That one guy who successfully signed up for Obamacare...

And the head of the Alaskan ACA branch admitted no one has signed up for their plans either. They didn't specify why.

Errors still bug Obamacare website

Two weeks into the program, CNN senior medical correspondent Elizabeth Cohen still can't sign up for health insurance using the Affordable Care Act exchange at Healthcare.gov.

Alaska: We can’t confirm one ObamaCare enrollee yet

Published: October 14, 2013

UNEAU, ALASKA — No one from Alaska has enrolled in the new health care exchange, and a U.S. senator wants weekly updates on future enrollments.

Glitches have been reported since the exchanges went live Oct. 1. Exchanges are online marketplaces where individuals can browse for insurance, to be in compliance with the federal health care law. Alaska let the federal government set up an exchange for the state.

In a letter Monday to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, said no one in Alaska has been able to sign up.

"This system that cost more than $400 million, took three years to build, and was billed as a one-stop shop for individuals seeking health insurance is not working as advertised," Murkowski wrote. "In its first two weeks of operation, I am told that no one was able to enroll in the Alaska Exchange."

Fred... it would behoove you to supply links to your comments. It helps keep you from sounding like you're pulling this stuff out of your tailpipe.

They don't read the links I have noticed or even comment on them. They just throw out insults.
Brilliant debate strategy...for a four year old.

How many times here have other posters requested links for your claims? Yes people will read them, yes people care where your information comes from, the insults, if that is what they are, are for your arrogance in thinking that you don't need to provide links, that it is up to everyone else to do the research because you can't be bothered.

Thank you Walter, for providing the link for Fred, and yes, I did read the link. As a programmer, then systems engineer for over 30 years, specializing in data base design and maintenance, I appreciate the pitfalls inherent in setting up a system like the ACA live, online. No amount of testing will approximate the real world demand, nor will it catch all the software glitches. That being said, the ACA, seems to have more issues than it should. Apparently the systems set up by the states are running more smoothly, kudos to those states for doing it themselves

Maybe America needed to hire someone to roll out ACA with the experience from running a similar program?
Like Mitt Romney!
Instead they chose for President a man with no experience handling something as complex as this.

There wouldn't have been these problems if the site had the option for anonymous users. Why is it so important for the gov't to know who is just shopping prices and coverage? What are these people afraid will happen if they don't know who is looking?

Because the government decided that they wanted to have a record of everyone interested BEFORE they got a chance to see the actual plan, terms and prices.

You cannot have a future single payer system without having as many demographics (programming term for end user information) as you can collect now.

Of course currently it appears that very few people (statistically) have been even able to get pass the application process to see any of the multiple plans the insurers have to offer.

Example - as far as Alaska knows not one single person in the state has been able to even register (see my link to that story up thread).

I didn't post the link for Fred. If I had, I would have quoted him.

Have you ever worked as a programmer or systems engineer for the Federal government?

FYI....after two weeks CH7 reports this afternoon approximately 10,000 citizens in CO made inquiries for Sheepcare......and 216 actually signed up. Recall only 15% of the population are eligible and the youngsters will pay for the older Boomers that will need massive care........if the kids do not sign up they can be imprisoned in the last analysis under IRS rules (not the Sheepcare law).

Bet also the Sheeplets do not realize when the get a drivers license they are also signed up for the DRAFT.......Now they can vote in 2014.....once they figger this out maybe they will become Patriots........

No, 6 of those years were for the Georgia state government.
