Why Weren't They Ready?

They knew the date; they're the ones who picked it. They knew for years in advance. They knew people had to sign up, they made it the law. And yet, when the day came, this:

Then they tried to tell us things that didn't make sense:

"We didn't know it would be this popular." Really? Didn't you make it mandatory? How did you not see that coming.

"It's like when it happens to Apple." Except no one has to answer to the IRS if they don't buy an iPhone. And the iPhone works. So, no, it's not like that at all.


Not to worry. I'm sure the level of service you can expect from government-run healthcare is going to be spectacular.

Just like their website access.

You complaining or gloating?

I'm observing.

It's a legitimate question.

Your post went way beyond observing.

Stop being such a nervous wreck.

People have months to get policies. The GOP's sabotage of the websites will be overcome and everything will be fine.

No need to get so wee-wee'd up.

...you heard that there were multiple denial of service attacks on the sites, right? I wonder who could have staged those?

I wonder who couldn't foresee it and be ready for it.

hee hee...the GOP's sabotage is Obama's fault.

...be ready for DNS attack? Seriously?

...but does it really matter because people have several MONTHS to obtain coverage -

That's your opinion. I believe it is a legitimate question, although it is one bound to make some folks uncomfortable.

Yes.

I'd be interested in their tracking a few of these hacks back to their sources. But...if they did so, I'm sure the ususal suspects would be up in arms about how the Obaman jackboots are threatening the poor hacker's free speech rights.

Let the record show you brought him into the discussion, not I.

The question as to why they weren't ready seems to have some folks flummoxed.

Why weren't they ready?

Is that a serious question, ZZ?

It's the fvcking government, man.

They're NEVER ready for anything.

I hadn't heard that. I heard there was a suspicion... not proven.

Got a link?

Attacks on government computers happen all the time, much of it from overseas.

Those who know how, deal with it.

And if they don't know how, then the attack succeeds.

Dude, a DNS attach is so easy to stop and mitigate that it's insane. If the government wasn't ready for that....they're idiots.

Oh, wait...it is the government.

Implication and innuendo...the GOP's preferred method of discourse...

I'm afraid HHS hired the caliber of techs who designed Romney's campaign program. remember it crashed on election day, the one day it was needed!! LOL

all that time and planning Romney put in and on the ONE day that it was needed, it failed. now the smooth-running Obama campaign had no problems, but then they had star quality techs volunteer to run the thing.

bottom line. don't worry, HHS will work out the glitches.
