Obamacare and Healthcare.gov

If the government can't get a -blam!-ing website to function properly, then how do we expect it to run a national healthcare system (or rather a bastardization thereof)?

  • Obamacare is a shit attempt towards a single-payer healthcare plan. But Republicans would never pass a single-payer plan, even though it would benefit everyone in the country.

  • The budget to create the website was 80 mill in jan, they tripled it to 240 mill in the summer, and just recently doubled that to 500 mill. 500mill of hard earned tax dollars down the drain to create a failed website :P

    • Yep, the politicians that supported obamacare are the programmers that made the faulty website. Politicians aren't smart enough for that!

    • YUUUUUP, Obama's Shutdown was completely worthless because now he's doing the one thing he fought so hard to stop and now looks like a fool for shutting down the government for something he's forced to do anyways.

      • How many of the people here complaining about "Obamacare" pay for their own insurance, and went through the exchange? Just curious if anyone actually knows what they are talking about.

        • You don't even know why it wasn't functioning properly in some states do you? There was a very good discussion on this on Bloomberg this morning. Basically many of the red states were fighting this thing until the very end, so instead of setting up their own exchanges (like many of the blue states did) they all had to defer to a federal one at the last minute. So with millions of people all trying to access it at the same time things were bound to get screwy. I'd think that as a gamer you'd see this coming, especially since the private industry even has trouble preparing for just a few hundred thousand people to be slamming their servers all at once.

          • Really though the reason american healthcae is horrible is cause the government is in the market where thee are no profits while the private insurancr are in the more profitablearket. If the government entered the profitable market cost could be brought down.

            • Forcing everyone to buy into insurance is hardly a healthcare, it's forcing people to buy into the system.

            • Website cost $600 million dollars. Insurance companies told administration to delay the opening and test more. Obama knew that would look bad and decided to gamble. Obama lost.
