Why don't you share them with the GOP? They've discontinued their "repeal and replace" mantra with "repeal" in recognition of the fact that they haven't come up with a plan to replace their original idea on how to improve health care in this nation (i.e., Romneycare/HeritageCare/Obamacare).

Too bad these wackjob red states didn't take the money and open their own websites like California has done. Last I looked our website is running fine.

That would be asking them to spring the cash to do their own. They'd rather do it with your money, Bob.

Is there a difference? We already feed, house and clothe more in those red states than just about any other state in the union.

We WILL Californicate you all. Free organic lube for all.

Just let me spend your money Bob. I will even keep records and show you exactly where it went. Will postcards be adequate? Just send cashiers checks.

Who uses cashiers checks these days? Just PM your PayPal addy to me.

If your question is more specific to solutions to the web site issue, that's easy: take the effin' thing down and keep it down until it works, and beta test the crap out of it before it sees the light of day again. Theyve got a team of "Navigators" taking phone enrollments, so best to rely on those folks in the interim to carry the water on the enrollment process until a viable web product is available.

Well, temporary glitches with web enrollment are not a reason to drop everything and take 'another path.' So I don't think that could have been your point.

Apparently it works at least sometimes, so the problems may not require as drastic a solution as you suggest. But you're welcome to pass your suggestion on to the program managers.

Well, I'm sure we should all be satisfied with a product that we all paid over $600,000,000 for, and counting, on a budget of $97,000,000 no less, that "apparently works at least sometimes.".

Sebillius and Dan Rooney, Owner of the Pittsbugh Steelers, hosted an Obamacare educational event yesterdays in Pittsburgh. A "crowd" of barely 100 people showed up, and they couldn't get anyone enrolled on the site due to "glitches". Hillarious.
