Update: Add to all the big screw ups listed below this doozy: HHS had forty-two months to build this system after the passage of the Affordable Care Act in March 2010 to hit the October 1 deadline.  Why did they wait more than forty months to begin building the payment system that is absolutely critical […]

Update: The Impossible just became Fictional: TWS: If I don’t pick a plan until 12/15, won’t it be too late for my info to go to the insurance company, them to bill me, and me to make a payment by 12/21? Seems pretty tight. [Healthcare.gov] Rep: You must make your first premium payment by 12/15/13 […]

You have to wonder if the Commander-in-Chief is in full command of his faculties after this week. I have no idea what President Obama thought he would accomplish with his Mea Culpa press conference, but it boiled down to apologizing for his huge lies 0n keeping current health plans (and prices) by announcing another false […]

This is one of many “I told you so” posts I expect to write on Obamacare and the launch of Healthcare.gov. As of this week the picture I predicted would come true is coming true – with force. Healthcare.gov was the first big deployment of Obamacare, the flagship of what was to come in government […]

Alternate Title: There Always Was Going To Be Death Panels Watching liberal, activist government crash and burn on Obamacare is both laughable and sad. Laughable because of all the snake oil people fell for because they want hand outs. Sad, because the lesson to be learned here will be painful, and may even be deadly. […]

Major Update: Reporting by the Washington Post confirms just about everything I have been posting about Healthcare.gov. Their source – top administration officials: President Obama’s top economic aides were getting worried. Larry Summers, director of the White House’s National Economic Council, and Peter Orszag, head of the Office of Management and Budget, had just received […]

I have been doing more research on the programmatic and technical management of the Healthcare.gov program, and have identified the main reasons ObamaCare’s roll out was such a disaster. Bottom Line: Too much scope in too short a time. And the root cause of that was government taking on more than it knew how to […]

The Congressional hearings yesterday went as usual – lot of hot air, lot of politicians posturing and nothing new. Truth be told, the industry leaders who worked pieces of ObamaCare were 100% right and forthcoming when they testified. They do NOT deserve blame for this fiasco. This mess is ALL on the government organization responsible […]

Want to know how bad the ObamaCare website is doing? After House Democrats got a special insight briefing from the administration on the situation, the House Dems promptly freaked out! “It’s screwed up,” Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) said, summing up the whole situation. … House Democrats raised several concerns with Cohen, including whether the personal […]

Apparently the disastrous launch of Obamacare, via the Big-Gov Botch-Job that is Healthcare.gov, has left an impression on the American public. A very bad impression: Just 12% of people questioned in a CBS News poll released Tuesday say they think the process is going well, with nearly half saying it’s not going well and nearly […]
