No, I do not! However, I do expect the Republicans to keep up their steady stream of misinformation and criticisms of “Obamacare” and the president, who is bringing in other “talent” with established reputations for fixing website problems. Every massive rollout has problems, and healthcare.gov is experiencing millions of people trying to sign up daily; much more activity than most websites that sell products. Anyone remember the problems under President W. Bush with the Medicare Part D rollout? They didn’t kill the policy because of a terrible launch of the website. Mitch McConnell said of “Obamacare”, “A visit to the website is kind of like a trip to the Department of Motor Vehicles in your state — we’re going to do everything we can in the future to try to repeal it”. Does that mean we should shut down motor vehicle offices because obtaining services can be inconvenient or complicated? People have patience!! The problems will get fixed, even if it means extending the enrollment period! Don’t keep trying to set up different user-names and password accounts. My friends had problems getting online, but they called 1-800-318-2596 and spoke with a pleasant, patient person who helped them complete a paper application by phone, and they will receive a response through the mail.

Do you believe computer problems associated with the recent rollout of the ACA is indicative of how the rest of the law will be implemented?
