It is more than obvious that there are folks who want to throw the ACA in the lion's den. It's the Obomic plague, right (emphasis on right)?
Many of us are well aware of the efforts of the Koch-bros to put their money behind destroying it, especially in the minds of groups that might incline to investigate ACA.
And then there is the issues concerning the websites and registration.
Which got me suspecting.
Yappers like Jake Tapper and Chuck Todd are hyperventilating about the damage the website glitches are doing--hey and Jon Stewart, too. The former are committed to escalating drama so the putative NBC can look objective, while being led by their noses by corporate bosses.
As I am in that geographic area, but not working in the industry, whenever management delivers us dsyfunctional software, we ask "Aren't we in Silicon Valley?"
And yes, how could the tech-savvy president could preside over this?
I wonder about the legitimacy of reported glitches.
Are people without insurance less tech-savvy?
Before today, I never tried to log into registering for the ACA, because my employer provides. Today, I decided to find out how difficult it was theoretically.
First observation was that I had to do many searches to even find the site in my state. But once found, it didn't seem difficult. I did not go through the entire process, however.
Which leads me to ask "How were people informed of the ACA?" Who was doing the informing?
Were problems over-reported in relationship to success?
Were there people trying to muck it up on purpose?
One of the flaws cited in the news was that spouses were reported as children. Also reported was that the ACA process was going smooth in Kentucky. (Yes, insert your Appalachia joke here)
Seriously, if you think the Koch-bro is only funding pizza parties to discourage young people from investigating the ACA, isn't it credible there would be some supported effort to fuck with the system?
I welcome responses from those with greater knowledge on these possibilities.
