I gave them ten days to clean out the bugs. Should be plenty.
Short summary: It's a fucking joke. If it weren't so bloody serious to so many people and to our party it would be laughable. THIS clusterfuck is the face of Obamacare. The process looks like it was designed by Homer Simpson with input from Beavis and Butthead. I've been going for a couple hours now and I still haven't finished putting in my information. And since there were errors along the way, and the rest of the process has been so poorly designed, I suspect that I will need to do it all over again.
But it's mandated.
Answer one question, wait five minutes. Answer the next. Wait five minutes. Answer the next, wait five minutes. Please wait... Please wait... Please wait... Please... Oh god, please just fucking kill me now... wtf

apnu (5,096 posts) His critque is accurate.
In this day and age, with the technology hanging around in America, there's no excuse for this. Especially with 3 years of time to develop it a site that cost over 600 million dollars to develop.
They could be hosting this on Amazon's cloud services that would have all the muscle they need to scale up to the needs of a nation of 300 million people. Google has that too. Plus there's tons of other hosting services and data farms if you don't like Amazon's CEO (I hate the guy) or if you don't trust Google because they give 50/50 to Republicans and Democrats.
Its a bad deployment. I hope they get it fixed soon. We, the American people, desperately need this.

Demo Chris again: Two points: First, it's a freaking website and database, not a moon shot
Are you seriously suggesting that this is some kind of complicated high tech process? They have had YEARS to build this thing, and ten days to repair what should have been unexpected bugs. Somehow Google manages to handle over FIVE BILLION searches per day, displaying hundreds or thousands of results, and do it within seconds, yet we are supposed to believe that "Is your spouse a male or female" should properly take five minutes to process?
Second, are you actually trying to claim that people who are generally supporters of Obamacare are NOT experiencing problems?
For the record: As a leftist liberal I do not support corporatism of any kind, I do not support mandates, and I damn sure do not support fucking the poor and near-poor so the wealthy can get cheaper insurance. None of which has anything to do with my experiences on this website. If it worked, that's what I would report.
