Is Obamacare imploding?

[FistedSister]

If it was imploding you wouldn't be going ape shit on this board badmouthing it. It's having problems in states that were too stupid to set up the exchanges in time. That would be states like Florida and Texas.

Once again professional racist and tiny dicked loser vette and busy body can't even read numbers correctly.

At least 115,000 people have completed applications through the state-based health insurance exchanges in the first two weeks of Obamacare enrollment, according to data made public by the states.

State exchanges that have released numbers

* New York: "40,000 New Yorkers completed the full application process and were found eligible for health insurance plans allowing them to now choose the low-cost health care plans they applied for." NB: That does not mean they are now insured, or that all have chosen a plan. —10/8, New York State of Health

* Washington: "Enrollments completed, total: 24,949" —10/14, Washington Health Benefit Exchange news release.

* Maryland: "Account-holders who have received eligibility determination, 10/1-10/10: 16,712." —10/11, Maryland Health Benefit Exchange.

* California: "16,300 applications had been completed." —10/11 The Associated Press

* Kentucky: "10,990 individuals are enrolled in new affordable health care coverage." —10/14, Kentucky.gov

* Connecticut: "Applications processed: 1,979." —10/11, Access Health CT

* Massachusetts: "1,134 website visitors completed applications" through the Massachusetts Health Connector during its first week. —10/8, Boston Business Journal

* Washington, D.C.: "1,112 applications submitted." —10/14, District of Columbia Health Benefit Exchange Authority

* Rhode Island: "580 people made it all the way through the process" at Health Source RI "in the first three days." —10/08, USA Today

* Colorado: Connect for Health Colorado "reports 226 enrollments in week 1 of operations, covering 305 people." —10/14, Brandon Rittiman of 9News.com in Denver

Of course vette one time waited online behind a person at McDonald's who took too long to order and he declared the franchise a "failure".

CAUSE THEY LOVE IT SO MUCH

Leaked Memo Shows White House Predicted Almost 500,000 Would Sign Up For Obamacare By End of October… Currently Around 36,000…


Even worse, the 500K number was what the Obama regime considered a slow start.



And with exchange traffic plummeting by 88%, there’s a snowball’s chance in hell of they will hit their goal.


WASHINGTON (AP) — For the first month alone, the Obama administration projected that nearly a half million people would sign up for the new health insurance markets, according to an internal memo obtained by The Associated Press. But that was before the markets opened to a cascade of computer problems.

If the glitches persist and frustrated consumers give up trying, that initial goal, described as modest in the memo, could slip out of reach. [...]

In Cincinnati on Wednesday, Sebelius urged Americans to keep coming back to healthcare.gov if they can’t get through. “Prices don’t change and the product doesn’t run out,” she said.

In the memo, officials estimated that 494,620 people would sign up for health insurance under the program by Oct. 31. And that was portrayed as a slow start.

“We expect enrollment in the initial months to be low,” said the memo titled “Projected Monthly Enrollment Targets for Health Insurance Marketplaces in 2014.”

Wow: Developing Obamacare’s Train Wreck Exchange Website Cost More Than Apple’s Original iPhone…




And not just by a little, the exchange cost between 100% – 300% more to develop than the iPhone. And unlike the iPhone, the Obamacare exchange website is a POS.
Via Forbes:


This is a stunning number from Farhad Manjoo over at the Wall Street Journal. The development cost of the health care exchanges necessary under the ACA (aka Obamacare) is larger than the development cost of the original iPhone at Apple. Indeed, by some estimates it might be four times the cost:


If users found a few bugs in their iPads, she argued, most wouldn’t consider them a complete disaster. Instead, they’d recognize that technology is complicated, that errors are common, and they’d wait for an update. Apple Inc., she added, has “a few more resources” than her department, so “hopefully [citizens will] give us the same slack they give Apple.”

That argument is as clueless as it is misleading. While it’s true that Apple is fantastically wealthy, its product-development costs aren’t necessarily greater than those of the federal government. As Fred Vogelstein reports in his coming book, Apple spent about $150 million developing the iPhone. The health-insurance exchange—which, let’s remember, is merely a website meant to connect citizens to insurance companies, something quite a bit less complex than Apple’s groundbreaking miniature computer—so far has cost at least $360 million, and possibly as much as $600 million.

That’s a pretty bad indictment of the way those health care exchanges have been built: the most egregious problems being with the Federal one that covers the 36 states that did not decide to build their own. After all, the iPhone was not just a new product category, it was also a new operating system and a new paradigm for how to do computing. One would expect this to cost rather more than what is, at root, just a website calling on a few databases. But apparently not so it’s worth trying to work out what went wrong here. Manjoo gives us one reason here:

IT

OVERWHELMED THE SYSTEM



SORTA LIKE AAPL AND AMZN


Humiliation: Design firm yanks Healthcare.gov credit from its website



A fitting tribute to Obama and Sebelius, who helped wreck the Healthcare.gov site because hiding stuff was more important to them than getting it to work properly.

Between this and the devastating USA Today piece calling for “total overhaul,” the official Hot Air pool on when O will announce he’s delaying ObamaCare is open for business. Having hundreds of thousands of people tearing their hair out in frustration at using his crappy site won’t shame him into pulling the plug, but the political embarrassment of his allies starting to back away from his big “achievement” might.

Where'd Vette go? It's not like him to turn tail when a gauntlet is thrown..

Who am I kidding? It's EXACTLY like him.

It sure looks like it.

The website is an unmitigated disaster. People are disgusted with the whole mess. If this continues the Democrats will get pummeled in 2014.

For those of you who bow down to Obama, you better start praying.

You mean, start paying...............Obama has crushed a lot of people, more disaster to come. Ouch.....

As more and more people do get through the enrolling process and find out what kind of money they are going to be forced to pay in those exchanges, all hell will break loose.

Wishful thinking.

I recognize that there are a lot of freeloaders such as yourself, who feel they are owed free health care by the government and take no personal responsibility for their healthcare or that of their family, but thankfully they are in the minority.

He kind of crushed Boehner.
