HealthCare.gov: What you need to know, but wish you didn't

Below are links to stories you NEED to read about ObamaCare's HealthCare.gov website. I thought it would be nice to be to post these related stories on one page for easy reference.

HEALTHCARE.GOV WAS PLANNED TO FAIL

Forbes: Obamacare's Website Is Crashing Because It Doesn't Want You To Know How Costly Its Plans Are



From the article...
HHS didn’t want users to see Obamacare’s true costs
“Healthcare.gov was initially going to include an option to browse before registering,” report Christopher Weaver and Louise Radnofsky in the Wall Street Journal. “But that tool was delayed, people familiar with the situation said.” Why was it delayed? “An HHS spokeswoman said the agency wanted to ensure that users were aware of their eligibility for subsidies that could help pay for coverage, before they started seeing the prices of policies.” (Emphasis added.)

  3 KIDS BUILD FUNCTIONING OBAMACARE SITE IN 3 DAYS
 
Proving, I think, that HealthCare.gov was planned to be a failure. Three 20 years-olds build a working, functioning ObamaCare site in three days. So three kids in their spare time over three days did what huge firms in three years and over $600 million dollars couldn't do.

MAJOR SECURITY FLAWS

The Weekly Standard: Why the President Will Euthanize HealthCare.gov in 2014

The takeaway paragraph form this article is...

"Several major media organizations have confirmed first-hand how easy it is to hack into HealthCare.gov. As just one example of some of the issues, an expert hired by CNN found that the system: (1) confirmed a guessed user name; (2) exposed unencrypted source code in the browser that allowed access to the password resetting mechanism; and (3) with the user name and the reset code, displayed a person’s three security answers. The resulting damage will not be limited to other sensitive data in the exchanges. Since many systems use the same security questions, theft of these answers will allow hackers, directly and indirectly, to access Americans’ bank accounts, brokerage accounts and other sensitive data bases. CNN concluded that this kind of theft from HealthCare.gov “wouldn’t have even taken a skilled hacker.


Confidence building isn't it???

DEFINITION OF AN ENROLLEE

This Washington Post article shows the administration knows no bounds to their lies, lying about lies, and deceptive techniques to prop up ObamaCare and the pitiful enrollment numbers thus far.

Now the administration is changing what an "enrollee" is. An enrollee is no longer someone who has completed the process and is an actual paying customer. An enrollee is now anyone who got through the process and placed an order in the shopping cart, BUT has yet to actually purchase the product. That in the eyes of the administration is an enrollee. Is that how Amazon determines a book being SOLD...if it is just in your cart? I don't think so.


Washington Post: Who counts as an Obamacare enrollee? The Obama administration settles on a definition.

FIRM EMABARRASSED TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH HEALTHCARE.GOV

Teal Media was the design firm for HealthCare.gov. They removed all references from their site to their work they did on HealthCare.gov I'm sure due to embarrassment of being associated in any way with the failed website now worldwide. Once the story was reported, they quickly added the references to HeathCare.gov back on their site. HOWEVER, they want you to know that they are ONLY responsible for the "look and feel" of the website. I'm not sure they should have caved to the pressure. I think their original plan to distance themselves completely from the HealthCare.gov was the wiser move. I wonder how much business will drop off?
