Obamacare has apparently been cured.
After the registration process was addled with technical glitches in 2013, the second enrollment period under President Obamas health-care law launched on Saturday with few hiccups.
Officials phased in the operation by allowing people to scout out potential 2015 plans the week before the launch, and have targeted uninsured people in nail salons, pizzerias and laundermats.

ANSWER: "We had problems with the website"
Make no mistake, these website glitches are orchestrated to provide the administration cover in explaining away low sign-up rates.
Who gives an F.
I’ve seen my 6 year old’s insurance double in cost and my wife had hers go up over 320% before the big increase this year.
Meanwhile all the takers are refusing to work and getting substantial benefits and free insurance that everyone else pays for.
Not pleased!
A free market you’re allowed to enroll in now for only three months.
When the enrollment period closes and you decide you need to buy health insurance - what can you do?
Obama and the insurance companies will tell you, tough luck - you’ll have to wait until next year.
So much for freedom of choice under Obamacare.
of course it is just another wealth and health redistribution scheme

As Obama call it paying your fair share he’s going to pay for the lies.
They had to abolish the free market because if you could sign up year-round, you could wait until you get sick, get insurance because you can no longer be disqualified for a pre-existing condition. And there would be no incentive for healthy people to sign up.
So artificial scarcity is an inherent design of Obamacare, to keep sick people from gaming the marketplace.
It’s sign-up time for people who have developed pre-existing conditions since last year.
The website didn’t get that early on the first time around, until the mASSES started piling on toward the deadline. But, no matter how well the website behaves, the law itself is still CRAR!

Washington state health exchange shuts down

SEATTLE (AP) Washington’s health care exchange shut down after the first few hours of open enrollment Saturday as state officials and software engineers tried to resolve a problem with tax credit calculations.
Officials at the exchange said Washington Healthplanfinder, which opened at 8 a.m., appeared to be working fine at first. When the exchange’s quality control system reported the problem, they decided to shut the whole system down at about 10:30 a.m. to fix it.
The tax credits were off by just a few dollars in some cases, exchange CEO Richard Onizuka said. He said the system would remain down until it can give consumers who want to buy health insurance accurate information.
On Saturday afternoon, officials estimated the site wouldn’t reopen until Sunday morning, but the actual timing will depend on how soon a software fix can be tested for potential side-effects.

Gov’t slashes 2015 Obamacare sign-up forecast by 30%
http://www.cnbc.com/id/102169534#.
(excerpt)
Federal officials on Monday sought to lower expectations for upcoming enrollment in Obamacare, announcing that they now believe that only between 9 million and 9.9 million people will be enrolled in Affordable Care Act health insurance plans by the end of 2015.
That is well below the 13 million people that the Congressional Budget Office has projected for Obamacare enrollment by the end of 2015. Open enrollment for 2015 plans resumes Saturday.
The new projection, as much as 30 percent reduced from the CBO estimate, comes from the Health and Human Services Department, which oversees the Obamacare health reform program.
why is there only an “open enrollment period”??? don’t people need insurance the rest of the year?
You dont have an “open enrollment period” for car insurance, or homeowner insurance, or life insurance”
What to they do the remaining 9 months of the year?

First-day glitch shuts states health-insurance exchange
The Seattle Times ^ | November 16, 2014 | By Lisa Stiffler and Patrick Marshall
Obama lied....
websites died
Just send all your personal information to Russian hackers.
Hiccups and glitches. That’s what the daily news calls massive screwups. The daily news is a rag, written at the level of a 10 year old Rhesus monkey.
Da Komrade, the collective must act as one for glorious achievement. Why do you resist the all-father?!?
