Surprise, Surprise: More Healthcare.gov Glitches Over A Year After The Website Rollout

It’s been over a year since Healthcare.gov was unveiled and promptly became a stunning failure.

AP’s Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar published a piece this morning documenting even more glitches for the famed ObamaCare website:

“The goof is a mistranslation in large type on the home page of the Spanish-language version of the site. It’s the very first word on the page. Trying to translate ‘get ready,’ someone came up with the wrong word in Spanish.”

“The Spanish-language site had lots of problems last year, ranging from technology issues to clunky translations that left some native speakers puzzled. The administration struggled to sign up Hispanics, the nation’s largest minority and more likely to be uninsured than other ethnic groups.”

“This time, the website designers translated “get ready” as preparase. It should have been preparese – with an “e” instead of an “a.” The same mistake appears three times on the Spanish home page, which is supposed to be a mirror-image of HealthCare.gov. Such a prominent error can unintentionally send a message that the site was not designed to professional standards.”

It’s just as galling though that Alonso-Zaldivar reminded readers the website won’t begin displaying 2015 premiums until the second week of November…just after the midterm elections in which ObamaCare is a major factor.

Healthcare.gov, a year later: it’s still not fixed and it’s still hurting us.
