Reporters have been unable to locate a single person who has found the cheeze at the end of the maze – they can’t even find a healthcare.gov person who knows any person that has completed the sign up process.
John Boehner, are you paying attention?
So, it appears Anonymous has finally hacked into the White House. Go figure.
Forget Boehner. Hey you lousy IRS agents, are you paying attention?
I think I’ve located the problem. Seems healthcare.gov is using a single Commodore 64 as their web server.
da ObamaNation! welcome to ZeroCare. Go to health care.gov and try to sign-up, we double-dog-dare anyone to sign-up.
“FBI officials say that an unknown number of people have enrolled in federal exchanges, but those claims appear spurious at this time.
“A spokesperson for an enrollment assistance program in Virginia claimed a small number of people were successfully enrolled in the state’s federal exchange.” It is unknown at this time if the enrollees were al-Queda operatives hoping to slip under-the-radar and establish sleeper cells close to Washington, D.C. as millions of ecstatic college students were predicted to boost al-Obama’s Utopian dream of Universal Health Care. Investigations continue.
Meanwhile, Ed Asner was asked if the apparent glitches in the roll-out of al-Obama’s Affordable Health Care act would tarnish public perceptions and could the president maintain his cult-like status with young voters said, “Who gives a sh__.”
The New York Times previously reported successful enrollments in Virginia’s federally run exchange, but that passage no longer appears in the NYT piece and is now widely believed to be attributed to an effort to cover-up the actions of al-Queda operatives.
In breaking news on Twitter, “Peter Frost, a health care business reporter with the Chicago Tribune, says he’s confirmed with one individual, Bill Ayers, who successfully purchased coverage on the federally run exchange in Illinois. Another individual, Jeremiah Wright, is thought to have also successfully enrolled, but his actual status waits confirmation.”
So any premature criticisms regarding ObamaCare being a sham operation, or hoax being played on the American people can now be put to rest, now that at least one individual has now successfully claimed to be enrolled.
Obama is actually using an Amiga – that’s a generation better than the C 64. It also uses flat memory addressing. I question the 10 MB hard drive though – that may not be enough for the entire country’s insurance data.
*tongue in cheek*
CBS News with Scott Pelley said that Kalifornia had 7000 successfully sign up and colorado had a few. Then they launched into the ‘donut hole’ where this ol girl from Missouri gets to much in food stamps and part time work and raises her grand-daughter, to qualify for medicaide and not enough for a subsidy. So the jest of the story Missouri republicans bad cause they didn’t take any ‘Obo’ dollars to pay for the expanded medicaide to cover her with free healthcare. The ‘subject’ then was saying that ‘I don’t go to the doctor for my diabetes and gout anymore, so I can buy food for my grand-daughter.”
Republicans/tea-party bad and democrats, SEIU & Obo good. geesh.
These people better wake up , Obo don’t give a ‘cheit’ whether you get healthcare or cheese. As long as he can play golf with reggie Love.
parrott
You covered in pretty well, Parrott, but I would add Obo wants Mooch-elle to take another long, extended vacation without him so’s he can scarf down some real food. The guy is looking positively scrawny and starved these days.
Ah, but California is running their own exchange, so all healthcare.gov does is sends you there. It’s the 34 states that relied on HHS to manage the Federal Exchange that are stuck.
Actually, there is no surprise here – it was reported maybe a month ago that testing found healthcare.gov was unable to pull in the data.
The Washington Post interviewed a Maryland woman who stood next to Obama at a White House press appearance Tuesday. She said she tried signing up for Obamacare later in the day and again on Wednesday before giving up.
You in the fog and missing the main reason it is a sham. Remember its objective. It was to make it so that poor people unable to pay for healthcare would not get a free ride in hospitals or at doctor’s on the backs of those that did pay for healthcare.
What does healthcare.gov do? It institutionalizes that free ride and adds penalties to the people that can pay their own way if they don’t participate in the wealth transfer.
Let’s say 10 million more uninsured people get coverage. I don’t know if this is typical, but my freshly minted relative who just started her primary care practice at a clinic expects to carry 2,400 patients. That means an immediate need for 4,166 new primary care doctors (in addition to those retiring or moving to Belize)
So what happens when the healthy 20 somethings – who voted for Obama and think Jon Stewart is giving them news – realize the government is going to take 10% of their income in addition to what they already pay in Medicare tax?
They realize that the free healthcare they voted for was not for them to use, but for them to pay for?
Well, then they can become heroin addicts so they get their fair share of health care costs
A sham but perhaps a good place to get a deal on a new jersey. 😉

You didn’t build that!

Barack Obama did tell Canadians he would have more flexibility after the election.
This explains it all – they’re trying to use 6 alphanumeric postal codes instead of zip (zone improvement plan) codes – no wonder it can’t find anything.
Healthcare.gov update
Got an email telling me the technicians are hard at work adding capacity and retooling the web site to deal with the problem nobody has been able to sign up yet (the poster kid from TN had lied about signing up)
As of yesterday, I can login to my account, but then immediately given a blank page for my user profile, a failure earlier in the process than what used to work. That’s still the situation – once again the web site was down overnight for “scheduled maintenance”
The sham on the back end is worse than the sham on the front end:

But, Mendelson warned, “I’m going to say they have one month to get their act together on the IT” to reduce the lag in verifying and finalizing applications. If that doesn’t happen, the government could “potentially increase the length of the enrollment period.”
This explains why ICHIP decided not to terminate my HIPAA coverage. If I am uncovered for 63 days, I lose the portability guarantee in HIPAA.
