Seriously.. this is happening again!? People trying to apply for Monday’s midnight OBAMACARE deadline are being greeted again with the website ‘currently unavailable’ messages.. this is beginning to feel like a big joke—maybe it’s just an April fools prank and the website will announce on the 1st of April, “April Fools, you got until midnight tonight instead!”
Can this get any worse?
I know we are going with the word of a hacker—but I’d take the word of a hacker over other experts..
This may be worse than the website not working.
Sex sells. Even health care. You can sell health care two ways, perhaps. On one hand, you can show young professionals without insurance, struggling to get by, working long hours, trying to make ends meet for their families, and battling to stay healthy—Obamacare comes along and now can aid them in their struggles. Or, on the other hand, you can just remind them that they can have more sex. Apparently that is what Colorado Consumer Health Initiative, along with the ProgressNow Colorado Education, are doing in their ‘thank Obamacare’ campaign.. they decided to go with a new advertising campaign, aimed at 20 somethings, telling them that when you find out your partner has insurance through the affordable health care act, you can bang him/her. A history of inspiring government propaganda now being replaced with sex..
The only catch to all this? Porn sites are typically user friendly. Healthcare.gov is not.. Good luck finding a mate.
NBC news reports this:
President Obama repeatedly assured Americans that after the Affordable Care Act became law, people who liked their health insurance would be able to keep it. But millions of Americans are getting or are about to get cancellation letters for their health insurance under Obamacare, say experts, and the Obama administration has known that for at least three years.
They found two!
Of course it probably took a combined 565 hours to sign up, but they found two!
This is getting beyond comical, more like… really embarrassing.
This is just becoming a mess … So many surprises ..
The report says, in part:
By all accounts, the new policies will offer consumers better coverage, in some cases, for comparable cost — especially after the inclusion of federal subsidies for those who qualify. The law requires policies sold in the individual market to cover 10 “essential” benefits, such as prescription drugs, mental health treatment and maternity care. In addition, insurers cannot reject people with medical problems or charge them higher prices. The policies must also cap consumers’ annual expenses at levels lower than many plans sold before the new rules.
But the cancellation notices, which began arriving in August, have shocked many consumers in light of President Barack Obama’s promise that people could keep their plans if they liked them.
OBAMASHOCK: Healthcare.gov website STOLE copyrighted scripts! And the site STILL does not work!? Shameful.. technologically shameful..
It got to the point today where the President had to have a special address in the Rose Garden the mess—and someone actually passed out during the event! The woman was probably exhausted from trying to create an account on the .GOV website..
What a major goof up this all is..
Whether you agree with the Obama Affordable Care Act or not, one thing appears clear: The rollout of the website was a complete and utter disaster..
Hospitals, a reliable source of employment growth in the recession and its aftermath, are cutting thousands jobs amid falling insurance payments and in-patient visits.
BOOM!
Another great week.
I try to avoid politics on this site. I really do.. but it crops up, rears its multi-faceted head, and takes over the posts here quite a bit..
From the WASHINGTON POST, we learn that Republicans are in fear of the health exchange networks, where people can go and choose insurance under the Affordable Care Act.. the POST says that the websites were crashing because of the amount of people trying to figure out of they qualify for some type of coverage.. (Here’s the source for your reading pleasure) ..
And from the UK DAILY MAIL, we have this: They report that less than 1% of the people actually going to the websites are signing up — maybe because they cannot? I don’t know. (Here is that source)..
I suppose this is going to be hotly debated. Oh, and the government is shut down. In case our lawbreakers of the Republic don’t know.
While we debate on whether people are flocking to these sites and causing high-traffic and outages, consider this fact: The Obama Administration has yet to actually tell us how many people signed up on the exchanges.. And apparently, according to some desperate to find new insurance or insurance at all, the websites are working 'worse' today than yesterdayy..
"No such user exists."
…my God, did they hire Tumblr to do the coding and network structure for the new health care law!?
Other news:
And…
October 1: Obamacare begins..
BUT..
Beware the ides of October!? The next default deadline that everyone is worried about is October 17.. That is an economic date with destiny—the date when markets could be rattled and the United States could default..
…they decided that big thing about military valor and lying.
Oh yea, and health care stands, Chief Justice Roberts sided with Obamacare.. and the rest is history.
The Obamacare high court arguments start..
