Not sure how the Friend/Foe feature works, as I haven't used it, but here it is in the User Control Panel:

Options
Overview
Profile
Board preferences
Private messages
Usergroups
Friends & Foes

» Manage friends
» Manage foes

The info for the "Manage foes" reads: Foes are users which will be ignored by default. Posts by these users will not be fully visible. Personal messages from foes are still permitted. Please note that you cannot ignore moderators or administrators.

White House Provides More Time for Health Sign-Up

“If you weren’t able to enroll in an insurance plan by Dec. 23 because of problems you had using HealthCare.gov, you still may be able to get coverage that starts Jan. 1,” the administration told visitors to the website. “Even though we have passed the Dec. 23 enrollment deadline for coverage starting Jan. 1, we don’t want you to miss out if you’ve been trying to enroll.

“Sometimes despite your best efforts, you might have run into delays caused by heavy traffic to HealthCare.gov, maintenance periods, or other issues with our systems that prevented you from finishing the process on time. If this happened to you, don’t worry — we still may be able to help you get covered as soon as Jan. 1.”

Think about it. In order for the sign up software to handle a heavier load of people trying to access the website, all they needed to do (like before Oct. 1st, but at least by now) was to install more concurrent servers, servers with more memory and make sure their network is tune for optimum speed and throughput.

User load is NOT THE PROBLEM. It's the software. And it's f'ked.

This chart explains it all

Subdomain/Percent of Visitors

healthcare.gov-99.38%
localhelp.healthcare.gov-1.64%
finder.healthcare.gov -.49%
imp1a.healthcare.gov-0.25%
test2.healthcare.gov-0.14%

Almost no one is getting through to the pieces of healthcare.gov that enables them to find a plan (finder.healthcare.gov) or get local help (localhelp.healthcare.gov).

"imp1a.healthcare.gov" and "test2.healthcare.gov" are test sites and not accessible to the general public.

Read the chart again. Only .49% of the visitors are getting to the part of the signup process that enable them to find a plan.

You don't believe me... read the stats yourself.

http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/healthcare.gov

This chart will show you visitors to the site, which of course have increased since Oct. But visitors do not equal people who successfully finished the process and popped out the back with a new health care plan.

http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://healthcare.gov

And look at the average page views and time spent at the site.

Daily Pageviews per Visitor - 7.61/55.00%
Daily Time on Site - 6:59

Seven or so page views and 7 minutes on the site does not equal a signed, sealed and paid for health care plan. It does not compute. It takes me longer than that to purchase a Iphone cord from Amazon.

There is no way that the administrations figures about how many have signed up is true.

This is what one would expect from an administration that has lied and lied throughout this process from day one.

Gotta admit, they are learning - how to lie better.

We know many of you have been working hard to finish enrolling in a health plan in the Health Insurance Marketplace. Even though we have passed the December 23 enrollment deadline for coverage starting January 1, we don’t want you to miss out if you’ve been trying to enroll.

Sometimes despite your best efforts, you might have run into delays caused by heavy traffic to HealthCare.gov, maintenance periods, or other issues with our systems that prevented you from finishing the process on time. If this happened to you, don’t worry – we still may be able to help you get covered as soon as January 1.

Contact the Marketplace call center at 1-800-318-2596 (available 24/7; closed December 25). TTY: 1-855-889-4325.

Tell our customer service representative that you’ve been trying to enroll and explain why you couldn’t finish by the deadline. They can tell you what you can do to finish your enrollment and still get covered for 2014.

https://www.healthcare.gov/blog/couldnt ... t-covered/

No definite deadline, no "Period", and no acknowledgement that the 'deadline' had already been extended to 12/24, but, if this dog ate your homework, you can still try calling and begging the teacher to let you turn it in late, and you might still get coverage by January 1.

The new possible/probable problem coming up soon will be the people who signed up, but that information never went to the insurance companies... therefore they are not covered. If you think people are mad about losing doctors or paying higher premiums/deductables, just wait to see how pissed they are when they need care but find out they don't have coverage they assumed they had.
