ObamaCare Site Compared To “A 1970s-Era DMV Experience”
Each day it has gotten worse. The headlines coming from Healthcare.gov since it launched have made the disastrous ObamaCare news that proceeded it seem positively radiant.
Reason’s Nick Gillespie is out this morning on The Daily Beast with one of the most comprehensive indictments of Healthcare.gov since the “train wreck” pulled into the station on October 1st.
He calls the site a “colossal, expensive failure” and likens it to “a 1970s-era DMV experience into cyberspace.”
President Obama and his administration tried to explain all this away by comparing the site to a new iPhone and reasoning that when Apple finds “glitches” in its products, no one suggests they should stop selling them.
Gillespie takes a blow torch to that comparison, saying Apple revolutionized tablet and mobile computing, while their website is “an unproven program whose website seems to be infected with the Stuxnet virus.”
Gillespie’s publication was also the first to find that the man many in the administration trumpeted as one of the first to successfully enroll had not really enrolled at all. He also pointed out that it’s unbelievably hard for any media outlet to find more than a couple dozen satisfied customers.
We’re currently over two weeks in to glitch-filled debacle that is the ObamaCare website and there is no sign that it is getting better.
When you think back to the days of delaying the employer mandate, Nancy Pelosi calling the law “fabulous,” or Kathleen Sebelius admitting premiums will rise, just think…those were the “good old days.”
