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

I'm taller than you are, although you're considerably thicker around the waist.
Do you know what proportion of the many, many people who are mobbing the exchanges are doing so because they don't want health insurance but are unwilling to pay the fine? And what is the fine again, around $400 a year?

How many are mobbing the exchanges because no one can honestly explain the costs vs penalties, the employer portions vs individual and so on? The liberal fantasy of buy your health insurance and pay for mine too is playing into it heavily.
Stick to Extr...... then, no body respects that either.

Barrycare is a very liquid piece of legislation, that's one of the reasons it's so dangerous. No one knows what the law is now and if Barry and/or Harry and his henchmen want to change it they will. Americans are too fat? Fine, outlaw fast food, big soft drinks, and red pencils (because red pencils have fuck all to do with anything!). In the meanwhile the administration continues to find ways to take from those who have and hand wealth over to the Gubment, it's not helping those who have less.

Okay, you don't know how many people mobbing the exchanges are doing so because they'd rather be fined $400 a year (IIRC) than have health insurance. You also apparently aren't going to be silly enought to compare a $400 a year fine (IIRC) to spending 25 years in a prison camp. Finally, you apparently have absolutely no idea how insurance pools work. Every time you pay a health insurance premium and don't get sick, you're living the "liberal fantasy" you described above.
With your appearance, nature was unusually cruel not to at least give you brains.

Someone pwease bring a crying towel to the sniveling bedwetter.

Ray's lost it. Good news is if he goes on a rampage with a handgun no one will be in much danger. Next?

Software and IT design within the federal system is unfortunately developed by committee, not by software engineers.

New York Time Article 10/12/2013 wrote: Deadline after deadline was missed. The biggest contractor, CGI Federal, was awarded its $94 million contract in December 2011. But the government was so slow in issuing specifications that the firm did not start writing software code until this spring, according to people familiar with the process.

Walter L Newton wrote: The ACA website is using standard HTML and CSS for the page design (just use "show source" in your browser to see the actual page coding) , Javascript plugins and functions on the client side (the user) and the back end (database) is an Oracle database (Oracle is the Federal government standard for their databases).

Any programmer of any experience can write an object that collects, post and retrieves passwords in about an hour. And that includes checking for existing passwords, duplicate user names, encrypting the data and any other design restrictions that the programmer has to deal with.

New York Time Article 10/12/2013 wrote: Senior executives at Oracle, a subcontractor based in California that provided identity management software used in the registration process that has frustrated so many users, defended the company’s work. “Our software is running properly,” said Deborah Hellinger, Oracle’s vice president for corporate communications. The identical software has been widely used in complex systems, she said.

Walter L Newton wrote: The web interface is the portal for millions of people needing affordable health insurance. The database behind the portal is the engine that slices and dices the data and should transmit that data intact to the insurance companies.

New York Time Article 10/12/2013 wrote: But just a trickle of the 14.6 million people who have visited the federal exchange so far have managed to enroll in insurance plans, according to executives of major insurance companies who receive enrollment files from the government. And some of those enrollments are marred by mistakes. Insurance executives said the government had sent some enrollment files to the wrong insurer, confusing companies that have similar names but are in different states. Other files were unusable because crucial information was missing, they said.

What I have been saying over the last two weeks is verified by this New York Times article.

No... I work for that company because I know what I am talking about (see above comments)

As I said... the ACA web portal is good enough for government work.

That NYT article can't be correct. Some little doggie said to me way back that the Obamacare regulations were all released in 2010, there was never any delay for the elections. The reason the software was written requiring a login and income was so people would not be shocked by the raw unsubsidized prices if they were just checking quotes. Never mind the fact that if you make a mistake in estimating your income, those real higher prices may bite you when filing your 2014 tax return

How soon before they send you paper documents to fill out and send in?
Think of all the jobs that will be created when people have to enter the information into the system.

... and starting on week 3?

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.
