Obama Prepares To Address Nation And... Healthcare.gov Crashes (Again)

Tyler Durden's picture




 

With 75 minutes until the President's news conference - that we suspect would have been chock full of positivity over the 'progress' the Obamacare website has made - Healthcare.gov is down.

As WaPo first observed, "The home page is still present, but when one tries to apply for a health plan, the site says the "system is down." A message on the screen says it is part of "scheduled maintenance." The deadline for people to obtain coverage for the New Year is Dec. 23 -- which means the site could see in spike in visits in the coming days."

The result of all the Obamacare "fixes" is screen captured below:

Is this the part where he announces the 14th unlawful change to the Obamacare tax/law all the while directing any negative attention to the Duck Dynasty drama?

In the end, if you liked your healthcare... you could keep your health care. But only after you cancelled it and Obama's all-star 'Tech working group' consisting of Zynga, Yahoo, Netflix and Twitter could not fix a HTML5 web portal.

Nice job Obama. Nice job.

I had a policy, it was cancelled b/c the govt enacted a law tha teveryone be covered; now, I am not required to be covered. 

 

Once again - Fuck theprudent, support the imprudent. 

 

Obomber is a total ZERO. $1.4B budget to build a website. Imagine if we went to war?

I like how 2 months ago when the first wave of cancellations went out, 0zer0 and his bots were all saying "Be happy you don't have these substandard crap plans anymore... 0zer0care plans will be much better (but the fact that you will pay twice as much was never mentioned). Today it is "If you were cancelled by your insurance company, be of good cheer because I bring you tidings of great joy that will be for all the world to see that you will now be offered these same substandard crap catastrophic plans that we said before you should be happy to avoid, but now you will pay the full comprehensive cadillac price for these substandard crap catastrophic plans. Please accept this gift in lieu of coal, since my new EPA regulations forbid coal to be used as a fuel. Happy Holidays!"

People are monkeys; they can't even help other sick monkeys without forming obtuse delivery mechanisms charging more bananans than most make in a year, with other monkeys counting the banannas, and the supposed leaders getting free bananas and giving your bananas to the monkeys supposedly helping you to get better.

So no, there will be no utopian world order in a world of homo sapiens who are more brutal and selfish than monkeys.

You are clearly a compassionate sensitive person. If you want to make your world a joyous paradise, all you need to do is something nice for your neighbor.

My neighbor snowblows other peoples driveways without being asked and without compensation. Everyone loves him and he is catalyzing the whole neighborhood coming together. Agape goes a long way.

Zero realized that this is the last day to make excuses as most people who lost coverage were told they HAD TO SIGN UP by 12/23/13 to  be covered by 01/01/14. How do you sign up on time for an illusion? Zero will spew the usual double-speak for them in a little over an hour. Amerika should be ashamed of what they have put their faith in, actors and criminals.

The Obama(care) fuck up is pure entertainment, I use it to get myself asleep at night.

If I was an American, I would just completely ignore Obamacare. Stay with your current insurance, if they kick you out, up to them. Don't sign up, don't call, if Obama wants you insured, let him organize it himself then.

It's unbelievable that there are still so many people signing up for something so utterly retarded, just because Obama wants it... screw him, why don't you send him off and get somebody competent to run your country?

What is going on overthere???

I was reading on the history of Nazi Germany. One of the things that struck me was that while the citizenry was starving to death, the political parties were enriching themselves and not doing anything to help the populace. Hitler's fiery charisma and deft political manipulation persuaded the German people to VOTE him 4 years of tyrannical power. You know, temporarily, just so he could fix things up a bit.
