is health.care act web site obama's katrina?

The web site was expected to be problematic. It turned out to be a disaster.
Obama dodged a bullet on Syria. He came out on top in shutdown.
but this website could put his most important legislation in disarray.
Poor handling of Katrina killed Bush's presidency.
is this obama's Katrina?

According to Tea partyers: Any and all deaths that occurred after Obamacare opened for business are blamed on it. Obama can refer to his pocket Koran.

How many of afghanIstan deaths are you willing to put at obama's feet?
how many people did obama kill among the 285 fatalities during katrina?
the question is about administrative efficiency.
aca website problems are very predictable. infact they were expected. it is the most important public contact related to the act. Stupid republicans gave him a pass with shutdown. After two weeks the president comes out and says he is mad. who is responsible? his white house got a big break in Syria but aca website is nor a overnight fix. it will bite obama and his team big time.
it is in timeso like this a president can prove himself. i see a katrina. an avoidable but certain disaster.

This will be much worse than Katrina if not fixed; good thing is majority of Americans are smart enough to separate the law from website issues.

Yep. That is why a majority were against the law even before the website woes.

"only one third of Americans support repealing the law. A sizable bloc of those who oppose the law want it to continue, anyway.
The poll finds that 46 percent support the law, versus 54 percent who oppose it or are unsure of their feelings about it. But that second bloc breaks down into 33 percent who oppose and want repeal, versus 20 percent who oppose the law and want to let the law go ahead. That means a total of 66 percent either support the law or oppose it but want it to go forward."

"The Obama administration announced late yesterday that 800,000 people have signed up for new health insurance so far in March. That brings the total under the Affordable Care Act to over 5 million and makes it likely that 6 million will have enrolled by March 31, the last day to sign up before getting a fine. That 6 million number would meet a projection made by the Congressional Budget Office. So what are we to make of those numbers?"

And Republicans work like dogs to undermine the law and make sure it helps as few people as possible, then hold up their success at denying the law’s benefits to their own citizens as evidence that the law was misconceived in the first place. Nowhere is this more evident than on the issue of the expansion of Medicaid, where most Republican-controlled states have said no to the federal government’s offer of billions of dollars in what is essentially free money to get coverage for poor Americans.

Most cruelly, many of the states that have refused to accept the Medicaid expansion are those where Medicaid benefits are most stingy to begin with. Each state sets its own eligibility levels, and not too surprisingly, states run by Republicans tend to set them extremely low. So for instance, if you’re a single parent in Alabama with two kids and you earn a princely $3,221 a year, the state considers you too wealthy to get Medicaid. In Texas, which has more people living without health insurance than any other state, that figure is $3,737. Millions of the working poor could have gotten coverage from Medicaid through the expansion, but their state legislators and governors quite literally believe that it’s better for a poor person to have no health coverage at all than to get coverage from the government.

The ability to quickly correct some of the gross errors of website proves how badly mismanaged the original attempt was. It forced the president to apologize to the nation and put dens on defensive going into 2014 mid term elections. That is the Katrina affect. It stands for govt failure on an important issue where they could have done a better job. It means you handed a weapon to your enemy to hurt you.

"More than 6 million Americans have signed up for private health insurance under the Affordable Care Act, the White House announced Thursday, reflecting a surge in enrollment after months of technical problems prevented many people from picking a plan.

There were more than 1.5 million visits to the Web site and more than 430,000 calls to federal call centers Wednesday, administration officials said."

Obama's katrina is laying golden eggs already. a recent Florida by election victory for republicans is described as an indicator of 2014 by elections. Gop is certain to retain house and is well poised to regain senate according obama's favorite statistician .nate silver.

Democrats running in five highly competitive governors races this year have vowed to expand Medicaid coverage through ObamaCare if they are elected, something that could result in 1.7 million new people getting covered…

I was a staunch Obamacare supporter. But, I am not a supporter any more in its present form.

those who buy insurance have such a high "paydown" they cannot afford to get tests or see specialists. And, worse many many specialists dont take patients with this Obamacare patients.

THIS requires major rework. He needs to roll out Version 2.
