Obama Tells Americans to Enroll via Phone, Phone Number Crashes
by Ben Shapiro 21 Oct 2013, 9:45 AM PDT post a comment
As Americans become more and more perturbed over the Obamacare exchange website glitches that have crippled the rollout of President Obamas signature program, President Obama took to the podium on Monday and suggested that Americans apply in person or via phone for enrollment in the Obamacare exchanges. Nobody is madder than me about the fact that the website isnt working as well as it should, which means its going to get fixed, Obama said. He then recommended a toll-free phone number to call.
There was only one problem: the Obamcare toll-free phone number was overloaded and immediately crashed. According to Lou Dubois of NBC News, Call centers now appear overloaded due to volume. Please call back. Dubois wasnt the only one reporting the new glitches. Annie Lowrey of The New York Times added, For the record, just called 1-800-318-2596, got a busy signal. Kasie Hunt of NBC News: Just called the number. They said there's too high call volume and call back on the weekend. We're sorry for the inconvenience.

Wow. The level of incompetence is staggering.
How much frustration can one man tolerate? I am worried about Obama getting sick over everyone else’s incompetence, except him and his appointees who didnt know this was going on of course.
Call 1-800-318-2596 and ask lots of questions:
MESSAGE RECEIVED, LOUD AND CLEAR
New Orleans wasn’t flooded by the hurricane. It was flooded when the levy broke afterwards. The city is situated below sea level.
Additionally Gov. Blanco (D-Rat) was caught on tape saying how she didn’t want to call in the National Guard and put people’s lives in danger.
The blame goes on the corrupt Democrat pols in Louisiana, not the Bush Administration.
Other states didn’t have the same mess.
In Louisiana, you had a corrupt Democrat congressman named Jefferson using a national guard escort to check out his ill gotten cash in his fridge while other peoples’ lives were at stake.
Never forget the facts of Katrina.
True. After the hurricane passed, all the pundits were celebrating that New Orleans "dodged the bullet."
CASH-4-CLUNKERS is the number the Obamacare programmers called to apply for the job in the first place. They got the cash and Barry got the clunker.
And some of us are still in limbo. My only info from Blue Cross Blue Shield so far is that changes are coming and I should be able to pick a suitable replacement plan.
I'm trying to stay optimistic but expecting the worst.
That works too. ;>)
The ObamaCare roll out has been a disaster that is going to jeopardize peoples lives and the media is giving Obama a pass
Here's one of them!
Jon Stewart is already onboard saying that it doesn’t go FAR ENOUGH, that it needs to be single-payer.
That will be the drumbeat, that “reform” means total control.
Exactly...The whole point of this charade is to show that Single Payer is the only thing that will work.
lol
people are actually enrolling? who?
I mean welfare people already get free healthcare for themselves and their kids, same with old people. most people who work full time have their own plan.
really this was nothing but a power grab because most people are satisfied with and have healthcare already.
That’s true, but this bill was jiggered to give subsidies to middle class people who already had health care plans and had no trouble paying for them. Almost all the anecdotal reports of people signing up are people who already had health insurance and are now getting a discount on the taxpayer’s dime. It puts more people on the dole to create more Democrat voters who will vote to keep their benny checks coming in the mail. It’s a vote-buying scheme at its most basic level.
I lol’ed ... how many people here know what that number is?
I still hear Moss singing it, and I admit I have used it as a password here and there :)
It’s my ring tone.
