Major insurers, state health-care officials and Democratic allies repeatedly warned the Obama administration in recent months that the new federal health-insurance exchange had significant problems, according to people familiar with the conversations. Despite those warnings and intense criticism from Republicans, the White House proceeded with an Oct. 1 launch.
A week after the federal Web site opened, technical problems continued to plague the system, and on Tuesday people were locked out until 10 a.m., although some applicants were able to sign up as the day went on. Officials said they were working 24 hours a day to improve the system and that they were confident it would soon be able to meet the demand. They added that there was ample time to correct the site to allow consumers to get insured by Jan. 1.

I became a Libertarian at the age of twenty-five when I had the epiphany that people tend to work harder when they know they could be fired for poor performance. Ergo, those who cannot be fired --government employees-- will, pretty much by definition, always be the bottom of the barrel.
Federal prosecutors don't know what quotation marks mean. Public defenders don't know when to stand or sit and they counsel their clients to plead guilty to the completely wrong sentence. The FBI can't seem to figure out who put that smoking compressor on the street corner. Are you seeing a pattern here?
It's pretty easy to come up with a functioning website. Just peruse any number of websites --Amazon or Netflix or Spotify or any bank or insurance company. It's not space travel.
The private sector has managed to make it possible for me to deposit a check by taking a picture of it with my smartphone. And the funds are available in my account instantly.
If that embarrassing heap of dog shit called the United States Government were to attempt the same thing, their solution would be to erect a vast network of pneumatic tubes crisscrossing the nation, like at the drive-through at the bank, and idiot government employees would be spilling Pepsi all over everything and bumping into the tubes with their asses and discarding entire batches of checks into the trash if their workload became overwhelming.

I do not consider it responsible not to have car insurance. So one day I spent an hour hunting for car insurance. In that hour, I managed to apply with a half dozen insurance companies (before determining that none would sell me insurance.)
If that idiot jurisdiction can't even achieve in two years what the private sector manages to do on a daily basis, do you really want that collection of borderline mentally retarded idiots involved in your health care?
