Simple solution to crappy ACA website

Senator
Hire the IT guys who built Kentucky's to start again from scratch, while withholding any payments still due to the Canadians/others and suing for refund of monies already spent.

The numbers back it up: more than 26,000 people have enrolled in coverage [on KY exchange], more than 50,000 have started applications and more than 300,000 unique visitors have checked out what the marketplace has to offer. For a state with about 625,000 uninsured people, those are promising figures.

Full disclosure; Idaho's exchange is also a joke. You go to enroll in ours and they send you to healthcare.gov. Guess what happens when you click Idaho as the state you live in? The Feds send you smack-dab back to Idaho's POS.

Guess the difference is that Kentucky actually has a governor who WANTS it to work!

The government had over three years to plan this and get it done.
 
Apparently the state run sites work fine, it is the fed run site that is in disarray.

No, 2.5 years actually. Still no excuse Zam.. the whole thing is a sham.

Firing the contractors who put this mess together is a start, but they shouldn't be the only ones held accountable. Someone made the decision to give the job to these clowns, someone had to okay their work, and someone made the decision to go ahead and launch it rather than admit it wasn't close to being a finished workable product. Those someones should be held accountable for their poor effort, as alien a concept as that may be inside the beltway.

Should be, but won't be.

I have an even simpler plan.

Let the free market take care of it.

The government is FAR too inept.

The government couldn't dig a 2' ditch in three years. There would first have to be a two year environmental impact study followed by a 3 year lawsuit by the tree huggers.

There was a time when the government ( with a lot of help from private contractors) was quite capable of doing a number of projects well. We built the Hoover Dam and countless others, built miles and miles of Interstate highways, and sent men to the moon and brought them home again.

Now, with a 2 or 3 year head start and a billion dollars, we can't build a website.

We used to be better than this.

I'm sure there will be those standing by with a hat-full of excuses. As an old Senior Chief once advised me, success requires no excuses. Also see "Sorry don't feed the bulldog".

Yes, that's pretty much what they did CB. They hired the IT job out to a bunch of different (free market) companies who didn't corroborate about how and whether it would all fit together. Did you read the link about KY's site?

They did it internally with a few very bright IT people.

Nah. What they did was stick their nose into a system that didn't need it.

They 'contracted' a Canadian outfit and threw government money at them.

A recipe for disaster every time.

Wasn't just the Canadian company dude. Several different companies. Whoever contracted that POS out piecemeal needs to be fired.

It was private contractors who helped put a man on the moon and build the Hoover Dam. Obviously, that system of doing things is not the problem.
