With a deadline looming, Hill staffers face their own health enrollment snags

Capitol Hill staffers are hitting multiple obstacles in trying to enroll in the Obamacare exchange just days before the federal government’s deadline for getting coverage.

They and lawmakers have until Monday to sign up on DC Health Link, the District’s insurance exchange, if they want to maintain the government’s generous employer contribution to their health insurance.

But as crunch time approaches, Democratic and Republican staffers are getting error messages, denials, notices that they’re enrolled in multiple plans and incomplete confirmation — as well as a website that went down briefly Thursday.

Officials at DC Health Link say that they are working quickly to fix each problem. But the snags are causing a lot of frustration and grief.

“Anyone else not able to log in or use [the site]?” Jessica Vanden Berg, chief of staff to Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii), wrote late Thursday to other Democratic chiefs of staff in an email obtained by POLITICO. “No one in my office can today.”

In response to the continued issues, the House chief administrative officer asked the Office of Personnel Management to immediately ensure that members and staff can enroll and get a proper confirmation notice....

I posted on another thread earlier that the Tax Preparers will soon hang another sign for Obamacare sign up assistance. One of them just has to be H&R Blockhead.

I hope none of them can get coverage and their families can’t either.

Well, that’s a crying shame “Jessica Vanden Berg, chief of staff to Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii)”.

Take it up with your nitwit boss who voted for this abomination.

“Capitol Hill staffers are hitting multiple obstacles in trying to enroll in the Obamacare exchange just days before the federal government’s deadline for getting coverage.”

It should be interesting watching capital hill staff meet other numbers like the 2ndMarDiv and the 101st Airborne veterans as these fascists try to force Americans to enroll in Buckwheat care at the point of a gun. The capital hill staff gets to bear glocks and 1.2 billion rounds of cop-killer bullets against 10 to 20 million riflemen with 50 billion rounds of ammo. They’re about to learn the hard way why armies carry rifles and not handguns.

It must be especially frustrating for the Libercrats after seeing their ads suggesting the sexual smorgasborg that will rival muslim paradise following implementation of Obamacare.

Have you seen one with the leering young tart in tight jeans holding birth control while she presses her body against a smirking stud muffin?

Is this Act a cock-up job or what? It’s like Rolling Stone magazine. They can’t give it away, heh.

WHERE DID THE OBAMACARE WEBSITE DOUGH GO?????

Hannity recently had two PROFESSIONAL web site developers on his TV show. He asked them both how much they might have charged to construct a secure web site that functioned as necessary from the git go: Their TOP figure was around $10 million!!

That's much more than one well respected US IT firm offered to do the project for: THEY'D HAVE DONE IT FOR FREE!!

Compare those to the estimated $1 BILLION this SOB has shuttled to his cronies for this turkey and I think even the most devoted obozo worshiper can grasp the magnitude of the CORRUPTION in this on-going CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE!!! (Well that's almost certainly an overstatement...)

WHERE THE HELL IS CONGRESS IN ALL OF THIS?

ANSWER: On their computers checking their numbered Swiss accounts to be certain the proper amount was deposited!!!!

IF THIS DOESN'T P.I.S.S. Y.O.U. O.F.F. you aren't paying attention and you're certainly too stupid to vote.

We need an angry electoral tsunami to sweep the parasites on the Potomac OUT of Malfunction Junction in the next cycles!! Anything short of that and we're TOAST!!
