Obamacare rollout status report: central place for updates

[ivwshane]

The parrots are the ones who keep insisting the obamacare rollout was as smooth as silk and so far obamacare has been a smashing success.

Which top democrat has stated this or what "left wing" media entity is pushing that narrative?

 

[IndyColtsFan]

FYI-

Open enrollment in 2015 has been delayed to after the election.

LOL, imagine that. Hope! Change! Transparency!

The Department of Health and Human Services will allow Americans to start signing up for coverage starting Nov. 15, 2014, rather than Oct. 15, 2014, a department official said early Friday. People will have until Jan. 15, 2015, rather than Dec. 7, 2014, to complete the process, the official said.


Pretty sure that Nov 15 date being after the elections is just a coincidence...after all the article states "The move is intended to give insurance issuers "the benefit of more time to evaluate their experiences during the 2014 plan year and allow them to take into account those who may enroll late, including young adults, before setting 2015 rates," the department said."

The department would never misled us, would they???

whaa? wow. lol

Also, HHS has or will announce that consumers have until 12/23 this year to sign up for insurance to have it effective 1/1. The problem? It's against their promulgated regulations to do so.

It appears that you're becoming progressively more and more jaded regarding this legislation.

It appears that you're becoming progressively more and more jaded regarding this legislation.

Point taken. I'm trying not to let my thoughts on the legislation seep through either way, but sometimes I can't stop my thoughts on the implementation of the legislation from seeping through.

 

[First]

Whatever your opinion of my reasoning, at least I have some. You have blind faith and nothing more, however many vague, unsubstantiated historical comparisons you dredge up.

I'd also like to point out that the Gallup numbers are corroborated by other sources, many of which you can find with a simple Google search.

I'm sure other polling outfits show short-term fluctuations in ACA and Obama polling, a situation I've never denied. But again, you claiming Obamacare isn't Obamacare if it gets changed (in your case, a "massive" change, something you still will not define for what I'm guessing boils down to your cognitive dissoance) is simply pretending no one can look up the legislative fixes SS and Medicare required in the late 30's and early 70's, respectively (SS survivor benefit in '39, which was a BFG. And Medicare's disability coverage inclusion in 73).

Bottom-line; no one who is a student of history should particularly care about short-term polling fluctuations. His combined polling today, Friday the 22nd, via RCP leaves him at an average approval of 42%. In October it was 46%. Students of history can see him getting back up to 45%+ approval, along with the ACA, if using history as a guide. That's not blind faith, that's demonstrable fact buddy.

But regardless, First, you're an abrasive partisan hack and a troll. Everyone knows this. It's amusing and somewhat cathartic to have you put your posturing on display every now and then, but why in the hell would anyone with half a brain engage you in an honest debate? You have nothing to offer and aren't interested in debate anyway, as your posting record and style clearly show.

Perhaps if one day I'm so bored that I feel I need to hone my knowledge of a political subject, I'll debate you for days, the sole purpose of which will be to force me to research and dredge up every small detail to back you perfectly into a corner. At which point you'll still deny my argument, but it won't matter. Until then, have fun.

Whatever you gotta tell yourself. I'm only abrasive with people who don't see reason and hate looking at history and statistics. I make fun of them because, in the long run, they're basically always wrong.

The Small Business web portal missed the 10/1 deadline for rollout. At the time it was said to be ready November 1. On November 1 it was said to be ready "later in November". Two weeks ago it was said to be ready "at the end of the month." Today, it is announced the SHOP web portal will be ready in November of 2014.

That gives them a year. It "might" work by then. Question is when will the cancellation notices go out for the employer provided insurance ?

Wow.

I thought initially that the long term plan was to destroy the private sector health insurance industry in twenty to thirty years. Looks like I was off by twenty to thirty years.

Great news! Today is the last day to get the site fixed up and tomorrow it will be perfect for anybody who wants to use healthcare.gov!

Best part of that article:

Small businesses will still have the option to purchase SHOP health insurance plans through a broker or agent, who will assist the employer with filing a paper application. The federal government expects to process those filings for eligibility within three to five days, according to a document circulated to health law stakeholders.

That is too funny. Have you known the federal government to process anything in 3-5 days?

This is what the govt defines as success

95% uptime(1 hour a day down)
80% of the customers can complete a transaction.

This is their definition of success!

In other news, due to the supreme efforts of the state, the beet harvest was a dizzying success! Up 8% from the previous year!

The propaganda coming out of this regime makes me feel like Khrushchev was beating his shoe on the desk just yesterday! All hail the state comrades! Life has become so much easier when you just believe!

Makes me hope they've fixed the back end. Previously a huge number of submittals to insurance companies were malformed, requiring an insurance IT rep to call a government IT rep and sort them out. A pain for ten a day, a disaster for thousands a day.

Former Democrat senator Bob Kerrey was on CNBC this morning and mentioned there were still significant issues with the back end data.

Based on their stellar track record in the propaganda department, how much of that is a lie? 95%?

 

[Matt1970]

80% of the time it works every time.

I suspect that the economy will take a hit from people having to pay more for health insurance and having less to spend on other things, just like was seen from high gas prices.

Many of my neighbors that don't work for self insured companies will be paying $100 to $350 a month more for their insurance.

How do they know there are data issues when alot of the back end systems aren't even built yet (as of last week, 30%-40% of Obamacare still had to be built which were mostly back end systems)???

I think you answered your own question:hmm:

Because the 60-70% that is built doesn't work?

Expert: Healthcare.gov Security Risks Even Worse After ‘Fix’

Security? We don't need no stinkin' security!

“It doesn’t appear that any security fixes were done at all,” David Kennedy, CEO of the online security firm TrustedSec, told the Washington Free Beacon.

Kennedy said fundamental safeguards missing from Healthcare.gov that were identified by his company more than a month ago have yet to be put in place.

“There are a number of security concerns already with the website, and that’s without even actually hacking the site, that’s just a purely passive analysis of [it],” he said. “We found a number of critical exposures that were around sensitive information, the ability to hack into the site, things like that. We reported those issues and none of those appear to have been addressed at all.”

After warning Americans when testifying before Congress on Nov. 19 to stay away from Healthcare.gov, Kennedy now says the situation is even worse.

“They said they implemented over 400 bug fixes,” he said. “When you recode the application to fix these 400 bugs—they were rushing this out of the door to get the site at least so it can work a little bit—you’re introducing more security flaws as you go along with it because you don’t even check that code.”
