Obama Admin: Please Don't Use Obamacare Website This Weekend

by Ben Shapiro 27 Nov 2013, 9:20 AM PDT

On Wednesday, the Obama administration leaked to The New York Times that it would be stifling the outreach efforts for Obamacare prior to this weekend, fearful that a “crush of new users” could sink Healthcare.gov entirely. According to “administration officials,” the Times reported, the White House had killed “a big health care marketing campaign planned for December out of concern that it might drive too many people to the still-fragile Healthcare.gov.”

This is a major shift of message from an administration whose allies have encouraged Americans to talk about Obamacare over Thanksgiving turkey. Now, apparently, the White House wants to ensure that it does not receive “too much demand” – hardly the major problem for a program lagging dramatically in enrollees.

Nonetheless, the administration maintains that it has not changed message, and that in fact the website will be improved dramatically over time. Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius stated, “We are definitely on track to have a significantly different user experience by the end of this month. That was our commitment.”

I’m sure nobody will. Except maybe the Chinese and the Palestinians. And the Mexicans. And the kenyans. And...

Don’t worry, I’ve got plenty of things to do, besides waste my time on a website that hasn’t worked yet.

I wouldn’t dare touch it. Probably infect my computer with all sorts of malware, and spy into all my private information. Even if I wasn’t stupid enough to give them all that information when filling out an application.

Gosh I wouldnt think of it

And I also wouldn’t think about downloading some automated testing software [with a free 30 day trial] and letting it hit the site a few hundred thousand times either.

Wait a minute... I thought OFA was telling everybody to sign up their family members during the Thanksgiving visit. They really should coordinate better!

The guy in Russia that runs the Obamacare website and also answers the phones as “Peggy” is taking time off for Thanksgiving.

But Michelle has given us 14 talking points for Thanksgiving dinner, and they include getting people to sign up online! I was planning on putting my laptop right on the table so my relatives and friends can sign up right then!

So on their self determined deadline for it to be “fixed”, and just 30 days out from when the whole country is supposed to have Obama approved health plans, they are asking people to not go to the web site so it won’t crash and then they can claim it’s fixed?

I’m planning on visiting the site frequently (hundreds?, thousands? of times) & spend a lot of time “surfing” around its pages when I’m not doing anything better. Of course I will not be entering any personal data.
