Hey, remember that time that no one could buy anything from Amazon.com for two weeks? No? OK, well, how about that time that no one could sign into their iTunes account for two weeks? Surely you remember that, right? No?
Hmmmm.... Maybe that's because private corporate websites aren't being supported by burdensome punitive taxes. See, they can't go two weeks without being able to service their customers, because if they did their loyal shoppers would be furious and eventually they'd go out of business. Fortunately, the federal government has no such concerns. Since they can just keep confiscating money regardless of performance, there's really no incentive to provide a quality product. That's probably why, after two weeks, the Obamacare exchange at Healthcare.gov still won't allow the poor folks at CNN to sign up.
CNN's senior medical correspondent Elizabeth Cohen has been trying to get a healthcare.gov account since the site launched 14 days ago. She’s tried in the morning, in the evening, and even in the middle of the night, but the poor thing has had no luck.
The feds had three years to build this system and they’ve delivered an embarrassing mess. In fact, it’s such a huge train wreck that even the mainstream media is finding it impossible to ignore.
Being forced to air a report like the one below has just got to drive the honchos at CNN right up the wall. If things are this bad now, when we're dealing with nothing more complicated than a website, just imagine the chaos that we'll be enduring when the IPAB gets rolling....
Of course, much of this will be moot in the long run, since Obamacare is designed to fail. Once it does, Dems will seize the opportunity to ensure that - as Harry Reid promised - the ACA will be remembered as a brief step on the pathway to a full, government-run, single payer system. There's even a quick nod to that idea in the video below.
