I try to avoid politics on this site. I really do.. but it crops up, rears its multi-faceted head, and takes over the posts here quite a bit..
From the WASHINGTON POST, we learn that Republicans are in fear of the health exchange networks, where people can go and choose insurance under the Affordable Care Act.. the POST says that the websites were crashing because of the amount of people trying to figure out of they qualify for some type of coverage.. (Here’s the source for your reading pleasure) ..
And from the UK DAILY MAIL, we have this: They report that less than 1% of the people actually going to the websites are signing up – maybe because they cannot? I don’t know. (Here is that source)..
I suppose this is going to be hotly debated. Oh, and the government is shut down. In case our lawbreakers of the Republic don’t know.
While we debate on whether people are flocking to these sites and causing high-traffic and outages, consider this fact: The Obama Administration has yet to actually tell us how many people signed up on the exchanges.. And apparently, according to some desperate to find new insurance or insurance at all, the websites are working ‘worse’ today than yesterdayy..
