It's a batting average that won't land the federal marketplace for Obamacare into the Healthcare Hall of Fame.
As few as 1 in 100 applications on the federal exchange contains enough information to enroll the applicant in a plan, several insurance industry sources told CNBC on Friday. Some of the problems involve how the exchange's software collects and verifies an applicant's data.
"It is extraordinary that these systems weren't ready," said Sumit Nijhawan, CEO of Infogix, which handles data integrity issues for major insurers including WellPoint and Cigna, as well as multiple Blue Cross Blue Shield affiliates.
Experts said that if Healthcare.gov's success rate doesn't improve within the next month or so, federal officials could face a situation in January in which relatively large numbers of people believe they have coverage starting that month, but whose enrollment applications are have not been processed.
"It could be public relations nightmare," said Nijhawan. Insurers have told his company that just "1 in 100" enrollment applicants being sent from the federal marketplace have provided sufficient, verified information.
The people handling your Obamacare enrollments are Acorn nuts and the Occutards come in off the streets. They work about as well as Obamacare is going to work. This is nothing compared to how bad it is going to get. Obama thought it was going to be like rabble-rousing.
“It could be public relations nightmare,”
Could be? The stupid ones are even figuring out this is incompetence on parade.
We are probably 10 years from having a computer powerful to process this piece of crap legislation. Instead of scraping the tax system they used it for the model for the ACA.
The real one! I love it!
“I think just about everybody handling this thing secretly loathed it. “
I suspect there’s some significant truth in that. Starting with the torture of dealing with a bunch of stuff thrown-together by a variety of entities without oversight over the program as a whole, even in design, passed without real discussion on what was in it, much less apparently a full reading even by the staffs...and then hiding the development of the regulations being written from view so as to not expose them to political liability...then a refusal to send the regulations to the states who were charged with implementing much of it, without FOIA lawsuits...and fundamentally incompetent design for the software architecture...
....yeah, even true believers are likely to run out of energy sweating the details.
Well I think it’s hit its IT Waterloo.
After the first glorious week of the should-have-been affordable healthcare act signup,
our incredibly valuable nazi-insurance departments have proclaimed a magnificent success rate of 1 %.
Going by regular government standards and protocols,
we are required to round that figure down to Zero.
As in Emperor Zero. Or Mr. Empty Chair Zero.
His face is going to be in the dictionary under the definition. Well, "rabble rouser" and "doofus."
Silicon shrugged! Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh! It is a bright day!
Well, I get a strong sense that in this purposeful creation (whether or not most of us can notice the purposes) God actually did work (root word of wrought) something significant in 1844 with the first long distance electromagnetic telegraph that carried those words. I wrote a poem about it a few weeks back.
What hath God wrought?
This question was sought
From the old Supreme Court
To Baltimore depot by the port;
In eighteen forty-four
The Lord opened up the door
To sharing His word
By wire as far as could be heard.
What hath God wrought?
Those who by His blood were bought
Proclaim the answer far and wide
By every means o’er hill and tide;
Whether by air or Internet
Or mouth to mouth, “God canceled our debt
So that our souls forever are free —
Give everyone this wondrous key!”
What hath God wrought?
The awe of God that once we taught
Has fallen on the ground;
Scarcely more is heard its sound —
God grieves from heaven so,
He wants His people again to know
What mighty words and deeds
Grow from faith like mustard seeds.
What hath God wrought?
Those who by His blood were bought
Proclaim the answer far and wide
By every means o’er hill and tide;
Whether by air or Internet
Or mouth to mouth, “God canceled our debt
So that our souls forever are free —
Give everyone this wondrous key!”
What hath God wrought?
O let His Spirit again be caught
By the hearts of yearning men
Who would see glory once again;
O let a boldness like a lion
Again be seen in Abraham’s scion
And all adopted in his faith
Speak up again before it’s too late.
What hath God wrought?
Those who by His blood were bought
Proclaim the answer far and wide
By every means o’er hill and tide;
Whether by air or Internet
Or mouth to mouth, “God canceled our debt
So that our souls forever are free —
Give everyone this wondrous key!”
Just to be clear, I CAN do the 99% fail = 1% success conversion.
:P
Is that Abba?
After refreshing, I can see the picture in proper dimensions. When it first posted it was displayed about 4-5 pages long.
Yes, circa 1974. I fell for the blonde. I didn’t realize the other one was so pretty.

Thanks St_Thomas_Aquinas.
Wow that is something...everyone is ticked off but for a few hyperpartisan Obama / Democrat supporters coming on there calling them “liars”, etc. with no substantive rebuttals.
Those are the lucky ones!!!!
My team could have developed and deployed this in a little over a year. It’s not exactly rocket surgery.
