PPACA Boondoggle

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.

Obie says obamacare can't be stopped even after he's out of office because it's the law of the land. Well, our 2'd rights say shall not be infringed.. and that is law of the land too. But they sure as shit seem to ignore that when they feel like trying to butcher that part of the law of the land.

All depends on how you stop it.

Stopped by just defying the law? Not good.

Stopped by defunding lots of stuff until everyone agrees to stop it, bad.

Stopped by passing a new law to do it through both House and Senate, with signature of president, OK.

If you think 'Obie' asserted that the third can't be done, get me the quote.

Oh I'm just not over the fact that he said it had to be passed before reading what was in it. Thats just bad that anyone would vote to pass a bill before fully understanding what they were going to get ( or better force the people into accepting no matter what's inside ). That would be like someone saying ''send me 10,000.00 and I'll send you a box with something good inside ''. But the person who sends the money shouldn't get upset if they receive a box with only a condom inside. Both are dirty as hell, but ordinary folks would go to jail for shit like that.

Thank-you for the report on your emotional states of satisfaction and amusement.
