Today,
November 30th, is the day that the President's Administration
promised to have healthcare.gov working smoothly "for the
majority of users". (Time, October 25, 2013).
And we
know how this Administration works.
The
words will be re-invented, twisted, and contrived to make it seem
like the promise was met even if in the real world, the website
runs like a 2 year old 1972 Chevrolet Vega belching blue smoke and
still able to go down the road after checking the gasoline and
refilling the oil.
With
November 30th being on the weekend just after Thanksgiving, most
of the under-informed and ignorant people who voted for him will
be too obsessed buying stuff during the opening of the Christmas
shopping season. These fools won't give a flying
monkey's ass if the website works 30% of the time - they'll hear
that it is improved (well, it only worked about 10% of the time
before). These ignorant fools won't consider that no
business would run a website that was down 70% of the time or
didn't work properly 70% of the time, but this Administration will
spin having the homepage and the dishonest and inaccurately low
example rates for plans operational as "working
smoothly".
What
you likely won't have operational is being able to pay online or
to submit your information online without the site going
down. You won't know if your plan is approved
online, but that doesn't matter. As long as a
majority of the users see the homepage, to this Administration
that is an improvement. And don't forget, you can
always pick up the phone or use a crayon to fill out a paper
version - or you can go to one of the healthcare navigators,
former prison inmates, Acorn scam artists, or other fools that
don't have to go through any criminal background checks, and give
them your sensitive personal data.
What
you won't find happening today is a website that works like
Amazon.com or Travelocity.com. If you want an
operational website from Obama and company, maybe check back in
several years.
And
you have already paid over $200 million for the work that will run
smoothly maybe 30% of the time.
