Second verse, same as the first.
It’s been over a week since the Obama administration kicked off HealthCare.gov and Obamacare shoppers are still unable to find out what’s in it. Visitors to the marketplace website have been thwarted by identity verification issues and plagued by unnavigable system errors.
Weekend maintenance for “further improvements” failed to fix problems blamed on Historic™ volume and the site was down again today. NBC News (yes, NBC News) reports:
The site, www.healthcare.gov, was out of order until mid-morning Tuesday, creating another big public relations headache for the Obama administration’s efforts to get 7 million people or more signed up for health insurance coverage that will start as on January 1.
Some users reported trouble logging on even after the fix. It wasn’t immediately clear how well it worked.
Let us be clear:
@HealthCareGov Took a week to get in just to create account, verified email, now won't let me go any further, just brings up a blank page.

@HealthCareGov How about you take the system offline and keep it offline until glitches are fixed. #tiredoftrying

@Robins483 @jonfavs @HealthCareGov @ddiamond @philgalewitz I spoke too soon. As soon as I filled out the application, errors crater me.

Bingo:
The #obamacare website is just another example of how govt fails where private industry is a success. #aca #debtceiling #govtisnotthecure
