Yeah, what the hell. 125 million in other people’s money isn’t a big deal, right?
Get a new system that will keep this floating turd going.
Remember those low IQ dope types in school?
They’re all in the gubmit now...the only place where losers naturally gather.
Remember, war is what happens when the gubmit identifies an enemy.
Revolution is what happens when WE identify the enemy.
And there is no greater enemy than low IQ gubmit idiots.
The system was designed to fail, IMO.
So the government could take over the entire health care system and impose single-payer. They’ll blame the insurance companies, individual states, Bush, Putin and anyone but themselves.
Geez, if the beltway can’t do it...?
Maryland ping.....
Did they spend $125 mil or borrow it?
Before ObamaCare there were over 1,100 insurance companies in the health market. Now there are 30, plus there are now 463 counties in the US that have only one health insurance underwriter.
Furthermore, each of those 1,100+ defunct insurance companies had sufficient IT systems, sales and back-office support staff and were all paying claims on a timely basis, backed up by a state regulator who was happy to enforce the letter of the law.
ObamaCare caused the trashing and total waste of all of these system and facilities and has spent billions in a futile attempt to replicate their functions, all in the name of insuring the uninsured.
By nature,state owned or run businesses are higher cost, lower quality of supply, lower quantity of supply, and lower efficiency than privately own or run businesses.
So good it’s mandated by the fedreal government
Good luck with that. The fed codified obamacare under US tax law. Don’t pay in? Don’t participate and pay your “fair share” you say? The feds can now legally through the IRS: fine, penalize, seize your property and assets, and imprison you if you do not comply. It will happen, just as the architects of obamacare have planned, and it WILL happen. Remember, under obama the IRS has its own swat team and police force, along with billions of rounds of ammunition, and they are just itching to use it.
The ridiculously high amounts of tax money spent for these exchanges and websites is a thinly disguised money laundering operation.
None of these sites would cost anywhere near this kind of money in the real world.
Add Oregon’s disaster into the mix, and over a half billion dollars has gone down the rat hole in DC, MD and OR.
You can buy a lot of medical care for that kind of hope and change.
Will be ignored in the media.
I spent the last 21 years of my programming career at a medium sized software company writing business applications. This included order processing and inventory control for one of the major cell phone companies that processed many thousands of orders a day, while shipping millions of phones per year, and the system ran smoothly.
Something’s very wrong if MD can’t get a system up and running in five years. Then again you have state bureaucrats dealing with Obama bureaucrats so I guess it’s not surprising.
$125 million here...$125 million there...
pretty soon you’re talking about some real money
Now that there’s some gooOOood governmenting~!
What’s scary is, if Owe’Malley gets the nom, he could very well win the election. After 2012, I have concluded that the American electorate overall is that dumb.
Typical Dems. They abandon their own system only to adopt one from a state that has an even bigger debt. Looks like more Marylanders will be fleeing across the Potomac (at least until Virginia sets up their own exchange, based upon Maryland’s old system).
