More problems with the implementation of the white elephant Obamacare continues.

 

The website crashed this weekend.  Its back up and running for now.  Wonder if info got lost, which is common with site crashes.

 

"The company that operates HealthCare.gov experienced a connectivity glitch on Sunday, another complication for an already beleaguered population of would-be health care applicants.

White House officials said the company that operates the hub, Terremark, was working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. 

 

Health and Human Services spokesman Joanne Peters said in a statement that the website was down because the company "experienced a failure in a networking component, and planned maintenance to replace it brought down network connectivity to the data center."

"Our understanding is that this failure is likely impacting several other sites, in addition to HealthCare.gov and the Data Services Hub," she added."

A complete rebuild may be required.

 

"The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee said ObamaCare’s Web site, already a tangled mess, might need to be rebuilt from scratch to to protect against cyber-thieves because he fears it’s not a safe place right now for health-care consumers to deposit their personal information.

 

“ I know that they’ve called in another private entity to try to help with the security of it. The problem is, they may have to redesign the entire system,” Rep. Mike Rogers said on Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” political talk show. “The way the system is designed, it is not secure.”

 

Returning to questions he raised last week at a chaotic oversight hearing on ObamaCare, Rogers said healthcare.gov could be vulnerable to cyber-mischief because of a potentially leaky data-sharing arrangement between the seven federal agencies that manage different parts of ObamaCare."

The present chaos cost $634 million,  a 680 percent cost overrun for the original estimate.  Nevermind the months of delay and possible personal data loss to hackers, which has already occurred.

 

Per the Treasury IG, another $67 million can't be accounted for.

 

"The “Health Insurance Reform Implementation Fund” (HIRIF) was tucked into Obamacare in order to give the IRS money to enforce the tax provisions of the healthcare law.  The fund, totaling some $1 billion of taxpayer money, was used to roll out enforcement mechanisms for the approximately 50 tax provisions of Obamacare. 

 

According to the report:  “Specifically, the IRS did not account for or attempt to quantify approximately $67 million [from the slush fund] of indirect ACA costs incurred for Fiscal Years 2010 through 2012.' "

I've audited private firms that lost or had stolen hundreds of thousands, it takes the government (the IRS, imagine the irony) to lose millions.

Republicans in the House made a tactical error attempting to defund this turkey.  Better to let the thing lurch along like the monster it is.  Simply refuse new funding and demand the reasons for the failures.

 

TRUTH -- THE NEW HATE SPEECH!

i wonder why you never post a topic about the $400 billion dollar F35 fighter. pushed by the republicans. not wanted by any military agency. and to top it off... it doesn't even work! but, lets all go after the "AHA website". btw, how much did the site really cost? your $600 million price is the amount paid to the firm over the past 7 years. but, then again, i'd expect no less than half truths and fraudulent amounts from a rt. wingnut accountant.

Meanwhile, GAO documents the sticker shock received by applicants for Obamacare.

 

"A new report from the Government Accountability Office detailing insurance premiums paid throughout the United States in 2013 provides another piece of evidence that young and healthy Americans will see their premiums soar once President Obama’s health care law kicks in next year.

In response to a request from Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, the GAO cataloged premiums in all 50 states plus the District of Columbia as of January 2013. The report provides the minimum price, median price and maximum price for individual insurance policies for a sample of demographics. There are a number of caveats. The rates presented could vary based on a person’s specific health status, for instance, and not every plan was offered in every part of each state. But taken together, the report provides analysts with a good basic sense of where premiums are in the pre-Obamacare marketplace.

Crash refers to the F-35 thread, for which he posted a number of cut and paste article pertaining to the aircrafts, but not particularly pertinent to his claims.  Still awaiting his support for the claim about Obamacare.

 

I suspect Obama has a problem with reading comprehension, too.  He read that people in the US needed catastrophic healthcare insurance, at least.  Then proceeded to provide catastrophic healthcare, at best. 

Remember this bit of propaganda right before the Obamacare website opened. 

 

"In an upbeat blog post on Saturday, Sebelius released statistics to illustrate the volume of interest in the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, and the speed of the "data hub," one piece of the complex system behind HealthCare.gov.

 

Sebelius praised the performance of the data hub, which connects to the Social Security Administration and Internal Revenue Service to verify applicants' identity and income.

She said it took the hub less than 1.2 seconds to route information, and called it "a model of efficiency and security."

 

"The Hub is on the job, and so are we," said Sebelius, who will be grilled about the website by Republican lawmakers at a hearing on Wednesday.

 

The hub was developed by Quality Software Services Inc, or QSSI, a unit of health insurer UnitedHealth Group."

This rivals the press release that the Titanic left Calais on schedule.  That, the Hindenburg is ahead of schedule. Or, that there will be a delay in the arrival of the train with engineer Casey Jones.

Two questions:

1. Why do liberals ALWAYS have to use the word "wingnut" every time they refer to a conservative?  It is so very trite and frankly I am bored to tears from all their fluff and banter.

2. How do those Obama/healthcare supporters continue to stick their heads in the sand and ignore what a bust he and his wonderful idea really are?  How many times did we hear him say, "If you like your current plan and/or doctor, you can keep it." - "Your premiums will not increase.  In fact, in some instances they may even decrease" ?  LIE!

When Obamaphobes stop using such vile terms as "Obummer" (https://www.tnvalleytalks.com/search?searching=true&type=everything&queryString=obummer  and "Obozo" https://www.tnvalleytalks.com/search?searching=true&type=everything&queryString=obozo  to identify the President and such terms as "Moochelle" and "Moosechelle" to identify the First Lady, I will stop using "wingnut" to identify the wingnuts.  I use that term not for all conservatives, but for the ones who have taken flagrantly extreme positions, e.g the "birthers" and those who insist the President is a "Marxist".

I think it's funny that you can't resist using these "Titles".  How shallow are you, exactly???  I have been opposed to him and his smooth talk since the very beginning but do not use those titles for him or his wife.  I would appreciate it if you'd NOT throw me in the mix with others who use those terms and try to refrain from name calling.  Didn't your parents/grandparents ever teach you that "two wrongs don't make a right"?  Really.  Try and rise above the petty, schoolyard name calling.

_______________________________________________________

Typically, on blogs, conservatives are referred to as wingnuts and lefties a screeching moonbats -- pretty much a literary given,, As wingnuts are reliable items that keep things from falling apart, I'd rather be a called a wingnut, than a moonbat.

 

No doubt that Obama is quite leftwing, how far, we don't know. All papers he wrote in university are under seal.  However, besides being left, we also know he is arrogant and incompetent.  He management style will be used in business schools for generations as a how NOT to do it.  The man is proof that no one is useless, they may always serve as a bad example.

They use 'wingnut' because there is no conservative equivalent to the word 'Liberal' that carries such a negative vibe to it
