CBS reveals: Contrary to chief’s testimony, CMS knew ObamaCare website had major problems
Hot Air ^ | October 31,2013 | ALLAHPUNDIT

How did CMS know? Simple: The employees there tested the site themselves and ended up in the same circle of 404 hell that the rest of the country landed in on October 1. And so, yet again, we return to the great unanswered question of the past month. How much of this was epic incompetence by HHS and how much of it was bad faith? When Marilyn Tavenner claimed she didn’t expect a meltdown on day one, was that a shameless lie or proof that HHS is so dysfunctional that her deputies withheld the results of the testing from her? If the latter, how many people are getting fired for this?

The latest “glitch,” by the way, isn’t so much a flaw in the website as it is a flaw in record-keeping by insurance companies that’s being made worse by the federal and state ObamaCare sites. Which doctors are included in the network for your new exchange-bought health coverage? It’s … not always clear:

Many new health exchanges don’t yet let shoppers see which doctors accept which insurance plans. Where exchanges do post the so-called provider lists, they often contain inaccurate or misleading information, some doctors say, including wrong specialties, addresses and language skills, and no indication whether providers are accepting new patients…

The new health exchanges are supposed to offer a transparent shopping experience, including clear information on participating doctors. But in addition to providing wrong information, the lists may give consumers a false impression of how big the networks are, some physicians say. Several exchanges warn shoppers to ask doctors directly if they accept the new plans.

............................................................

At this time there is but two ways to solve it.

Let Insurance Companies sell insurance to those people willing to buy it so that Doctors who refuse to accept Obamacare have a separate health care from the Single Payer government, Obamacare-Medicare single payer.

The problem is we would end up paying for two separate Health Care programs as Obamacare Medicare would be unsustainable.

Personally ,if I can find one I will gladly pay a Doctor for each visit, and use the Obamacare Health Clinic only when necessary for a hospital visit.

You know, I haven’t heard any reporters squawking about their own personal experience in losing their policies due to ObamaCare...

Did journalists get a special exemption?

The cluster-f**k will continue so long as third parties are involved.
Can you imagine having a government agency supply your groceries ?

I’d assume most “big name” journos are on employer furnished health policies.
