they are not going to be able to fix this nightmare in 30 days. they wouldn’t even have time to properly test the fixes in 30 days.

everyone start thinking about what to do come december1. we know it will not be working within 30 days. not possible.

I couldn’t care less. It doesn’t affect me in the least.

They’ll declare it much improved, the press will fall in line. And it’ll be over as a story.

GOP better have a plan of action also. When 30 Nov date hits and ACA website is still screwed up, the Dems will launch into the GOP with both barrels hot. Every dirty trick and scorch earth policy will hit the GOP because at that point the Dems have nothing to lose. It is going to get ugly till 2014 elections. Hope the GOP is united and not killing each other when the Dems launch their desperate counter attack.

They'll simply transfer everyone to Medicaid......as most who are signing up are signing up for that currently....low income people.....single payer coming faster than most realize.

They couldn’t fix this disaster of a law even if they were given 30 years.

I have been working on a real estate expert system off and on for 5 years, some of the foundation code goes back ten years.
For the last two years running I’ve been telling people the code would be operational within 30 days. And I’ve believed it every time.

My code actually does work now, finally. But just verifying the results will take quite a while. My code base is say about 50,000 lines of code (it is hard to count lines in modern code systems, but that’s a good guess). Now multiply my problems times millions of lines of code and it doesn’t matter how many geniuses they throw at Obysmalcare.

The real problem with a system this big is no one person can get their head around everything, especially since it is all a moving target with new code every day and many inherited systems.

I used to work in software testing and support, and one thing I know is you can't fix major architecture problems by patching good code onto bad. It's like trying to build a house on a rotten foundation. Every fix creates new problems.

A thought came to me. The anti-voter fraud laws passed in many states, including my state, NC, are being opposed because of claimed discrimination against the minorities and the poor. Why? Because they require application for free photo ID, which allegedly impacts minorities and the poor more than others.

Doesn’t ACA do the same thing? Who has less access to the internet? Who has less access to transportation to see a navigator?

Just wondering.
