But an unknown number of others may be uninsured because of the paperwork backlog. What difference, at this point, does it make???

Although I am not at all optimistic about our country’s future, there is a slight — very slight — possibility that a whole lot of people will wake up and say, “Hey! Our government screws up everything they touch! It’s one train wreck after another with these guys! What we need is LESS government. A lot less. Like, maybe, about as much as the Constitution says, and no more.”

Was Romneycare in Mass completely dropped for the Fed system? I’ve been wondering about that.

The comments on the Boston paper were pretty merciless. But I’ve been on projects that were doomed from the start. I usually recognize them within a few minutes.
In this case the requirements constantly changed, there was never an opportunity to test the system and they were at the mercy of the folks in Canada running the show off the cliff.

"...These people came here to lead and innovate, and instead theyre doing manual workarounds, and they are embarrassed to tell friends and family that they work for the Health Connector, Yang said at the board meeting..." I don't know this person. She may be very nice for all I know. But I cannot stomach these people doing this. Damned liberals. All their damned "good intentions" and idealism are going to destroy us.

Most all of the able-bodied people at my last apartment building, most decades younger than us, were on full disability. For extra points, guess their ethnicity.
