The ObamaBots have to “salt” the stats so they aren’t so puny when they report them. If those millions of young people don’t foolishly sign up, ObamaDon’tCare is toast.

Gubment workers screwed this up during their weekdays. I doubt they work weekends and if they do, it will be especially shoddy work.

With all the problems they’ve had rolling it out, you’d think that the left would be embracing a one year delay...not fighting it.

If their goal is to sign up 7 million in 90 days,,that’s about 34k+ a day,,,not happening or we’d hear it shouted from the rooftops!

We're kind of missing the forest for the trees here.
Focusing on the dysfunctional web site widely misses the point that it is offering a product nobody wants. Another thread shows the sticker shock of Obamacare. People are dumbfounded at the absurdly high costs of the Affordable Care Act; nobody can afford it!

Having the website fail buys the Regime time from the otherwise inevitable insurrection by his supporters. The problem for Obama comes not from the House Republicans but from the unions and other supporters who will be repulsed by this abomination.

I have great sympathy for the programmers and developers of this system. From what I can see they have worked with a continually moving target. I'm sure the target is still from from stable.

I'm also very certain there have been lots of "it is exactly what I asked for, but it is not what I wanted" moments.

The Democrats deserve these results.

i thought all but essential federal employees were furloughed? are these IT folks who will work on this website more essential than the doctors at NIH who would be trying out experimental drug trials on children with cancer if it weren’t for the government shutdown?

And here I almost thought they’d noticed what raging hypocrites they are leaving that site up and deliberately taking many other public-facing sites down.

So, is there some reason the contractor couldn’t have simulated a year ago several million users attempting to use the web site simultaneously?

Look, the people running this show have never launched a website before. Nor have they ever, in their lives, sold an insurance policy.

So, what would you expect?

They've never run a hospital, either. Nor do they know squat about medicine.

But they're going to handle health care for 300 million people. And that's not going to work any better than their website.

Count on it...

If you visit the Obamacare website, you’re almost guaranteed to be a loser. Either you won’t get anywhere, you’ll be offered a policy you can’t afford, or you’ll decline the policy and be fined by the federal government.

They could not make it work with two years, what makes them think they can get it to work over the weekend.
