If you've been reading all the Obamacare stories lately, you might get the impression that the administration has just realized it will not be able to implement the massive health reform as designed.

It has known for months.

As far back as March, a top IT official at the Department of Health and Human Services said the department's current ambition for the law's new online insurance marketplaces was that they not be "a Third-World experience." Several provisions had already been abandoned in an effort to simplify the administration's task and maximize the chances that the new systems would be ready to go live in October, when customers are supposed to start signing up for insurance.

Well, they had to pass it first before they could find out that it’s a big unconstitutional mess (no matter what Roberts says). Just like they’re doing with immigration (only they know, in this case, what their real goal is, they’re just trying to distract us from seeing it).

What...?

Four months trumps the fact that no intelligent person ever believed it would work (even allowing that were were given lies and misinformation about it, from the start!)???

The implication of your post is that Max Baccus knew that they knew.

Max also knew that the vacillation and indecision and closeted hand wringing was not helping to solve the problem

Barack Obama has never made a meaningful decision in his life. As an executive he is totally incpompetent

Then their goal is different than what they are saying it is.
Simple logic.

The White House places a middleman into the free market patient/doctor equation --- and one with a proven track record for costly inefficiency as we ALWAYS experience with the federal government --- and it comes as a surprise to them that it won't work.

Mr. Fifty-Seven-States-Stupid may just be dumber than we previously thought.

Train wreck.

It was always intended as such. It was never intended to actually work. There is only one goal, and 0bamacare is merely a means to an end. They need to destroy the US healthcare system so that they can rebuild it "better." 0-care is a train wreck because they need to wreck the train that is the best healthcare system in the world.

Obamacare was never meant to work.
Obamacare is supposed to precipitate a crisis that can “ONLY” be “fixed” by implementing single-payer (socialized) health-care.
I bet the bill is already written.

Latest is they don’t care.

Even if it runs like an out-of-tune ‘65 Dodge with a bad head gasket, they just want something....ANYTHING up and running so that leeches can sign-up and begin collecting subsidies.

And once they are collecting subsidies, it will become unrepealable.

It is WORKING to Obama’s specifications. That is: Drive the whole nation onto single payer health care and give the government more control over your life. Its going that way. Believe it.
