It's November 30th - Healthcare.gov still broken

Obamacare's Website Won't Be Working By November 30 -- But What If It Isn't Working By November 2014?

When President Obama appointed Jeffrey Zients to take over the troubled Healthcare.gov Obamacare website, Zients made a promise: “By the end of November, Healthcare.gov will work smoothly for the vast majority of users,” he said. We’re now at the end of November, and it’s pretty clear that the Obama administration will miss its self-imposed deadline. It’ll be tomorrow’s talking point for the GOP. But the question that matters most this year is not whether Obamacare is working by this November. It’s whether Obamacare is working by next November. If it’s not, Republicans may regain control of the Senate. So, let’s take a clear-eyed look at how Obamacare is likely to play out over the next twelve months

How Will We Know If HealthCare.gov Is Fixed

Saturday is the day the Obama administration set as its deadline for making HealthCare.gov a "smooth experience" for most users.

A tech-savvy team of engineers, database architects and contractors has been working through the holiday to ensure the White House makes good on that promise, but judging the success of their efforts may take some time.

How will we know whether the website is fixed? NPR's health policy correspondent Julie Rovner says that partly depends on how you define "fixed."

Remember the promise is to have it working for what they call the "vast majority of users," by which the administration means 80 percent of visitors to the site.

That means 1 of every 5 people will still need to use a call center, an in-person counselor, or a paper application due to a technical problem or because his or her individual situation is too complex to be handled online. So Amazon or Orbitz this is not.

Hey Man, I tried!

Potemkin Village, anyone? Joe Scarborough has offered a scathing simile for the new-'n-improved Obamacare website. On today's Morning Joe, he likened the site to the set of a Hollywood Western--pushing back the facade reveals that there's nothing behind it.

Even former Obama spox Robert Gibbs—proudly sporting an Auburn jersey—acknowledged that big chunks of the system, including the payment mechanism for subsidies, haven't even been built. So people can go to the site, receive the illusion that they have obtained coverage, only to find that there is no follow-through.
