Riiight…
(LA Times) Amid a big marketing push with cheesy ads ‘Covered California’ ObamaCare website suffered an outage yesterday (why does this sound familiar, I digress) allegedly as a result of software glitches.
What Other’s Are Saying to Covered California@Facebook
Steve Laviletta “You figure with all the money their charging us they could afford to hire some knowledgeable computer techs. Just sayin.”
Jason Tillery replies: “What is CC charging you for? Their application process if free. As always, its the insurance companies placing a value on the insurance you elect to buy.”
My reply to Jason: “Anything that govt does is not free, taxpayers are footing the bill for this unmitigated disaster that is forecasting a $78 Million deficit next year.”
Covered California Picture of the Day
Breenan King Cane “The only way they are fixing it at all is because its not on hold, its operational and it has to get done. They aren’t going to suspend anything…Accept reality–California signups are a big success story as far as they’re concerned and the underlying mess is downplayed. We just have to keep plugging along and getting through until March 31 and then hope they spend the next six months actually fixing it for the fall.”
Huh??? On the 23 January, I wrote here ‘Covered California By the Numbers, What Didn’t They Tell You.’

John Pack “Brennan, I ran a successful business. Pardon me if I don’t accept reality. When the system is highly flawed and managed by people who apparently have little business acumen. As far as being a big success story, how about some numbers showing the actual number of people who enrolled due to losing their previous coverage. I understand what you are saying here but it is unconscionable to me that with the time available to prepare for this launch it was botched so badly.”
Ninon Nickerson “Whoever you paid to create this website should be FIRED immediately.”
Jose Castas “4 days and counting. Covered California must have called the Pest Control unit and quarantined the website to get rid of all the bugs…ha, ha,ha.”
AK Scalzo “Why do I feel if I join Covered Cali I will get high blood pressure??”
Jean Pruett Bounds “Is anyone surprised, this whole process has been nothing but a fiasco.”
Richard Lake “I don’t need Shop & Compare, I need to create an account! How tough is it to get your act together?”
Cheeraphan Schneider “You guys need to hire new person for your computer technicians!!!”
Marco Aguilera “As usual!!”
Carma LF “As always……”
Delmer Sanburg, Jr “The whole thing is a rip off for the few of us who work our rears off only to see so much of it taken from us and doled out by the Democrats to buy votes.”
Eric Olsen “Why are you selling plans to us when we can’t find a doctor to accept them?”

Vince Reyes “How come this never seems to happen to eBay or Amazon? This whole ‘Covered California’ thing is unraveling quickly…”
Alex Sule “Any idea when it will be back up and running?”
Sean Wolfe “Uh huh, our tax dollars at work.”
Daniel Khang “Sucks.”
