Lou Dobbs: Number Of ObamaCare Enrollees Likely In The Low Thousands

By Brian Carey on October 8, 2013 Subscribe to Brian Carey's Feed@brianmcarey



“30 million Americans don’t have health insurance.”

Remember that line? Remember how the Democrats used it over and over again and a gullible (if not complicit) media never bothered to challenge them on that number?

ObamaCare will provide quality, affordable health care to those 30 million who are uninsured!

Apparently those 30 million, if they ever existed, don’t really want health insurance.

What’s more likely, of course, is that they never existed.

Lou Dobbs took to his chalk board last night to talk about the problems plaguing the ObamaCare website. He started out by playing a clip fromSaturday Night Live, a program that has been having some fun mocking ObamaCare lately. This comes as a pleasant, but welcome, surprise to us.

After that, Dobbs itemized some facts about the healthcare.gov website. One point that he noted was that only 8 million people attempted to access the site. That’s still a number quite a bit below 30 million, and we have no idea how many of those people were trying to access the site so that they could enroll in ObamaCare.

We wouldn’t be surprised if a significant portion of those 8 million visitors were members of the lamestream media checking out the site so that they could find some reason to justify ObamaCare’s existence.

Dobbs also talked about the fact that the website cost taxpayers $230 million. That’s a lot of money for a website that can’t handle its traffic.

“And what are we getting,” Dobbs asked, “for all that time, and energy, and money? The Obama Administration isn’t saying how many people have signed up. They refuse to say… but industry experts say that it’s likely in the low… are you ready? Thousands.”

Have a look at the video below.

CBS News Reports Man Spent a Whole Week Trying to Enroll in Obamacare. Still Failed.

09 October, 2013 / by Website Editor / in Obamacare

Americans don’t like Obamacare. The rare ones that do can’t even enroll in any of the plans.

The Obama administration has had three years to get their systems, plans, providers in sync for the rollout. They failed.

There is a term in engineering called “stress testing”. Put your product under the most severe of stresses and make sure it can be dealt with. Obamanation doesn’t believe in such things because as horribly as they fail, nobody puts their feet to the fire.

Evidence of that? At the WH presser (as reported by Politico), not one question about Obamacare. What?

Online Obamacare Exchange: A $634 Million, Glitch-Ridden Privacy Concern

To the amusement of conservatives and to the frustration of supporters trying to sign up, Obamacare insurance exchange websites throughout the Nation have been plagued with technical glitches since going online last week.
The sites under the care of Healthcare.gov continually rejects user logins, fails to load drop-down menus and provides an overall unenjoyably glitch-ridden user experience, according to the accounts of many who have attempted to sign up. Obama Administration officials have blamed the problems on overwhelming popularity and, last weekend, ordered major renovations intended to make the sites function properly.
But new reports indicate that popularity has less to do with the glitches than failure on the part of the government.
According to Digital Trends, the site failures are mostly to blame on poorly written computer coding that could not handle traffic once the sites went online. The report also notes that the code was not only poorly written, but that it was also very costly.
Via Digital Trends:

The exact cost to build Healthcare.gov, according to U.S. government records, appears to have been $634,320,919, which we paid to a company you probably never heard of: CGI Federal. The company originally won the contract back in 2011, but at that time, the cost was expected to run “up to” $93.7 million — still a chunk of change, but nothing near where it ended up.
Given the complicated nature of federal contracts, it’s difficult to make a direct comparison between the cost to develop Healthcare.gov and the amount of money spent building private online businesses. But for the sake of putting the monstrous amount of money into perspective, here are a few figures to chew on: Facebook, which received its first investment in June 2004, operated for a full six years before surpassing the $600 million mark in June 2010. Twitter, created in 2006, managed to get by with only $360.17 million in total funding until a $400 million boost in 2011. Instagram ginned up just $57.5 million in funding before Facebook bought it for (a staggering) $1 billion last year. And LinkedIn and Spotify, meanwhile, have only raised, respectively, $200 million and $288 million.

The expensive, glitch-ridden website also comes with serious privacy flaws. Social Security Commissioner Michael Astrue recently described the online Obamacare exchanges as an “overly simplistic system without adequate privacy safeguards,” leaving exchange enrollees “open to identity theft, lost periods of health insurance coverage, and exposure of address for victims of domestic abuse and others… the beta version [of the exchanges] jammed through a few months ago will, unless delayed and fixed, inflict on the public the most widespread violation of the Privacy Act in our history.”
