You know ObamaCare is in big trouble when even true believer KOmmies are getting burned by it as you can see in this THREAD, "Just my 2 cents-Health Care Market Place." This is what happens when a community organizer with no real world business experience awards the ObamaCare software contract not to the lowest bidder but to the highest bundler. It's the Chicago Way and the result is that CGI Federal has become the Solyndra of government software contracts. It just doesn't work and won't be working any time soon...if ever. So let us now watch KOmmie appledown lose his ObamaCare faith due to cruel online experience in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, who spotted an ObamaCare navigator at Walmart today earning $48 an hour for doing NOTHING since NO ONE was at her table, is in the [barackets]:
Just on the phone with an ACA representative about verifying my identity. This happened because my first signup was “lost” (no such login) and I had to signup again. The Representative was nice, courteous and very helpful.
[For $48 per hour they better be nice.]
I explained that I uploaded my ID a week ago and still cannot complete the process and that I had been trying to get thru the application process for 2 weeks now. I was placed on the line with Experian (yes the credit rating company) and the recording stated I needed a reference number-I explained that the system did not give me a reference number and wondered why the upload was not received by Experian? The Rep said the “system” went down-I asked if I could upload again and was told I could only mail my ID via US mail.
[The system went down? Gee, what a surprise.]
I also stated that I am very surprised that Experian is involved with this process. I then asked for and spoke to a supervisor-who was courteous and explained that Experian is behind on verifications and I will get an email when this process is complete-that I did not have to “mail” my ID.
[No need to snail mail your ID that they will steal.]
All in all a pretty frustrating experience and since I support the ACA I cannot believe they were not ready for this roll out and that they should have chosen software and verification vendors that could handle the volume.
[The main qualification for the software was how much the company was willing to donate to the Obama campaign.]
Just my 2 cents.
[Your 2 cents and another $500 million in overruns for a software system that will NEVER work. Now on to the other KOmmies...]
All Good Reasons to Have Adopted Preschool Technology and limit signups to small fractions of the alphabet or birthdays each week for a month or 2 so that an untried system could never be overloaded.
[There could be only 10 people per day logging in and that software Solyndra still won't work.]
Anyway, what about calling the number at the bottom of the initial healthcare.gov page and start your application over the phone?
[Sure. I've got nothing better to do with my life than to be placed on permanent hold.]
The problem is the Dems missed a huge opportunity by not making sure the site worked well from day one. We are going to take massive hits on this and if it is fixed very soon, like by the time the shutdown and debt limit arguing is off the done and the media and the asshole Republicans start to focus on the website problems it will be ok, if not watch out it is going to get ugly!
[The Solyndra website won't be fixed by this time next year so very very ugly.]
I have tried to log on for the past 5 days in Georgia to look something up (we have already purchased Insurance through the exchange) but can't get past the login page.
[Georgia? I know someone in your state who successfully "enrolled" in ObamaCare: Chad Henderson. Find out how he did it.]
apparently if the system is too busy, you will sometimes be told that your account doesn't exist even if it does. The key as I discovered last night is to access your account in the middle of the night eastern time. I was able to log in at 11:00 PM Arizona time which is 2:00 AM eastern. The verification went OK but some entries like SSN were difficult to enter properly and took a number of tries. If you have trouble at the first query on SSN, check to see if it's an optional entry and if it is, just don't bother with it. The process will ask you for it again later. Sometimes entries like a phone number expect -'s to be used sometimes not. It also hiccuped on my email addressJust try and see what works. Anyway, I got most of the way through the process but decided to log out and continue another day. I hope the system remembers me!
[The Solyndra system already forgot that you even exist.]
Yes, the ID verification is a nightmare. For me, this is the biggest bottleneck I've encountered. It screwed up and flunked me when I answered the various questions about my life. Then Experian had no record of my applying, no code number. I finally have a drivers license uploaded, but over a week later my verification is still pending. The chat people are worthless, the number one priority of phone help is to give you the bums rush so they can move on to give the next caller the bums rush too. I've been going to healthcare.gov everyday since Oct. 1. I'm no closer to accomplishing anything. One of my favorite authors is Kafka. This whole experience reminds me of him.
[Is Joseph Heller another favorite author of yours because this sounds like you are stuck in "Catch 22."]
On healthcare.gov, I was asked for which cat I bought veterinary insurance.
[ObamaCat. It's ObamaCare for cats.]
We thought we'd just window shop, but for some reason there isn't a way to just look without signing in. I realize that's not the same as signing up, but I still don't really want to tell anybody I might be out there looking. Who wants to know? The NSA? The IRS? Credit bureaus? Other insurance companies who want to advertise to me too?
[The DNC? Nigerian emailers?]
My application says "Status: in progress". I wonder how long it will be before I can shop.
[The day after next year.]
We should just have a national ID card that gets issued to all citizens for use with exactly this kind of thing. Then there would be no problem whatsoever.
[But NOT for voting. No, no. We musn't do that.]
Yup.
Color me cynical...
Is it possible that all the multiple accounts people have to set up are a deliberate system design, so that Obama can inflate the numbers for propaganda purposes? “In the first month alone, 120 million people signed up for Obamacare!”
Kind of like the number of DU accounts?
Exactly, this is just the pre-lims, the incredibly inefficient and incompetent sign-up process designed by the assclown in chief.
Next, wait until they have to actually BUY the crap, and find out how much it costs.
But the real kicker will come when they actually try to USE it, and find out that it doesn’t cover anything and no doctors want any part of it.

BWAHAHAHA. Perfect.
I hate modern writers as much as anyone, but if you ever have a chance, check out Welles’ version of “The Trial.” It captures the nightmare that is the total bureaucratic State. It’s hauntingly unforgettable.
Won’t the Obama administration bring out “Julia” again so she can show us how she signed up for Obamacare?
Now it would be really cool if someone did a satire piece of “Julia” struggling with this monstrosity!
100%
For people who vehemently protested the Patriot Act and spying on citizens under Bush (which I can agree with), they sure are cavalier about just giving the government any of the most private information about their lives. As I read somewhere today-if the site works smoothly, then you need to worry, because it’s probably a phishing or scamming site. Whether it does or doesn’t, you don’t know who you’re actually spilling all your ID info to, and what use they’ll make of it. I won’t go near that site. Right now, I wouldn’t go near any address with “Obama” or “Affordable Healthcare Act” or anything of the kind. I’d bet good money (or better yet, precious metals) that all kinds of scammers from all over the globe are getting in on this act while the gettin’s good.
That was never the real end goal. Some of the Dummies seem to know and approve of the underlying agenda, some don’t. And I believe that even the next layer of the onion-single payer-isn’t the ultimate goal. It all ties in with globalism, Agenda 21, etc, IMO.
I read today that even a goodly number of the “enrollees” are actually cancellations.
“Surreal” was the exact word I used when describing the illegal alien rally at the Washington monuments to my husband, while they put back the barry-cades after vets and patriots moved them. The thug Soetero doesn’t even care how this looks, that is a sign of complete hubris and of being drunk with power. He’s not even faking it-however poorly-anymore. He feels assured enough of his power to spit in the faces of Americans, and do it on worldwide live camera.
That is an excellent and a fantastic idea! In all seriousness, conservative candidates need to scour FR for campaign ad ideas, because I’ve seen some excellent ones this week. I’m sure the owners would be more than glad to let them be used. Our country, and our freedom, are at stake. So is their own power in the House. If they’re not careful, they’re about to be made irrelevant as a legislative body. They’ll just be there to rubber-stamp and collect their paychecks and perks.
“apparently if the system is too busy, you will sometimes be told that your account doesn’t exist even if it does. The key as I discovered last night is to access your account in the middle of the night eastern time.”
Hey KOmmies, what happens when this occurs at your doctor appointment? Is your doctor going to start working in the middle of the night, or will your medical care just not be provided due to a lack of verification?
Idiots.
“We should just have a national ID card that gets issued to all citizens for use with exactly this kind of thing. Then there would be no problem whatsoever. “
Better yet, we could force RFID chip insertion into all citizens! Oh wait....
I imagine 30 or 40 affirmative actione hires sitting around doing absolutely nothing because they know absolutely nothing and were hired simply because of the color of their skin.
Thats why most government agencies don’t work, anyway.
Obama doesn't WANT you to "window shop" because you'll see he was lying about it being more affordable.
In all my days, signing up for insurance is the easy part. the complicated part comes when claims are submitted.
If this easy, fundemental first step of simply signing up is a cluster.... imagine when it comes time to actually go to the doctor.
We would all be millionaires.
Yeah, $1 million set aside for each citizen to pay insurance premiums would have gone a LONG way.
Lesseee... at $10k per year, that’s 100 years.
100 years of premiums for super deluxe health insurance plans for every man, woman, and child in the nation,
for the price of a failed website.
The price of which went to OBAMA CRONIES.
CRONIE SOCIALISM - YOU ON THE LEFT SUPPORT IT.
They spent 634 million on the web site. 310 million Americans = roughly $2.00 per person.
