Obamacare Hearing

Minotaur

Minotaur

Governor
OK maybe it is just me but this hearing has gone on for how long now and they are tying up resources to ask questions about the failed website. Couldn't they have wrapped it up in an hour just by saying is everyone fired in the IT department who put it together? Answer yes or no. Thank you...Now back to Benghazi

I mean seriously. The website is a mess and we all know it is non-functional and they are working on it. Shouldn't they wait until the new IT discovers all the mistakes and then hold a hearing? Just asking. ;)

That has to be the BIGGEST rollout screw up in Technology history! But not to fear, they are bringing in a team of Voo-doo experts. Should be smooth running in 50 pin stabs at the life sized ACA doll. Now there is a Hearing I would watch!

I miss you so much! ;)
 
The hearings are a joke..Just a chance for a bunch of pasty faced overweight Republican Congressman to Grandstand...Fvck 'em

Well maybe a few months might be a better concept? lol

Ms. Minotaur,

Didn't you suggest that they should wait until the IT guys discover all the mistakes? I a month or two, the IT haven't even sent out their kickbacks and bribe checks, and are too busy looking at boat catalogs to even look into finding, let alone fixing any problems.
 
The little bit I witnessed, was Rep. Cummings offering a public servant the opportunity to respond to Issa's accusing him of being a misleading liar, on the weekend Fox.

Not that long ago, absent any evidence, a Congressman (of either party) wouldn't have thought to level such an egregious accusation. But...nowadays, our Fox/GOPs appear to accept it as some sort of "new normal".
 
Issa's hearing is just more repub sabotage. I understand Park was invited to the hearing and he explained that he's working 24/7, often sleeping on the floor, to get the job done and couldn't it wait. so Issa subpoenaed him.
 
Socialized medicine is the cornerstone of a socialist/communist state and the erasure of individual rights. Of free will. Of free choice.

You have a point. Perhaps we should rethink timing back to your suggested 6 years. ;)

My husband just got through a big rollout and I know the pain. The thing is every single day of the rollout they all had to stop 3 to 4 or 5 times a day for phone conferences. As the responsible person on site he was not happy at all!
 
The hearings are obviously political but do pressure the administration into action. Without some hearings and some accountability this website development could go on indefinitely.

The government shutdown wasn't enough to stall ACA from delaying its start so the next step is to pressure the incompetants to get out and get someone who knows how to develop a website in.

The website was an inevitable trainwreck. It simply had way too many cooks. Every state's reality was different, as was every state's commitment to making it work. As well, I imagine the Adminstration felt compelled to parcel out the work to more different contractors/subcontractors than it should have, in order to forestall the inevitable accusations of political favoritism.

Rather than leading with the website idea, the administration probably should have led with all the various other ways of signing up, and offered the website as an "interesting" and perhaps even experimental alternative.

But doesn't the phone support use the same websites to help the person searching get insurance? That is another thing that the president is getting chided for because he said you could get phone support when in fact the phone support uses the same websites and he didn't know that or misrepresented it.

I'm not familiar with all the logistical specifics, nor are they really all that germane to me. This is way more of a political issue than a practical one. Come the deadline, anyone and everyone who wants to avail themselves of this historic legislation, will have had the opportunity to do so.

So..back to the politics of it all.....For whatever reason - and I can think of a few good ones - the Obamans chose to present this massive undertaking as historically "easy peasy". The original Medicare and Li'l Geroge's "Part D" had plenty of hiccups and "rough patches" of their own. But in those cases, the relevant politicos didn't make the mistake of overselling people on how easy it would be to sign up.
