anything as substandard as ObamaCare.]
They can say all they want about “new and improved”, but some well-respected tech experts have warned the website is a bonanza for identity theft. Why would anyone go there after we have had time to learn how ridiculously horrendous the entire program is?
People aren’t exactly flocking to the well-functioning state sites, either. When is the one central point going to get through their thick, agenda-driven heads: AMERICANS DON’T WANT THIS.
Yep. Of course, they would be running daily tabs on the late night comedy jokes on the evening news and daily frontpage updates
“Nope, doesn’t work yet”
