The Foundry ^ | 9/20/13 | Chris Jacobs

The Wall Street Journal reports today on the latest “Obamacare” glitch to emerge—this one striking at the heart of the law’s coverage expansions: Less than two weeks before the launch of insurance marketplaces created by the federal health overhaul, the government’s software can’t reliably determine how much people need to pay for coverage, according to insurance executives and people familiar with the program….

Less than two weeks before the exchanges “go live,” officials at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) are months behind schedule and scrambling to “fix” the software that will run exchanges in 36 separate states. In other words, 11 days before the October 1 launch date, HHS still doesn’t know if the exchanges will work—if individuals will be able to see how much their insurance options will cost them.

To Obama’s voters, it will be “free”, like those ObamaPhones that have been so popular that most recipients have three or four. What could possibly go wrong?

I guess the “health care navigators” and those people at the exchanges can’t do math? Where did they get these people from, McDonalds? They need a software program and little hamburger and fries buttons to push I guess and Lord forbid that you pull out some loose change after they ring you up. Mkaes one real confident that these government wieners will be any more likely to give you the right answer then your typical IRS information desk employee. Call one and get an answer, call another and get a different answer.

The “navigators” are basically intended to register Democrat voters. Other functions are optional.

If as expected the real purpose of all this nonsense is “Single Payer” then the Administration is perfectly happy with the whole Obamacare BS imploding.

HHS still doesn't know if our exchanges will work - if individuals will be able to see how much their insurance options will cost them.

Is cost important to people shopping for insurance?

Inquiring minds want to know.

If Obama’s people at HHS can’t get their ducks in a row in readiness for the implementation of Obamacare, how can we even hope that they will ‘get their ducks in a row’ in smoothly operating the Obamacare system in assuming responsibility for the American people’s health? Not.
