Computer experts say the problems with the site are not because of heavy traffic but are the result of structural flaws in system architecture. It is going to take months to rebuild it. That raises a question: If the federal government can’t manage a simple Web site, how on earth is it going to manage the health care of millions of Americans?

Good question.

The nattering nabobs in DC can continue to tweet that the GOP is “imploding.”

I prefer to see it as an example of creative destruction. The GOP, as currently constituted as the “me too” party, has outlived its usefulness. The party will either be reborn, or it will be replaced by something else.

Obamacare is imploding. But thanks to the government shutdown, everyone is talking about the implosion of the GOP instead.

Give it another week or so, Marc.

Then these two seemingly separate subjects will become the same in the public's eye, as more and more people realize, "Obamacare is horrible...looks like the republicans are fighting for me"

What a great article! Thiessen really nails it. And in the Washington Post no less.

Thanks for posting it.

The computer problems are a sideshow and possibly a welcome relief to the administration (which they’d never admit).

The debate needs to be always over whether toe Obamacar law a good thing. Software to help with it’s implementation is not important. Some of it doesn’t work now and that’s gotten a lot of attention. That problem will never be a basis for eliminating or reforming Obamacare.

Throughout this shutdown, Obamacare debacle, it’s been obvious that Obamacare will fail without any help from the GOP. The law and the people charged with implementing and enforcing it are as incompetent as the website.

computer garbage in, computer garbage out. And remember the garbage men are unionized.

I don't understand this writer's point - refusing to fund Obamacare was the catalyst for the shutdown, which he says is the reason no one is paying attention to the collapse of Obamacare.

The possibility of refusing funding provides people one last hope for an alternative to the sense of inevitability of an entitlement that has been passed by congress and survived challenge in the supreme court. Its fueling opposition.

If this writer thinks there's a chance Obama and his nanny state will recognize that their healthcare law isn't working and chuck it all he must be smoking too much dried RINO dung.

(Article) But thanks to the government shutdown, everyone is talking about the implosion of the GOP instead.

First lie. It's thanks to the lie-scribblers at the Washington Post and their complicit JournoList co-liars that strings, chains, lemming-hordes of liberal talking heads can come on Gwen Ifill, Judy Woodruff, and Charlie Rose's shows and decant their venom.

Liberal journos used to "lean left". They hardly bother with leaning any more -- they just lie, endlessly and without consequences to themselves.

Yes, and I’m so excited to punch my SS# into that train wreck.

The solution will be for the government to throw more money at it.

” the result of structural flaws in system architecture. It is going to take months to rebuild it.”

I have been saying similar things in other posts.

1. They can’t fix it in a couple months. The faster they try to fix it, the worse it will become.

2. When something has a flawed structural architecture, you don’t fix it! You TEAR IT DOWN!

3. In this case don’t rebuild it, just go back to the processes in place before. If they cry “single payer” the answer is that they cannot possibly make it work! Can’t make Obamacare work, cannot make single payer work.

4. This techno-disaster is an embarrassment to the United States all around the world.

5. This intro to Obamacare is a great disservice to the citizens it is supposed to serve. How can Obama and HHS sit there and tell people they have to go through this convoluted mess? wasting how many hours of the time of real people, and putting their private data on the line?

6. The shut down and Obamacare are inherently linked.
The Obamacare “gateway” or “portal” is in relationship to the Barrycades. Tear down these Barrycades! Tear down this Gateway to nowhere!!

7. There has to be an Inspector General or Judge who can shut down the “gateway” to Obamacare as it is not working.

You get the picture.

BS! This is probably how Obama Administration is unlawfully delaying Obamacare until after 2014 elections.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

This is hard to understand, since government usually operates flawlessly.

[TBall]

I did not read all the posts, but I’m wondering if they put out the shitty web site to get people to bite. Lets forget about the shut down and focus on how shitty the ACA is. The shut down is over and all the sudden the website is up and running and secure. just wondering.

Question: why did we let this happen to our country?

Why did we let the Democrats destroy health care?

Patriots and heroes fought to defend our freedoms and we let these clowns take over?
