New 'deadline' for fixing Obamacare glitches seen in mid-November
7:44pm EDT

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. administration has a little over a month to fix the technology problems crippling its online health insurance marketplace, or jeopardize the goal of signing up millions of Americans in time for benefits under President Barack Obama's healthcare law, experts said on Thursday.
Problems with the federal marketplace's entry portal serving 36 states, the website Healthcare.gov, continued for a 10th day on Thursday despite signs of gradual improvement, keeping a brake on the ability of consumers to shop for federally subsidized health coverage.
Poor turnout in enrollment would provide further ammunition for Republican foes of Obamacare, whose efforts to kill the law have culminated in a federal government shutdown that began on October 1, coinciding with the launch of the health insurance exchanges nationwide.
Already on Thursday, Republican lawmakers in Congress launched a new investigation into the technical glitches, sending letters to U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and two of the website's contractors, asking for details on what is causing the failures and any system changes or testing that had been performed.

How can you fix a website which is supposed to implement a totally unworkable law which is crazier than anything Lewis Carroll ever thought of? “The Walrus and The Carpenter” is perfectly logical and understandable by comparison. If ten thousand computer scientists with ten thousand assistants work for a thousand years on the website the real problem will remain unsolved. As we used to say in Dixie, “You can’t make chicken salad out of chicken shiite”.
It’s likely a flawed architectural design. They’ll either have to start over or spend a decade straightening it out.
Ask anyone who has ever dealt with GCSS-A.
I’d bet he can’t even use Word.
LLS
I don’t know one thing about hacking but all reports indicate that the greatest hacker on Earth could not make this any worse, he could only improve it by accident. It reminds me of someone whose town was on the fringes of Hurricane Hugo, when I asked him what the effects were he said, “Oh, I estimate that Hugo did about ten thousand dollars worth of IMPROVEMENTS here.”
"We fixed the glitch."
Absolute perfection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obamacare will fail because it was DESIGNED to fail.

I can only assume you are referring to the website, I am speaking of the absurd law the website is supposed to implement, the finest architecture in the world won’t fix that absurd law.

LOL, Thanks.
You think Obama lied to the Insurance Industry as to the level participation?
Is there anyone to whom he has told the truth about anything?
When you’re a moron and hire morons around you, this is what happens.
