Are you confident in Obamacare yet?


Obama and his cohorts say that the wait for help on the Obamacare lines and internet sites is a good thing. Just look at all the people who want to sign up. However, they won't tell us how many people are actually signing up, and they say they won't release that number until November. Think about it -- if thousands and thousands were signing up, don't you think Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and Obammy would all be hogging the cameras saying, "We told you so"?

At any rate, I saw some interesting quotes and justifications for the "glitches" the system is experiencing. I especially like this one:

"It's like building a bridge from two sides of the river; you just hope it comes out in the middle. Usually you do a lot more testing than we've had time to do." Do engineers really build bridges that way? I thought there was a lot more precision to it than that. I'm not sure I feel real good about driving my car over a bridge that's been constructed by eyeballing it. They haven't had time to do testing? Haven't they known for three years this was going to happen? How much time do they need?

Tim McKinney, the president and chief executive of United Way of Tarrant County has one of the nation's biggest teams of enrollment counselors. Of the first and second days of enrollment, he said, "We haven't gotten anyone all the way through the process." Total number who signed up for Obamacare with one of the largest enrollment teams? Zero.

So, when it comes time for Obamacare to approve your next surgery, are you confident the "glitches" will be gone?
