Suffice it to say I’m a reasonably intelligent person who’s more computer literate than most low info voters and Mahdi supporters. Nevertheless, I’ve run into bad software that sends me in maddening cyber circles that are vastly less horrible than the cyber circles ObamaCare has created for every person to will try to enroll. Indeed, it looks like an IQ test that can only be passed by somebody with IQ of 130 or above will be administered to a lot of people who are at 100 or less. That’s a recipe for chaos and absolute frustration among Obama voters especially. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch. Let’s hope it produces a massive revolt, like that one that got the original Medicare prescription drug benefit repealed.

An excellent statement posted in the comments in the article:

In Texas the voter photo ID law has been declared by Eric Holder to be discriminatory against minorities because of the burden of acquiring the ID. After reading about the process needed to sign up for insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act , one can only conclude that this Act is especially discriminatory against minorities. The information needed to qualify to vote is insignificant compared to enormous amount of information needed to buy insurance under the Affordable Care Act. Eric Holder needs to look into this.

Furthermore, signing up to vote is a voluntary right; signing up for the Affordable Care Act is mandatory with a penalty if you don't. Since only a small fraction of the information that is needed for the Affordable Care Act is needed for the photo ID, why not just grant the photo ID at the same time?

I’m not bleeding edge so if I was fool enough to enroll in this puke bucket of an entitlement, I would have waited until all the kinks were worked out. If they couldn’t work them all out in the time allotted for enrollment, my name stays out of the database.

If you want to kill Obamacare deader than a doornail, find a plaintiff who has zero income and incurs the penalty.

The penalty is $95 or 1% of income, whichever is greater.

With $0 income, that $95 becomes a direct tax and is therefore unconstitutional. It is no longer an income tax once it hits someone without an income. You can't tax zero!

At the very least the individual mandate will fall then if not the whole thing. Once the mandate falls, the premiums will skyrocket and it truly will be the "UNaffordable Care Act"
