Gets better every day!
Turns out UnitedHealth Group owns QSSI, the company that built the Obamacare data hub, and has now been appointed the GC to fix the problem.

Can you link that article for us?  I'd google but the NSA is watching google.

Wouldn't worry so much about NSA as I would about the weekly endpoint report.  Wink

I've not looked at the articles.  Are they explaining how lobbying should be illegal?

Three years ago, a trusted Obama health care adviser warned the White House it was losing control of Obamacare. A memo obtained by CBS News said strong leadership was missing and the law's successful implementation was in jeopardy. The warnings were specific and dire -- and ignored.

Cronyism with Chicago Machine Politics is always a bad combination.  At least the cronyism in Massachusetts with Mitt's plan was awarded to people who eventually got it right...after rollout issues.

A full 123 people got to sign up in MA's first month....

From a center-right website, but interesting nevertheless. Especially the map at the end of the blog post. Okla. doing okay.

Gee what happened to that story several months back touting how California premiums would be cheaper as some sort of indication this was full of WIN for every state?

According to internal Whitehouse memos just released, Obamacare now has a confirmed 700+ enrollees.
http://news.yahoo.com/obamacare-memos-reveal-chaos-confusion-october-rollout-173502279--abc-news-politics.html

Nothing defeats inept policy better than it's own implementation.

They needed to hit their goal of 500,000 in the first month, with a majority of that being the young and employed to carry the old and unemployed.  Most of the trickle they have received has ended up being medicaid enrollment.

I believe we have just witnessed the largest and most expensive failure in domestic policy ever implemented.



At this point there are only two options available to the President.  He will need to sign an executive order instating the 2015 tax penalty immediately, therefore forcing people to enroll or face significant tax penalties.  OR, he can delay the mandate and expand enrollment through 2015. Both options are bad, and the cost is monumental.

Never challenge "worse".

At 2:00 pm., my son fell of the jungle gym at school and had an obvious elbow fracture. From that moment, through ER admittance (no, not THAT one), x-ray, diagnosis, child pediatric surgeon referral and visit, surgery scheduled at a separate facility, admittance to another facility,surgery with wires, post-op, discharge, and pharmacy fill? 6 hours. Not a damned thing wrong with healthcare today. But by all means let's f#ck with it.

Wait until you see the itemized costs if you were a cash paying customer able to pay without insurance.

Not caring about the cost, caring about the care.
