DomKen -> Exchanges pool (9/30/2013 8:23:59 PM)

In a few minutes the exchanges will open for sign ups and despite certain parties best efforts a lot of people will take advantage of the chance to begin getting quality affordable health insurance. The question is how many hits will healthcare.gov get in the first day>?

I'm guessing 5 million.




DaNewAgeViking -> RE: Exchanges pool (9/30/2013 11:27:24 PM)

All bullshit aside, it will be interesting to see how many people really do sign up in - say - the first 30 days. That will be the final Truth of the whole thing.

I'm going to guess it will be much higher than that. Even people with health insurance through employers might wander through to check it out. Curiosity will abound.



slavekate80 -> RE: Exchanges pool (10/1/2013 8:44:39 AM)

I tried to sign up and look at my options (I have no health insurance presently) but the site bugged out on step 3 and then said the service was not available. I'll have to try at a weird time like 1AM when fewer people will be trying to check it out.



deathtothepixies -> RE: Exchanges pool (10/1/2013 5:40:36 PM)

I pay tax and I have a national health service.

it's pretty good even though I don't use it.

I'm glad it exists.

I am happy to pay for it.



DaNewAgeViking -> RE: Exchanges pool (10/2/2013 3:38:29 AM)

You make a good point, Pixies: your health care system is there for when you need it - and you will eventually need it, trust me. I'm sure the TeaBaggers will some day wish they had a health care system like you do. Trust me on that, too.

From Bloomberg with the unsupported title of "Obamacare Demands Signals Potential Success for Exchanges"
Wow, when I read that I thought, ummm, guess the left wing was right...but then I read the article and guess what, total failure.
"While Connecticut’s site had 28,000 web hits as of 4 p.m. yesterday, only 167 people applied for coverage, said Kathleen Tallarita, a spokeswoman with Access Health CT, the state’s exchange."

Apparently empty "hits" equal success to the Left. Empty as in no substance as in nobody signing up. I could afford doughnuts for all who signed up in Connecticut yesterday.

Lets toast to Obamacares continued "success".



Arturas -> RE: Exchanges pool (10/2/2013 12:26:24 PM)

Okay, to be fair it was more than a dozen that I predicted. It was about thirteen dozen. I can even afford fresh doughnuts for all who signed up in that whole state. Impressive that I can do that, not Obamacare popularity and the Exchanges pool. Sorry. The opening kickoff of any game can kill you if the other side scores early and the Right scored and the left fumbled.



mnottertail -> RE: Exchanges pool (10/2/2013 12:31:20 PM)

Apparently not by a damn sight. I note that there was a republican in a minneapolis airport bathroom once, that was convicted for soliciting during a republican national convention.


Teabaggers admit they are all convicted of solicitation. (theres your headline)
This means that all teabaggers/republicans/independents/conservatives are flaming queens and convicted of soliciting.


That about agree with your premises?



Arturas -> RE: Exchanges pool (10/2/2013 12:32:21 PM)

That was a lot of hits. I wonder if there is some hidden Right Wing conspiracy, like the war on Women, only it is a Cyber War on the children and the poor uninsured. That's it. Somebody call MSNBC, I'll bet they will agree.

Ah, ah...no no...this post is using pronouns and we have all agreed that is a no, no, and it lacks any visual continuity or otherwise with reality.



mnottertail -> RE: Exchanges pool (10/2/2013 12:35:07 PM)

Look at the number of hits on this dogshit derail by the teabaggers. They also think they have some popularity, but the reality doesn't bear that out.

I fear this post does not have anything to do with the subject of Exchanges Pool and I must report it to the Gendarmes.

Oops, another one.



mnottertail -> RE: Exchanges pool (10/2/2013 1:41:11 PM)

It certainly has a laser like focus on the exchanges, and points out the feeble mindedness and ineptitude of the attempted synecdoche, because it certainly is not one, and the corollary is a irrefutable proof of the derail you have undertaken.

But report away if you feel you must. Free country and all that shit.

Maybe you think every person who logged on had no thinking to do and had all the needed info at their fingertips?

I'll leave it to the not brain dead deadender right wingers to extrapolate the estimated nationwide totals.



DaNewAgeViking -> RE: Exchanges pool (10/2/2013 5:57:18 PM)

It's highly probable that lots of people logged in just to take a look around and size things up, and will make up their minds and come back to enroll later. That's what I would certainly do. So this doesn't show a lack of enthusiasm (there were all those hits after all) as much as some basic common sense on the 'Liberal' side. Fancy that.

We had, what? 48 million uninsured? That includes kids, so there won't be 48 million attempting to check things out. Most likely, husbands and wives won't check it out separately, either.

I think, wholeheartedly, that the majority of the clicks were from the curious. While there will be plenty of people signing up in the next 3 months, the crush that is crippling the system is neither indicative of the overwhelming love people have for Obamacare as Democrats will shrill, nor is it indicative of a completely shoddy system the Republicans will grouse about.

I, personally, expected the servers to be jammed and the site to be slammed. Why that shocks anyone with half a brain, I don't know.



mnottertail -> RE: Exchanges pool (10/3/2013 6:59:35 AM)

I think that as in minnesota, the national database was swamped witch led to very few people being able to sign up, since information from the fed database could not be delivered.
