Do you think the Obamacare website problems were created on purpose to cover up for low enrollment?

Question

Anyone curious if all these problems with the Obamacare website are being created to cover up for low enrollment? I mean c'mon, they had years and hundreds of millions of dollars to test this thing out. Even the companies with the largest, most complicated websites with a fraction of the time and money to prepare their websites, don't have the series of ongoing problems the Obamacare website has had.

Here in California only around 100k have started applications with an estimated 20-25k having completed them. That's is less than 1/10th of the people in the who have had their insurance cancelled because it did not comply with the new ACA regs. At this rate, less than 150,000 of the 6-7 million in our state will be enrolled, and California has one of the highest Obamacare(Covered California) enrollments in the nation.

Actually, by clicking on the agree button on page 5, you are converting to Islam which was the plan all along.

Answer 2

No. The federal website is having problems because there was not enough testing prior to Oct. 1. Some states that build their own website are not having problems like the federal website. For example, Kentucky Obamacare website, called Kynect, is doing very well.



As far for the rate of enrollment, the state of MA has a slow enrollment at first as well until a few months before the mandate was to take effect.



Slow roll out. Website problems. These are all fixable and will get better with time. None of these things are showstoppers.

Answer 3

No, Two things are mostly responsible for the Obamacare website problems

1. They waited till after the November 2012 elections to implement good part of Obamacare because of the fear of information about Obamacare would get out before the elections

2. Instead having where you could just go on and get some idea what the costs would be, they force everyone to register giving you social security number so they could look at your income and detemine if you qualified for a subsidy and then they gave you a price that included that subsidy. This was because they fear price shock.



Now they are refusing to release any figures because those actually enrolling in Obamacare are very low.

Answer 4

No, that happens to every website that gets flooded with traffic.



For example, do you play video games? If so, you probably heard about all the problems Grand Theft Auto was facing when they launched multiplayer - because everyone was trying to log in at the same time...just like everyone is trying to log into the ACA website at the same time.

Answer 5

No. Poor people have multiple options when enrolling...Pharmacies, hospitals, public libraries, Social Security offices, DMVs....lots of ways.

Answer 6

No. The software was set and then the government changed it. It had originally been made to browse the insurance options with no private data entered. It was changed so the user needed yo government information to look. I stay with private insurance.

Answer 7

You are correct. And if you want car insurance or dental insurance you can go online and enter your zip code and compare plans. Not with Obamacare, there is a lot more involved before you can see prices.



The Administration knew this long ago.

Answer 8

No, I think government is simply useless. It takes a trillion dollars and an army of IT government crony techs to figure out how to turn on a computer.

Answer 9

it's a familiar set of snafus used by other countries when the same companies were involved.

Answer 10

No. It is just their thing to do everything uncorrectly. History is history and they just love doing nothing well. Peace

Answer 11

I think it must be Bush's fault!..like everything else!
