Your Say
I think the best explanation for what's going wrong is that the site does a lot more than sign you up for insurance, but all that extra stuff being added on isn't meshing well with the main website structure.
I mean, do you really think these guys would pass up a chance at gathering demographic and census information? Locations, names, family members, spending habits, etc.

The website's problems, yet another casualty of Chicago-style cronyism, are separate and inconsequential to the problems that will arise once people are able to sign up. The real damage will start when people begin to receive their unaffordable premiums and start screaming for the government to fix what they f'ed up.
Of course, the problem will be the private insurers and the solution will be single-payer.

Maybe the people working on Obamacare should be using slide rules.

I suspect the main program they got from the company worked, but then they added things to it to make it better and messed it all up.

Staffed by no-childs-left-behind and shirt-tail relatives.
They couldn't find their ass with their hands tied behind their backs.
