Guess How Many North Carolinans Have Signed Up For Obamacare Via The Website?
North Carolina’s largest insurer is having its share of problems with the Obamacare website. As CBS Charlotte reports, internal emails obtained by WNCN-TV show that Blue Cross Blue Shield show that only 1,000 people had filled out applications as of October 15th. But perhaps most stunningly...only one person was able to successfully use Healthcare.gov to enroll in the new exchange. What is worse, they note that even that single person has not paid, which means the enrollment is not complete.
Blue Cross Blue Shield found the entire system is so filled with glitches that the company decided not to upload data because it was afraid false information might enter its computer system.
And the emails reveal a scammer was using the insurer’s name to try to obtain personal information.
A person was making phone calls claiming to be with the “National Health Care Registry,” and falsely claim it was taking over healthcare reform contracts from the Blue Cross.
BCBS spokesman Lew Borman told WNCN-TV the company is working with the government to solve these problems.
“We’re hopeful that the issues can be resolved quickly so the Exchange will work seamlessly for our customers,” he said.

North Carolina has the internet? /s
Honestly most North Carolinians probably don't give a shit.
Its all about the stockmarket right now with so much everywhere not going the administrations way. Gotta keep the stockmarket going higher to keep the dumb masses distracted. Have to manage perception else fear truth of shithole is revealed...This is why govt printed money is ended up in the S&P and why it behaves on a separate planet compared to all other markets. This is also why they are trying to cap gold. It's all about perception management. You can let it work for you or defeat you. Disclosure: been buying good quality gold miners that are on bargain sale.
The stockmarket is like Food-Stamps for rich people. Keeps em happy. Keeps em distracted.
This just got a million times funnier as the one signup in that state has already been targeted by identity thieves:

Heh....Java. Another $600 million government project gone bust.
Wasn't this pig meant to be COMPULSORY for business over 50 employees??
Are they going to arrest most of North Carolina now??
" they note that even that single person has not paid"
You have to pay for Obamacare... ?

President Obama said, "I'm sorry..."
Well he got that one right.
Sorry? LOL
He's apologizing to his bots, the rest of us get the middle finger.
I guess that is the definition of "Single Payer".
Ooh. The weekend is starting early.
Lots of regular people own stocks because of the tech bubble. So it is likely a method of keeping not only the rich but also those that are still working with pensions and those that still vote from joining the revolution. Although in actual practice it is allowing those regular people the power to mount a defense against Washington D.C.
So it is all good. You can't stop central bankers without locking them up. It will take the regular people to persuade the military to do that.
In the colleges the UN is attempting to force the professors to teach propaganda and it is having the exact opposite results. They are all pissed and preaching revolution.
Washington D.C. is out of control and losing more control each day.
FIFY
SeanKerrigan - So true! But someday soon, the rich will be the ATM for a food stamp addicted nation. Reality is a bitch!
ok, so the people wanted and overwhelmingly voted for this?
makes me wonder how many people actually vote
are those numbers all made up to?
i've yet to have to wait in line to vote here in De.
Relax... Diebold does the voting now.
Brought to you by the oligarchs that own the parasites, grifters and sociopaths better known as our US professional political class.

Voting is merely a suggestion box for slaves.
and that lucky mother fucker also gets SS disability, foodstamps and gov't assistance with his electric bill. But here is the beauty of the whole thing, the dude is a resident of SC too. Fuck you Obama
Apparently the dude doesn't abide.
Try another theory. The dumb masses have been out of the stock market since Bear and Lehman.

As a North Carolina resident, I can assure you that we have the internet. However, I am much to busy practicing blowing into one of those giant jugs that says xxxx on it.

The most SIMPLE way to crash this entire system is for NO ONE to sign up.What are they going to do to to 250+ MILLION PEOPLE?.Epic Fail under non participation.

Non-participation in ALL flawed, captured, 'mandatory' systems is our birthright. Grow your own, smoke your own, barter, use bitcoin, don't buy frankenfood, it all starts with a well informed citizenry. Once the well-informed go John Galt, the parasites die.
Kind of OT but relevant to the conversation of our programming to be consumers:
My wife and I were at Costco last night and she pointed out the lit-up snowman display and said, "We should get that for the front yard."
To which I replied, "You can make those out of snow, you know,"
She paused with her mouth agape, looked into my eyes and said, "What the fuck is happening to us?"
Then we left.
Perfect. I aspire to do that with everything.

Yup! Just don't and quit paying on student loans as well. And depending on ones situation and the backup in the courts, quit paying your mortgage. Put the savings in gold, silver and lead. They stole the money in the fist place, you need to steal it back.

She looks a lot like a gal we met years ago while surf fishing at Cape Point. After hanging out with my buddy and I for a while, she offered me a ride on her four wheeler. "SURE!"

For the record, I have always loved Southern women. So much so that I married one. All ya'll can keep those "educated" liberal cunts.

Speaking of shit.... North Carolina has more outhouses than any other state in the union... Likely doubles as office suite for most down there
Well, yes; about the outhouses; statistically.
But it's Good Shit - ask anyone in the state.
Got any Good Shit lately?
Yeah, in the office (outhouse), be right back - didja want the 3x or XXXX today.
OK, that will be $50 for the quart jar. Good Shit, guaranteed.
BTW, anyone says he's got a big johnson is probably mighty deficient in truth.
That why your nickname is shorty?
Well, lookee here...
None of the ourhouses are vacant though. Your former neighbors have moved here and rented them. So sorry that we have none left for you.
I sold my outhouse in Texas to a Yankee. He's using it as a condo.

hilarious. obama and everyone else in dc should get thrown the fuck out.
If you like your president, you can keep him.
Personally, I say no thanks, impeach him.
Why do you act as if this catastrophic failure is an accident?
Government absolutely thrives on failure.
All they know how to do is to destroy so that the masses become even more dependent upon them. Also, they crave the cover of incompetence, as it minimizes the exposure of their pure evil.
BCBS owns health care in NC. Total fascist operation.
Nobody wants to be known as the one idiot who signed up AND paid for Zerocare
Damn that means Delaware has them beat with their 50.... Of course they wouldn't say how many of those went to Medicaid.
Ya gotta know how to work 'em like a tool. Smart folks are already figuring out how to go over, around and through.
he died from sticker shock keeled over ,
So strange. We had affordable glitch free healthcare before Medicare, Medicaid, and obamacare. We had the best healthcare in the world before the government got involved. Now it's a decrepit, nonfunctional, unaffordable, and an embarrassment. When will people get that government is not the fucking solution?
The weird thing is, he did pay, the money was taken from his bank account, yet for some strange reason it's not showing up on the system as "paid in full"...
Read the fine print.
Full payment entails providing one (1) child to the Federal Government for "purposes to be determined upon receipt." You get an extra subsidy if it's your firstborn.
The first people that should have signed up for Obamacare should have been Obama and his family and all the Democrats that voted for the bill. Why did the Democrats exempt themselves from Obama's signature piece of legislation???
i'll give you one guess
Only the GOP can save us with THEIR version of Corporatist Health Care Reform!
Only after they win both houses in 2014 and the presidency in 2016.
This fiasco and obviously fatally flawed program (far beyond just the crappy website) is going to become obvious to even the most inattentive sheep by then. It's now obvious to me why the Repugs took the lobbyist money, voted for Obamacare to make sure it passed, and then vehemently fought it from that point on. That way, in 2014 and 2016 they can say, "See, we told you it would be a catastrophe."
Which Republicans voted for Obamacare?
Answer IS.....none.
Ignore the idiot.
True, they actually didn't vote for it, but:
http://politix.topix.com/news/8170-conservatives-name-and-shame-25-republicans-who-voted-to-fund-obamacare
"The curious thing is that none of these senators actually voted "for" Obamacare. They voted for cloture, meaning that they voted to let the bill funding government to proceed to the next stage in the Senate, at which point Reid stripped out the "defund Obamacare" amendment. After that, all of the senators on the list voted against the bill - in other words, they voted against funding Obamacare."
And, as I said, I think that will turn out to be a clever move on their part in 2014 and 2016. However, since both parties are bought and paid for, I don't cheer for either side, I just laugh at their maneuvers.
dead ones?
Which Republicans voted for Obamacare?
None,if memory serves.
They expect the FSA to pay????? Sh!ts free Bro!
You have to pay? Doh!
First this Obamantion of health care and now FDA says they want to regulate trans fats. Trans fats are cheap but very bad for you.
Eliminate cheap fats and the cost of producing food will go up. More sheeple will need assisstance to feed their children when the costs are passed on to the consumer.
Forward!
The timing may be a coincidence but it is odd. Nevermind that Obamacare is not even established by any means. They're already on to the next thing. This is how government works. And soon you will wake up in a fascist shithole where you have been stripped bare of all your rights and freedoms because the 5-year plan keeps chugging along.
You don't like it, too bad. This is government and you're not being asked for your advice.
Shut up and eat your peas.
Maybe if fat fucks ate more peas the transfats would be a non issue

They could have paid 100 million to oracle or SAP and had it done well.
As it is they had to spend 500 million so it could be subcontracted out to minority and "disadvantaged" subcontractors who got 30 percent and the rest went to democrat supporters.
Whatever happened to merit as a reason to give out a contract?
They're corrupt and they are working against you. In my book that makes them an enemy. Now tell me again, why I would support them and their paycheques? Don't tell me I have to. I don't have to do anything. If I'm not earning a dime, then I can't support them. Cash is your friend.
Actually, (insert your big name IT company here) would have bid $100MM, then after the project started the A-Teamers would gradually have been replaced with warm bodies (my favorite was when a contractor for XXX had a "visa problem" and was replaced by his wife) who would have spent most the time either learning what they were paid for already knowing or in meetings with federal clock-watchers. The project would have finally come in at $500MM and the result would have been the same.
The difference between this project and the majority of government train-wrecks is that this one was rolled out instead of being scrapped.
Strawman arguments seem to be your thing.
Is this how reality usually works for you? You tend to make it up on the go?
Yeah, North Carolina -
The state where NO works !
State Liegislature has voted to repeal any rise in sea level, ended teacher's tenure and incentives for National Board Certification, voted to increase legislative salaries but not for teachers, cut overall school funding and gave it to the fine private academies, slashed benefits for unemployment, imposed restrictive voting laws, and liberalized gun carry laws ... the only good thing passed in the last five years.
The Power of No - Care'lina - brought to you by the Repiglican party and Koch Industries.
You forgot big cuts in taxes and spending. Big cuts in regulations. And we are not done yet. Wheeeeeeee!
Your list is funny, where is the /s?
Sea level - seriously?
End tenure - this is a good thing
Salaries - you cannot really believe that the problem with public education is not enough money
Unemployment benefits - when someone is on UE for years, let's call it what it is, welfare
Restrictive voting laws - not sure what this means, but voter fraud is a huge issue
Gun control - we agree it seems
Why do you want the government telling us what to do in sooo many areas of our lives? It is both immoral and just does not work.
sschu
Tenure protects good teachers against irate parents whose pampered children disrupt classrooms and turn in no work, earning a 'D'. Woe be the black teacher with a batch of failing wasps.
States offering good salaries attract good teachers. NC went from #3 to 48 in only five years.
Unemployment money is spent in the local community - cutting off nose to spite face.
Voting laws - doesn't seem necessary with all the gerrymandered dcistricts, but the Repigs seem to feel that cutting registration opportunities, especially among those liberals in, god forbid, Chapel Hill, will enlarge the red side of the vote.
Absolute Bullshit on the 'voter fraud issue' - bought into the red herring, didja?
And yes, a few years ago the Legislature made it illegal to use published sea level projections as the basis of any future plans or regulations until 2016. In the meantime, actual sea level rise along the NC coast is about three times the projections of a few years ago. As such, NC became the laughingstock of the nation -
If your science gives you a result you don't like, pass a law saying the result is illegal. Problem Solved.

Oh, BTW, you're an ass.
And the productive citizens of other states move here. And the deadbeats know they are better off in other states. Bad for them. Good for us. We may be the "laughing stock of the nation", but we are howling with joy so loudly that we cannot hear them. Stay pissed, that's even funnier.
Very true. I do think that the teachers got a bad deal, but the rest of it is good. People from NY, NJ and PA continue to flood down here and they seems to be leaving most of their lib machiations behind them. NC needs to continue to widdle down the parasite class.
Many of them bring huge pensions, paid by the citizens of the state they left, but invested, spent and taxed here. SWEET!
There is nothing like a nice sharp short shot to the nose. Nice set up by the way, you had 'em before he even new it. Like gigging frogs, shine the light and they are yours......
As for the sea level rise thing, that is called CONSENSUS and computer modelling.
Not exactly what we scientists call science.
If NC is such a laughing stock, can I safely assume you will not be domiciled here any time soon? (or is that you Ellie?)

well seeing as I am from NC and still currently living there let me take the time to destroy your bias and since you dont obviously live here you prolly live in some great progressive utopian city (like detroit or any city in cali or NY) now i know where you got your your "talking points" from and presonally i dont care. so far as the sea level thing theres alot of things that has been done that dont make sense like mel watts district: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:NC-Congress-12.PNG now on to the teachers as person who has been though all 13 years of public education in the state of NC i can tell you that the majority of teachers are great untill they thier tenure then they are the worst teacher that you were ever to have the missfortune of having and their tenure should be repealed along with a serious gutting to the current crop of teachers as for their salaris would you like to know that before the last two years teachers have always got a raise while the rest of the state employees(besides the legislative no matter whos in there they are getting a raise so dont give me party bullshit i have work for both they are both bad. lets see oh yes cutting school funding "from the general state funds" in NC we passed the lottery program to help fund schools now it would be nice if the NCdept of education would stop wasting money on trying to give a tablet to every kid http://www.digtriad.com/news/local/article/303330/57/GCS-Tablet-Program-... and accuallty teaching the kids what they need to do to be ready for the work force or college by the time they are 18. why did they give it to private academies cuz they are better its where i am going to send my kids here shortly because they are not governed by the bullshit rules and metheods and poor teacher the ruined public system has been at for the past 15 years so i say why waste monay invest it where it will do some good till they can fix the public end. slashing unemployment from $500 to $ 350 a week yeah i am for that especially when most of the unemployment that NC was paying out was borrowed frm the fed ( that we would have to pay back with interest) so yes as i say cut it make do with less its hard boo hoo grab some children and try to do a sob story dont care. Voting laws yay NC joins 37 other states that are Voter id that you get a free id at any DMV location or one of the two busses that travel and issue them.
and for the guns its one of the only things i agree with you on you have the right to hold your own as you see fit period.
so in essence unless you live here witch it look like you dont why dont you worry about what every 3rd world shithole progressive experiment city you live in first before you talk about how bad a state thats trying to fix alot of the mistakes it made over the past 20 years.

It is only the 11th most populous state in the union. Does it matter that much. Obama would say 'sorry', we thought it would be higher.
Just for fun I went to Healthcare.gov to see how much Obamacare will cost me.
The estimate page has a catastrophic plan will cost me $547 per months and will cover 50% of medical costs with a $10k deductible
A gold plan covering 80% of costs that doesn't even match my current insurance is $1045.00 per month, can't find the deductible yet.
I tried to create an account to see the full plan information. Got an error page saying my account can't be created and to call the Obamacare Shit-line.
I wouldn't touch that website with a ten foot pole... With 4000 physical miles, a proxy server, redundant hardware firewalls, iptables, and squil and between me and that bitch and only penetrating with a Lynx text browser (which dead ended at "The page could not be loaded. The Healthcare.gov website currently does not fully support browsers with 'JavaScript' disabled.") I still picked something nasty up- and had to reboot the firewalls to wash the stench off.
Because.... Because he's sorry.
I write to you of a most urgent matter.
My cousin, who is a member of the royal brigade in Kenya has fallen ill and is in great need of assistance.
He is planning to travel to the United States to receive treatments for his most urgent condition.
He will be bringing with him cash to pay for his treatments but needs an advance of US$2.310,47 to advance for the airfare.
If you will be forwarding him these funds, he will repay you in cash four times over upon his arrival.
Please enter your most personal information into this website: http://www.healthcare.gov.ke so that we may make your most generous transfer as soon as possible.
What? You mean my Brosurance isn't free. Oh HELL NO.
Guess what - Delaware House Bill 392, The Delaware Health Security Act

So it turns out that one of the many bombs inside the ACA is that states get to ban private insurance. Nice!

I found the actual plan .pdf online from Anthem in Ohio. There are plans available for individual hospital networks, but they are worthless unless I use that network.
The only plan currently being taken at the Cleveland Clinic is Medical Mutual, but I couldn't find info on that.
Plan is as follows (none have dental or vision):
Bronze Family Plan - $547 per month, $10k deductible, $45 copay for two doctor visits deductible applies for rest, deductible applies for prescriptions 30% copay past deductible, out of pocket max $12,700
Silver Family Plan - $864 per month, $5500 deductible, $35 copay for three visits then deductible, $15/40 prescription drug, out of pocket max $12,700
Gold Family plan - $1045 per month, $2500 deductible, $30 copay unlimited, $15/40 prescription drug, out of pocket max $10k.
No Platinum plan available. On all plans medical tests and evaluations are subject to the deductible.
Tax credits are available up to $50k a year for a family of 3. At $50k credits will cover 25% of the premiums.
--------
Best case scenario for a family of three making $50k, don't go to the doctor all year and pay $4923.00 for health insurance $410 per month. If you go to the doctor more than twice a year, or need any prescription above simple antibiotics, this plan isn't for you.
Worst case scenario $9400 a year for insurance $783 per month, $30 copay, $15/40 prescriptions
It really doesn't matter if you can afford it because right now the three largest hospital networks in Ohio aren't going to be taking the plan.
Sounds affordable to Harry Reid.
This whole thing gets my vote for biggest clusterfuck ever.
