Don't for a minute think the Obamacare sign up process is getting any better because a few people are able to go through the application process. Ezra Klein at WaPo reports:
Friday afternoon, I spoke with someone in the insurance industry who's overseeing his company's integration with the federal insurance marketplaces in a number of states. "I've never seen a project go this poorly," he said. "But then, I've never been part of one this grand in scope."
He confirmed, as others have, that his insurer is seeing a lot of bad data come in from the exchanges. Payments are getting rejected. Enrollee information is coming in wrong. Membership is proving tough to validate.
"What our company, and I'm assuming others, are doing is throwing people at it," he said. "We're overcoming the tech flaws with manual reviews and manual rigor and manual processes. That's fine right now, but when you start looking at the scale of what the Obama administration wants to do, that's just not going to scale up."
RW-
ReplyDeleteBelieve me, I understand the problems given and what is happening but there will be bodies in the streets before this thing is reversed. I can't even say "repealed" because I simply do not see it "repealed" in any conceivable Political Universe out of DC.
The only comparable action is the "Euro Experiment" where bodies will be offered up to the gods of Brussels before it happens here. Yes, it's entertaining to listen to Nigel Farage but there is nothing, absolutely nothing that his speeches will change.
There is NO evidence that will change any State of Affairs for the Leftists, especially with this much power nearly within their grasp. Not there. Not here.
I appreciate the evidence and the Horror Stories simply because it needs to be recorded and left in the record SOMEWHERE. Realize, however, that it will not change Moloch Leviathan.
Not with this much power within reach. Not now.

While I respect your premise- the Socialists will never VOLUNTARILY give up- the sheer scope of this debacle plus the growing currency crisis plus the dawning realization of a Nazi-style security system may overwhelm them. It will only take one small exogenous event to bring the facade of stability to crumble.
DeleteGive arrogant, ignorant people unimaginable power to rule over others and you get...Obamacare. A debacle. A train wreck.
ReplyDeleteIt's the Wile E. Coyote health care plan: sure to become a failure of epic proportions, the result of which is a poof of dust at the bottom of a very steep ravine when it goes off the cliff.
How disastrous must this be before they scrap this smelly turd disguised as "health care"?

ReplyDeleteThe problem is giving people power over others period. This is what you get. Maybe one day the idiot masses will finally get government is a superstition.

ReplyDeleteThat won't work. You can't get nine women pregnant and have a baby in a month. Some things just take time. Epic fail coming soon!
