I'm not following all the particulars on this site because I already believe I know why Obamacare was instituted, but that's only my firm belief, stated a few times here but I have a question.

Has anybody that has tried to or successfully gotten coverage said just exactly what personal info the Obamacare site wants? If I'm hearing some rumors correctly their is quite a bit I would not want them to know about my personal life. I think, with a CC permit, Secret/Top secret interim security clearance from my military days, VA membership and paying income tax for 60 years along with all the state, county and federal interaction I have had; THEY ALREADY KNOW WAY TOO MUCH ABOUT ME!

Froggy,

I was able to get those some sort of quotes off of the ObamaDontCare site. I detailed it a few days ago in this thread. Never mind the absolutely horrendous deductible amounts for a moment that they give zero information about. An even worse problem is that the pricing is completely false. That's why I asked if you had gotten a quote AND checked the price with the insurer. It's also virtually impossible to do even a half-assed job of shopping for the best product with the information provided by ObamaDontCare. You get more information from Amazon.com shopping for toasters!

I wasn't talking about the insurance companies being the greedy ones. See Papa Johns and the numerous other companies killing off or otherwise altering healthcare coverage or reducing the maximum amount of hours employees can work.

Don't you find it the least bit odd that these "greedy companies" didn't do this stuff to their employees until they found out what ObamaDontCare was going to do? They are reacting to new market factors exactly like they have to to remain profitable. The sad thing is that our leaders that wrote and passed this steaming pile, either don't care, or don't understand what they are doing to businesses and their employees. Now, I have a hard time believing that they didn't know what it would do. They were told by everyone who could get a voice. They just didn't want to listen. Probably because they were getting some pretty sweet kickbacks of their own for supporting ObamaDontCare. Blaming business owners who warned you of what would happen if this was passed is pretty lame.

I was noticing that in my time on the site. I was really hoping I didn't understand, but they spun it as getting gold coverage out of pocket expenses at a silver price because of the kick back. I just couldn't make sense out of telling a low income person who currently can't afford ANY insurance that he will now be fined if he doesn't now purchase the minimum amount of insurance, but don't fear because we will help you pay for it, but only if you can afford a higher tier of insurance.

If I didn't know better, I would swear that nobody read this damn bill before they passed it.

So I get to the security question part of enrollment on this page and fill in these answers...





Then hit the "Create Account" button and this is the result...





Froggy, see anything wrong with my answers?



Just a note on how the site works, when you hit the "Return To Create Account" button, rather than take you back to where you were in the registration process, it dumps you right back to the very first screen with no information filled in. This is just bad design. If the problem really was a user error, you have just wiped out their entire application process on their last step. That's just, pardon the expression, but... Retarded! This sort of design would never fly for any profit making corporation. No way!

Current rumor is the Canadian company that has a rep for late, bad heath insurance websites was told days, not weeks before it opened to the public that they had to change it. Like I said, rumor, I haven't verified this.

The original site ( which apparently didn't work anyway ) was set up like any shopping site. You look, pick, and then enter personal data to get the process finished.

The rumor is that they were told to change it so you enter your life story first, THEN go shopping. The spin is that it was to keep the prices hidden, but that could just be horrible lies or silly guesses by evil R's and Cons.

I mean, seriously some people think Obama is a hustler who's every mentor was/is some kind of Marxist, and that he lied about how wonderful the ACA was going to be.

If you believe that nonsense you probably think he lied about Benghazi, the Mexican Drug gang gun running operation, his Mother, his golf score ( no, wait, that was Clinton ) and how much he loves you.

Btw, in an effort to save the environment, the paper version of the ACA application will contain a donation form for Obama.com.

Don't forget, if it's not all filled out, it's not valid.

This won't surprise anyone who's paying attention:

quote:

On Wednesday, CNN’s Dana Bash tweeted that all Senate Democrats up for re-election in 2014 will reportedly support a delay of Obamacare’s enrollment deadline.

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), who is up for re-election in 2014, wrote to Obama on Tuesday and asked him to delay the enrollment deadline for the individual mandate. “Given the existing problems with the website, I urge you to consider extending open enrollment beyond the current end date of March 31, 2014,” Shaheen wrote to the president. "Allowing extra time for consumers is critically important so they have the opportunity to become familiar with the website, survey their options and enroll.”

On Wednesday, Sen. Mark Pryor (D-AR), who is facing a tough challenge in his 2014 re-election against Rep. Tom Cotton (R-AR), came out in support of Shaheen’s call for a delay of the individual mandate’s enrollment deadline. Pryor had previously been on record as supportive of the mandate as is.

Now, according to CNN’s Bash, the Democratic Party is coordinating an effort to support a delay in the individual mandate.

“new: senior dem source tells me to expect every sen dem running in 2014 to back @JeanneShaheen proposal to delay #ACA enrollment deadline,” Bash tweeted on early Wednesday evening.

When It Mattered, Red-State Dems Voted Against Obamacare Delay
Joel B. Pollak Oct 23, 2013 5:29 PM PT

Dana Bash of CNN reported Wednesday evening that all of the Democratic Senators facing re-election in 2014 would back a "new" proposal to delay the Obamacare enrollment deadline--not really "new," since Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) already said he would propose legislation to delay the individual mandate, and House Republicans passed a bill in late September to avoid a government shutdown if the mandate were delayed.


quote:

new: senior dem source tells me to expect every sen dem running in 2014 to back @JeanneShaheen proposal to delay #ACA enrollment deadline
— Dana Bash (@DanaBashCNN) October 23, 2013



The House proposal failed in the Senate, 54-46, on a party-line vote. Every single Democrat voted against the proposed delay in Obamacare's individual mandate, including those up for re-election in 2014, including red-state Democrats--all of them. If just five of them had shifted, the shutdown would have been avoided and the delay would have been passed--to face Obama's veto, but the point would have been made.

Furthermore, there are sixteen Democrats facing re-election in the Senate, almost enough to override the president's veto. If just a few more Democrats--perhaps the five planning to retire--had switched to back a delay that even the White House is said to be considering in one form or another, then Obama's veto would not have been a threat. The disastrous Obamacare rollout, and the shutdown, would not have happened.

As I wrote on Sep. 23, that solution was "Win-win. Therefore unlikely." But it should have happened, if the media had been more interested in the substance of the issue rather than whether Obama would win or lose. Instead, they helped Democrats and the media label the GOP as terrorists, hostage-takers, kidnappers, arsonists, "Gremlins" (my favorite) and suicide bombers--while some Republicans joined in the insults.

When the polls landed, Democrats became the "terrorists, hostage-takers, kidnappers, arsonists, and suicide bombers," pressing their perceived advantage to demand the reversal of the budget sequester--at least until their allies in the media quietly warned them not to squander their victory. Now that some Democrats have embraced what Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and--yes--John Boehner fought for, no one is calling them nasty names.

What's done is done--and Republicans will have to find a way back from what was, in the end, a very real political loss. But let it be noted, along the way, that the very same Democrats who will now be lining up to support a delay in the enrollment deadline or individual mandate were proud that they "never folded" in the debate just a few weeks ago. They had their chance to protect Americans. They protected Obama instead.

So, if the 16 Dem senators up for reelection get their way, does the implementation of 0bamaDontCare get punted until after the mid-terms?

Is this what the 0-team wanted all along? Put another way: Is the flawed website by design?

Sebelius said yesterday that prior to October 1st President 0bama had no idea the ODC rollout was going to fail.

Her comments reminded me of those of Lerner's re: the IRS scandal. (Where is she, by the way? Still on "administrative leave"? Nice work, if you can get it.)

So, the so-called leader of our country (I'm old enough to remember when America's president was also considered the leader of the free world; sigh, those were the days) is NOT in the loop on any of this stuff? His signature achievement - the TAX that will cement his place in the anals [sic] of American history, nay, WORLD history, as one Very Kewl Dewd - goes into instant grand mal on its debut because of massive "technical" problems, and the Boss wasn't informed in advance?

Yeah, right.

We're in a race to the mid-terms. The job of the president, and all his evil henchmen and women, is to set fires behind them faster than we can put them out. (Kinda defines his entire presidency, doesn't it??)

Their job is to keep us very, very busy, and, at all costs, to get to the finish line first.

Their job is to FINISH the fundamental transformation of this country.

This is only the beginning of a massively bloated and inefficient program. You won't be able to keep the doctor you like because he will have resigned in disgust at the extraordinary additional Government intrusion.

More are paying more and getting less. Scrap this turd and design a health care system with true private sector competition.

On a lighter note, this has got to be the biggest IT boondoggle of all time. And it's got Obama tattooed right on it's face! Make him own it. Make all who voted for it own it. This has set a high bar even for government boondoggles. Don't let them run from it.

What about finding a good paying job with great benefits? Then we won't have to search thru this site? I mean, will there still be hope in that regard? I remember my folks saying... get a good job with the phone Co, or Elec Co... Gas Co.. or a big engineering firm, etc etc.. and you will be well off.

I just went browsing and... I freaking hate it. Very confusing, it is ugly and links all over the place that open new windows with no back button (except for win back button) The website idea is the worst possible and was designed worse than a HS project. (no offense to HS'ers) I went thru it and clicked links for more info here and there and they opened new pages...so now I have like 15 tabs... one can easily get confused.

I feel like I am being forced to buy something.

NOPE.

Why the freak should I waste my ink on your dumb ass idea? I want a package given to me. Same way employers give you a benefit package to look over (at home) and choose. How do I know...if they print it today... everything wont change in a week.

Are all these people that are on unemployment (or worse)... barely getting their bills paid, some are barley paying bills. How are they going to afford the insurance?? Should they let their car get repod'? Should they give up some luxuries like the I N T E R N E T ? (they can call in right?) They won't be able to get to a job, won't have internet to email resumes out either.. BUT they will have health care insurance (including some benefits they do not need?)

Between Benghazi, Fast & Furious, IRS Scandal, OBAMADONTCARE... (WHAT ELSE??)

This whole administration has to be the worst EVER.

So Cruz and Lee drag republicans to offer a continuing resolution that refunds aca. Dems say no. Then they offer a CR that takes away the obamacare exemption for congress...dems say no. Then they say ok, how about we fund the government and allow citizens a one year exemption while the details are worked out with this program...dems say no and attack repubs and cruz. These guys are painted as racist villains, celebrity's chime in and jump on the hate bandwagon.

Now the dems propose we exempt everyone for a year? You've got to be kidding me?

And a big FU to Morgan freeman, matt Damon, tom hanks and George clooney. Looks like you guys will need to make another made for TV movie about how great the ACA is.

We may be too hard on this little glitch. ( reg trademark Obama Campaign )

It can only get better, so the current best estimates of time & cost will ACTUALLY IMPROVE!

How many Government Programs can claim that?

Seriously, it will be the Triumph of the Party. Hopefully one that will influence American Politics for years to come.

Seriously, It WILL get better.

It has to, because at todays rate, it will take 50 years to register the initial 7 million Obamacare taxees, and the cost to fix the website, ( not the ACA, the website ) will exceed the GNP of the Planet.

From this beginning, it's all downhill from here.

( in so many ways..... )

I'm not a Hannity fan. I like his political viewpoints just fine, it's his interviewing style that leaves me cold.

Wonderful! Sean Hannity Gives Fired Obamacare Operator a Year's Salary
Jim Hoft
Published on Oct 24, 2013

Earlier this week conservative radio host Sean Hannity called the Obamacare hotline and spoke to an operator.

The operator, Earline Davis, was honest and told Hannity nobody liked the website.
The next day she was fired.

Tonight Sean Hannity had Earline Davis on his television program.

He offered her a check to cover her salary for a year.

He also set up a hotline to help Earline find another job.

What a wonderful segment.
