Log on to a private carrier like anthem and you get a quote with in seconds. I was watching an interview with a web developer who said it looked someone with little experiance put the site together and it could easily be fixed at little cost. But I guess that would be too easy.

I saw a post on one of those CRAZY websites saying that signing up for Obamacare online "would allow the government access to your Social Security number."   HAHAHAHA   ::)

Since the shutdown intending to destroy Obamacare, the popularity of Obamacare is up 7%. Tactically, a disaster for Obamacare haters.  But you can't tell those idiots that.  They think they are #winning.  The GOP is now the most unpopular political party in American history. What took so long?  The Republican approval rating has sunk lower than the approval rating for Erectile Dysfunction.

Should have gone single payer. Forcing Americans into business with a select grouo of insurers is wrong, IMHO.

at least with single payer you cut out the middle guy that has no business being there.

but insurance is horseshit here anyway, we shouldn't be mandated to carry liability auto insurance either... it should be your choice as to whether you want to cover yourself from others.

To be fair, I don't think any site that aims to serve both content and data, features registrations, management features, complex data models and backend integration at this scale can be fixed at little cost. Anyone who says so is either clueless or has an ulterior motive.

The sort of site we are talking about here is a massive undertaking even if all you want to do is utilize an existing CMS system with a fancy skinned front end. There's a reason why companies like Peoplesoft have very well-paid integration engineers whose job is to help their customers integrate the software with their business.

The Federal Government employs many skilled and competent administrators and programmers, and this isn't a dig against them but I'm not surprised that the healthcare.gov site is melting down. Even if everything was working right, it's hard to predict how complex systems will behave under complex and unpredictable loads. Some instability, some issues, some downtime is to be expected as the kinks are ironed out.

But this is more than kinks. This feels like a joke almost.  t is clear that the development and the roll out have been horribly managed... I'm not sure why anyone would be surprised at that. If anything the Federal Government is a world-renowned expert in the field of bad management.

I have a feeling that when you have "obamacare" and you go to the doctor's office, they take you around to the small clinic in the back with the slightly older equipment.

Bronze Plan for 240 a year....Silver 1243 a year.  However due to income and service record, each of the plans would be subsidized so I wouldn't pay anything.

So a big selling point for the liberal left is this entitlement of subsidized health insurance policies paid for by the taxes of the working is a great thing. How is the government going to pay for that perk nation wide when this country is broke? Another thing is how is the Federal government deciding which health care companies can participate in the health care exchanges? Do you think that wreaks of corruption? 

The left liberal rabid supporters of Obama just makes me sick in thinking can this generation be that stupid?

Basile isn't an American citizen. He doesn't qualify. I believe healthcare is socialized in Australia. Socialize healthcare is likely less expensive then the Affordable Healthcare Act concepts are at this point since it isn't actually socialized healthcare, just a step in that direction.

What I find humorous is that there are a lot of folks who are complaining about Obamacare who are on public assistance. In Oregon, they likely qualify for the Oregon Plan which is free to those who qualify and yet they don't get that Obamacare is just a Federal version of this.

Talk about stupid, have you considered that the big health insurers may not want to participate? Before I retired, my two-party healthcare insurance cost my employer over a $1,000 a month and that was in 2009. Healthcare insurance costs have increased since then. They may not want to give up the "gravy train" they've exclusively enjoyed up until now. This also explains why the healthcare insurance industry has spent millions of dollars to fight Obamacare, money they get from us schmucks paying high premiums for crappy coverage.

This is a hoax by the time you get logged in and choose a plan the sign up date will be over, then you have to pay a penalty just more money for the government. ;)

Do you qualify for Obamacare? If so, have you made an effort to sign up for it. You have until March 31, 2014 to sign up and avoid the penalty. I cannot imagine that it would take the most ignorant individual that long to navigate the signup and you are hardly ignorant are you?

$240 a year for healthcare?

That ain't gonna be quality healthcare - all those 'socialist' countries have citizens contributing waaaaaaay more than that to the system.

Why on earth anyone would try to go through that site without an agent or broker is beyond me.  It doesn't cost a dime extra. There are 140 plans on the marketplace, and a broker can help you slice through that in minutes.

Because Oregon has the Oregon Health Plan which is essentially Obamacare, only we had it before Obamacare. one is redirected to this site to make application. Apparently, it all depends on which state you live in and what is in place in that state. I don't qualify for the Oregon Health Plan because I am not poor enough and I already am on Medicare. There was no need to pursue it any further. People on the Oregon Health Plan have pretty good coverage.
