Nan Pelousey : "You gotta pass it to find out what's in it "

You gotta marry someone before you can meet or have a first date.

You gotta buy the house before you can inspect it.

What could go wrong?

“The issue is Obamacare not websites.”

That Amazon or Apple could have produced an ObamaCare app in a few months underscores your point. It isn’t about software — it’s about control, excessive complexity, politics, redistribution of income, and executive incompetence.

Exposure of Obama’s inability to manage this should raise the question: Can you trust your healthcare to a government that can’t produce a working website in 3 YEARS? In 3 years, the Manhattan Project went from wild idea to working Atomic Bomb. To be fair, I must admit that Obama has produced a bomb, albeit a dud.

From comments: "certain groups are hacking or sabotaging the system." Right. It's not that it is a piece of crap. Right-wingers are hacking it! Must have lousy security since Right-wingers are Neanderthals. Go ahead, enter all your personal info.

I am wondering if they sent this to Canada because they have national health care there. If developed here, there is a 50+ %. chance the developer would be against Obamacare and WOULD sabotage it. Or, since the Canadian firm created the single payer system, they are coding for single payer under the covers. It must be a nightmare with all of the interfaces, probably to ancient, kludgy mainframe systems.

Biggest scam in American history.

Thats all there is to it.

The people who developed this online garbage will get paid, and then they will go bankrupt... just like Solyndra.

Just a big FLUSH fund for Obama’s cronies.

And as long as there remains NO VIABLE OPTIONS to select in the system, the online mechanisms to select them will remain broken.

But your identity will have still been stolen.

I was told you have to purchase a plan to find out what it covers.

Could it be that the problem is that the site is powered by windmills?

Contrary to MSM and other reports, HealthCare.gov is a resounding success!

Sure, I’ve tried to log on and get information about fifty times over ten days without any success. By any reasonable criterion, that would define failure. But, HealthCare.gov is a government program, so reasonable criteria are not relevant in determining whether it is a success or failure.

ObamaCare was designed to fail, and usher in single payer or socialized medicine. HealthCare.gov’s apparent failure is a major milestone toward achieving ObamaCare’s objectives! In other words, its failure as a website is a major ObamaCare SUCCESS!

Well, it is a fact that you have provide SSN, personal information, and income information. Then you have electronically sign on a web page that makes no indication of what you’re agreeing to, consenting to, or attesting to before HealthCare.gov will supply any relevant information about the plans.

In the fifty times I’ve attempted, HealthCare.gov has crashed before I could get to any useful information, usually well before the signature page.

Question to anybody who may know: Does the site anywhere explicitly state what the electronic signature signifies? I like to read, or least scan, what I’m agreeing to before I sign anything. For all I know there’s fine print that could say anything, and I certainly don’t want to give a blank check to a liar like Kathleen Sebelius.

“glitch”????

This is a TOTALY FAILED DESIGN FROM CONCEPTION!!!

The REQUIREMENTS WERE NEVER DEFINED.

Because the internal inconsistencies of the law were never resolved, it was never possible to develop a compatible set of requirements.

Thus, NO DESIGN SOLUTION WAS POSSIBLE!!!

Nonsense. If the children just believe enough, Tinkerbell won't die...

$634 million. They could have insured the uninsured for that and called it a day.

If Obamacare hasn’t been funded, where did the money come from for the website?

Thanks.

That’s precisely what I mean by “scan”. When scanning a contract, I review it with care to detect some objectionable feature.

I’d like to do that before providing HealthCare.gov with an electronic signature.

Ironfocus :" If Obamacare hasn’t been funded, where did the money come from for the website? "

It may have come from the Federal looting of Medicare - Medicaid treasury.
Honestly , I don't know for sure
Ever notice that the Federal budget nor Federal Reserve ever gets audited,.. except for contract compliance ?

That will happen as a direct result of not enough people signing up.

44 million?

Looks like a lot more than that to me?

A June report by the Government Accountability Office found that CMS had already committed to spend $394 million on the system.

Correct. It was your use of it “read or at least scan” that indicated to me that ‘scan’ meant NOT to review with care.
