At Monday’s White House briefing, a reporter challenged Press Secretary Jay Carney, “if you … hit the ‘login’ button … it does take you to that screen where you’re asked to leave an email and come back later. That seems to be coming up … all day long.… is that going to be acceptable if that’s the norm for a lot of people for an extended period of time?”
“What I think is important to note,” Carney responded (repeating himself and blathering a bit) “… is that we have a queuing system made for a better user experience so that individuals could get in that queue, could be notified when was the best time to return to healthcare.gov and enroll, if they so desired.”

Bureaucratic meltdown. The Obama administration is absolutely incompetent. A complete embarrassment from the top down.
They can be embarrassed all day long. They are not going anywhere as long as Harry Reid keeps his boot on America’s throat. They are going to get more and more careless and blatent. It is like they are bored with even going through the motions on the lies.
don’t feed the beast. I have nothing to gain from this advice but the satisfaction of seeing O‑CARE fail but there is an exemption that all Christians qualify for called Med sharing. one option is Medishare. look it up. you can for about the price of your penalty join this and then you wont pay the tax or have to join the beast called ACA
