Experts: Only “Hundreds” Have Been Able to Sign Up for Obamacare Online
Gateway Pundit ^ | October 7, 2013 | Jim Hoft

What ineptitude.

In Obamacare’s first week online.
** Millions of Americans were turned away.
** The online system crashed.
** 99% of applications may have hit a wall and weren’t processed.
** The Obamacare website shut down after only a week in operation.

Now this… Only “hundreds” have been able to sign up for a health care plan at the Obamacare websites. The Wall Street Journal reported:

About 30 million uninsured people live in the states the federal marketplace will serve, including Texas and Florida.

So far, Web-traffic problems are allowing only a small trickle of buyers, said John Gorman, chief executive of Gorman Health Group, an insurance-industry consulting firm with clients selling policies on the exchanges.

Large insurers have seen enrollment figures totaling in the hundreds each, said Sumit Nijhawan, chief executive of Infogix Inc., a data-integrity firm that works with such insurers as WellPoint Inc., Aetna Inc. and Cigna Corp.

So far, many tens of thousands of people had started the application process but the number of those who were able to create accounts and shop for coverage is likely in the low thousands, according to people with knowledge of the situation and estimates by insurance-industry advisers.

The administration has declined to say the total number of enrollees.

Team Obama also has been exaggerating their numbers…
For example, California initially claimed more than 5 million hits on the first day of enrollment, but has now clarified that they received only 645,000.

My theory as to why the Obamacare web site keeps breaking down....

A whole bunch of jokers are logging in with the various Obama combinations of his:

names

Social Security numbers

and addresses...

Here is the bigger story...

I just got my Insurance package today from the company, as expected my premiums went up due to Obamacare.
They went up 31%

Now here is the kicker, I checked the same plan on the Texas Obamacare exchange and it was up 150% over what I paid last year through my company.

Starting next year, The company’s won’t be exempt from all the rules.

Obama and the Dems are killing the middle class!

High school nerds could have wrote better code. Better enjoy the good times now though as the next decade or so will suck.

“Step Right Up”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByomIJf5n9w

Step right up, step right up, step right up,
Everyone’s a winner, bargains galore
That’s right, you too can be the proud owner
Of the quality goes in before the name goes on
One-tenth of a dollar, one-tenth of a dollar, we got service after sales
You need perfume? we got perfume, how ‘bout an engagement ring?
Something for the little lady, something for the little lady,
Something for the little lady, hmm
Three for a dollar
We got a year-end clearance, we got a white sale
And a smoke-damaged furniture, you can drive it away today
Act now, act now, and receive as our gift, our gift to you
They come in all colors, one size fits all
No muss, no fuss, no spills, you’re tired of kitchen drudgery
Everything must go, going out of business, going out of business
Going out of business sale
Fifty percent off original retail price, skip the middle man
Don’t settle for less
How do we do it? how do we do it? volume, volume, turn up the volume
Now you’ve heard it advertised, don’t hesitate
Don’t be caught with your drawers down,
Don’t be caught with your drawers down
You can step right up, step right up

That’s right, it filets, it chops, it dices, slices,
Never stops, lasts a lifetime, mows your lawn
And it mows your lawn and it picks up the kids from school
It gets rid of unwanted facial hair, it gets rid of embarrassing age spots,
It delivers a pizza, and it lengthens, and it strengthens
And it finds that slipper that’s been at large
under the chaise lounge for several weeks
And it plays a mean Rhythm Master,
It makes excuses for unwanted lipstick on your collar
And it’s only a dollar, step right up, it’s only a dollar, step right up

‘Cause it forges your signature
If not completely satisfied, mail back unused portion of product
For complete refund of price of purchase
Step right up
Please allow thirty days for delivery, don’t be fooled by cheap imitations
You can live in it, live in it, laugh in it, love in it
Swim in it, sleep in it,
Live in it, swim in it, laugh in it, love in it
Removes embarrassing stains from contour sheets, that’s right
And it entertains visiting relatives, it turns a sandwich into a banquet
Tired of being the life of the party?
Change your shorts, change your life, change your life
Change into a nine-year-old Hindu boy, get rid of your wife,
And it walks your dog, and it doubles on sax
Doubles on sax, you can jump back Jack, see you later alligator
See you later alligator
And it steals your car
It gets rid of your gambling debts, it quits smoking
It’s a friend, and it’s a companion,
And it’s the only product you will ever need
Follow these easy assembly instructions it never needs ironing
Well it takes weights off hips, bust, thighs, chin, midriff,
Gives you dandruff, and it finds you a job, it is a job
And it strips the phone company free take ten for five exchange,
And it gives you denture breath
And you know it’s a friend, and it’s a companion
And it gets rid of your traveler’s checks
It’s new, it’s improved, it’s old-fashioned
Well it takes care of business, never needs winding,
Never needs winding, never needs winding
Gets rid of blackheads, the heartbreak of psoriasis,
Christ, you don’t know the meaning of heartbreak, buddy,
C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon
‘Cause it’s effective, it’s defective, it creates household odors,
It disinfects, it sanitizes for your protection
It gives you an erection, it wins the election
Why put up with painful corns any longer?
It’s a redeemable coupon, no obligation, no salesman will visit your home
We got a jackpot, jackpot, jackpot, prizes, prizes, prizes, all work guaranteed
How do we do it, how do we do it, how do we do it, how do we do it
We need your business, we’re going out of business
We’ll give you the business
Get on the business end of our going-out-of-business sale
Receive our free brochure, free brochure
Read the easy-to-follow assembly instructions, batteries not included
Send before midnight tomorrow, terms available,
Step right up, step right up, step right up
You got it buddy: the large print giveth, and the small print taketh away
Step right up, you can step right up, you can step right up
C’mon step right up
(Get away from me kid, you bother me...)
Step right up, step right up, step right up, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon
Step right up, you can step right up, c’mon and step right up,
C’mon and step right up

If we could elect Cruz/Palin or Palin/Cruz with a sizeable “Tea Party” faction in both houses, with the new sources of energy & manufacturing coming on line, along with fusion, the 21st century could be a golden age.

An interesting side note.

For all the proclamations of 0bama fighting for the “middle class”.

It is the exact opposite that is true.

Democrats get their votes on the extremes of the wealth curve. They get votes from the guilt ridden top 1% and the bottom income earners.

They have absolutely NO INTEREST in the “middle”.

As much as they protest the “income” divide, it is actually in their interest to advance it.

Over 300 million opportunities and Cheech and Chong ended up in charge. Sigh. I know we say it over and over, but imagine if the Bush administration had launched such an epic fail online.

I work for a midsize bank/insurance company. We process in the the millions of transactions per day. Our nightly back process from our net app servers runs in the terabyte range. Our IT center is 200 million dollar facility. It took us 3 years to adjust for hipaa compliance.

The jokers have no clue. Do not trust these idiots with your financial and health care data.. Like we have a choice...
