Pro Publica: Why, this new and improved ObamaCare website seems barely improved at all
Hot Air ^ | December 2, 2013 | ALLAHPUNDIT

Tick tock.

After a glowing news conference yesterday citing “night and day” progress on HealthCare.gov, I decided to log in this morning and take the Web site for a test drive, as I’m sure many others are doing. Early reports had been promising. What I found was hardly encouraging — long delays loading pages, an endless circle of tasks (some already completed) and ultimately an error message.

The load-time issues (sometimes more than a minute) reminded me of the problems users encountered in the very first days of the Web site, which handles health insurance enrollment for residents of 36 states. It also appears to contradict what Health and Human Services officials said had been fixed…

Additionally, once I had completed and submitted my application and verified my identity, the site told me that I was missing information and had to review it again. Nothing was missing. Ultimately, I got an error message telling me to come back later.

The “834 error rate” refers to the application info transmitted on the back end of Healthcare.gov to insurers. Kliff wants to know how frequently that info is garbled or incomplete. No answer.

They changed the picture, did you see that? That’s an improvement!

Correction: It’s the ONLY improvement.

From what I can tell from here, the dumb website works perfectly.

The spousal unit has been attempting to fill out the form for the last 3 hours. Freeze ups, spinning clocks, time outs... and WA state (where we live) is supposed to have one of the working sites?????

Conservatives need to go on a massive campaign encouraging folks not to log in or sign up.

lol....wait until your spouse gets done and you get a message that your application was incomplete. Then it forces you to go through every question all over again. You don't need to answer them all as most are still filled out. However, a couple of your answers disappear and you are forced to traverse through every dependent and every step all over again before resubmitting (only to result in yet another incomplete application).

I suspect that the HHS and 0bama just fed the media the “it’s all fixed” line to carry for now, and that is what is being done. It would not have mattered if it was not improved AT ALL from the 10/1 rollout, the media would take 0bama at his word and announce, with great celebration and excitement, that it now works.

The website reflects the ignorance, irresponsibility and incompetence of the Obama Administration, the folly of cronyism, and inexperience of the oaf hiring the cronies who represent his political masterpiece, which is really a bureaucratic icon of convoluted, inefficient, dysfunctional big government.

A smart man would have thought of something simpler, better, and more agreeable to the American people, and he would have appointed smart men to make sure it worked from the get go, but Obama isn’t a smart man, or even an able stupid man. He is a fraud, a screw up, a failure and twerp who snaps at his own fart bubbles because he thinks they are special. He is exactly the kind of man who imagines himself capable of knowing what is best for every American living in all “fifty-seven” states, and exactly the kind of man who thinks he alone should control the big government that controls everyone.

Control is an illusion. Too bad Obama isn’t.

The obama drones will just “declare victory and go home” - with the complete support of the MSM.

On Cavuto, a guy was basically saying that rather than lock up due to overloading, the site puts you into a queue page where you wait until they can process.

Instead of locking you out of the DMV, they have a lot of hard benches to sit on.

"IT'Z FICKSED!", you Hating Hater. And Raciss for questioning the Pet Project of Our Dear Leader.

ObamaTASS has spoken.

Oh, well - off I go to Russia Today and The UK Daily Mail to find out the REAL news in the United States...

What's this? NSA employees received talking points for Thanksgiving dinner - http://rt.com/usa/nsa-thanksgiving-talking-points-617/

Obamacare site still needs to fix 200 bugs - http://rt.com/usa/obamacare-site-healthcare-deadline-604/

Unpossible, and Double Unpossible. These weren't in USObamaToday or The New ObamaTalkingPoints York Times...

Plus, The Washington ObamaPost told us that the chocorat went up to 25 grams a week, from 30 grams a week last year.

The Russians must be Raciss Hating Haters, too!

Just email all your personal information to the Russian mob, and Nigerian Internet scammers. Plus your bank routing numbers.

It'll save you time and bother.

Why? The site is not secure. I've been telling anyone I talk to that they might as well email their personal information to hackers if they expose ANYTHING on the government healthcare website.

No security ever built into Obamacare site: Hacker

http://www.cnbc.com/id/101225308

Don't give out your personal information on that website. For a year, or more, or until they can GUARANTEE they "ficksed" the security. I'm a computer guy, and I REFUSE to go on that website.
