    Dont worry about it Nip the owners of this country cant even start up the government. The idaho site has not run without problems for three days. Its almost laughable.

    No new website is going to handle that amount of traffic when it starts up. I do believe this thread is just hate on the government for being the government without even seeing if this thing works. It isn't even fully implemented yet.

    Google grew from a project in 96 to what it is today. It didn't have that many hits in one day, and neither did any of the others mentioned. And the website MAYBE cost a hundred million. And that is including the salaries and contracts that were made before the website was to be created.

    That is one of many numbers being thrown around.

    It doesn't fucking work...I don't care if it's 1 million...But the price tag I saw was $400=M just to private contractors plus the feds that worked on it.


    And now it sets a ACA has gotten a fraction of the hits these other sites do in a given day, a fraction and cost 100xs more even in todays dollars


    That's why Obama even said it has problems....cause it does.


    Even like everyone says, if they don't get young healthy people in the first 2 years the program is over....won't work, cant save it.


    Waiting to see what happens, all I know is the fucker cost me my policy. Not for a year or two, but we have now is gone

    Yah, a fraction of the hits those sights get NOW, not ten or fifteen years ago. Yall are making assumptions about things before they happen.

    And my personal favorite put in laymans terms

    How you have YEARS and you can't accomplish the easiest part of the plan....a very simple basic concept that a highschooler could code over the course of months....and it cost $400,000,000.00 in government contracts and estimated $234,000,000.00 in government workers pay.


    How doesn't that upset you....it's our money. It's like watching the military spend billions on needless weapon systems that they will never use.


    And it (website) doesn't even work...the plan itself is probably going to fail.

    What we had before didn't work. Why does everybody seem to forget that before the health care reform we are experiencing, we ALL agreed the system sucks and has to be changed. Well, now we are changing it.


    I'd like to help make the change a good one, not a bad one. I just don't know how. But I know that ANYTHING other than what we had will be better.

    Well I have not gone to the website. I do like the idea of differant companys offering insurance. Out here Blue Cross set up a monopoly years ago and there prices are sky high. They even cohersed various clinics doctors ect to only take blue cross insurance. It has been a real joke.


    I hope now it gets pounded in there ass as I was reading that one of the biggest oponents of obamacare was Blue cross of Idaho. NO wonder!!

    The affordable care act hasn't had time to affect the market like that yet. It isn't fully implemented. "Before Obamacare" was a couple weeks ago.
