By now we’ve all heard
that the much-anticipated launch of the ObamaCare health insurance exchanges
has been nothing short of a disaster. The healthcare.gov website opened for
business on October 1, but users are still having major problems with the
site’s many glitches. The government had months to get this website set up and
working properly, but many people are giving up trying to enroll due to all of
its issues. The original estimate for the cost of the site was $93 million.
It’s now gone up to $634 million. And per usual, guess who pays for that?
That’s right, you and me and many other taxpayers who wanted nothing to do with
ObamaCare in the first place.
As House of
Representatives Speaker John Boehner asked, “How can we tax people for not
buying a product from a website that doesn’t work?”
Some computer experts
are saying that it will take months before the site is operating correctly. One
said that because people will continue to try to use it while it’s being fixed,
it will be like trying to repair a car while it’s driving. Apparently, those in
the know realized the website would have a lot of problems before the launch
took place, but it was pushed through anyway.
Here’s my take on this.
Eventually the computer issues will be fixed and eventually everyone will
forget about the problems associated with the ObamaCare launch. But that’s when
the real problems will start that will make these computer issues seem like
child’s play.
Businesses will be forced
to cut staff, people will lose the health insurance they have through
employers, states will go bankrupt and the economy will suffer. All that will
occur due to ObamaCare working the way it was intended to. I’ll take computer
problems over that any day of the week.
Are you surprised to see
ObamaCare get off to such a rocky start, or is this pretty much what you had
expected? Please feel free to chime in.
