On Sunday, The Wall Street Journal gave its readers a helpful tip on how to avoid being scammed by fake Obamacare sites: avoid websites that actually work:
“Important consumer warning: If an insurance shopping website is usable, it’s not the federal government’s,” the Journal quipped in an unsigned editorial.
HealthCare.gov — the federal destination for Obamacare-compliant healthcare — has been famously horrible since Obamacare officially kicked off on Oct. 1.
The Journal notes that there has been a “profusion of identity thieves and scam-artist pages that are now pretending to be Healthcare.gov and are tricking people into divulging sensitive information or buying fake products.”
TOPICS: Government
KEYWORDS: fail; fake; farce; fraud; obamacare
LOL! FUnnie but TRUE!

I can tell you if a website is unusable...if it has a .gov behind the name. /s?

Semi-serious question here. Is HealthCare.gov supposed to also handle financial transactions; i.e., do you pay an initial premium through the site as well? Or, do these insurance companies bill you separately?

Baraq is missing a huge opportunity.
He could follow up his “lost jobs due to ATMs” by hiring a half million clerks (the 2010 census had 635,000) to process Obamacare apps. Forget the computers, go with telephones and paper!
Employment stats would be great.
The media would be ecstatic over this double win!

Neither Obama nor Sibelius nor anyone in HHS could pour p*ss out of a boot with directions on the back. This disaster is either the end of the Democrat Party -I hope! - or the catalyst for a second revolution (still thinking about that...).
