K. Chumley reports for *The Washington
Times*<http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/oct/21/consumer-reports-dont-even-bother-trying-obamacare/>,
Oct. 21, 2013, that *Consumer Reports* -- the magazine that tests and
rates<http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/oct/21/consumer-reports-dont-even-bother-trying-obamacare/#>products
-- has harsh words of advice for those trying to enroll in
ObamaDoesn'tCare via the official website,
Healthcare.gov<http://www.washingtontimes.com/admin/stories/story/610758/Healthcare.gov>
.
*Consumer Reports* began testing the Unaffordable Care Act's website since
the site's launch day to test its ease of use. But from the beginning,
*Consumer
Reports* experienced problems same as those of countless Americans. The
site would slow to a crawl, then crash.
On Oct. 8, the *Consumer Reports* writers said: “One week in,
Healthcare.gov is barely operational.” By Oct. 10, the writers were losing
patience: “Healthcare.gov is slightly less terrible today. The bad news, is
that it’s still next to impossible to create a user name and password that
you can actually use to sign in. I myself have tried five times without
success<http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/oct/21/consumer-reports-dont-even-bother-trying-obamacare/#>.
Our readers report similar frustrations.”
*Consumer Reports’ final advice:* “Don’t bother even trying for another
couple of weeks. But if all this is too much for you to absorb, follow our
previous advice: *Stay away from Healthcare.gov for at least another month
if you can*.”
Ron
Fournier<http://www.nationaljournal.com/white-house/why-obama-should-be-freaked-out-over-obamacare-20131021>of
the
*National Journal* writes that *the problems with the Healthcare.gov site
go beyond what Obama this morning dismisses as mere hiccups or "kinks," but
are "embedded deeply in the online system,"* including:
- Outright inaccurate information provided to people about federal tax
credits.
- Low-income people erroneously told they don't qualify for Medicaid.
- Insurance companies getting confusing information about who has signed
up.
Fournier, who seems to favor the Unaffordable Care Act, takes Obama to
task for dismissing the extent of the website's problems while, at the same
time, deflecting blame by saying that the Republicans had fought the law
(as if the GOP had something to do with website's problems!). Fournier
concludes:
*The public's faith in government is at a record low, just as Obama is
fighting Republicans on several fronts over the size and power of the
federal bureaucracy. His administration needs to rapidly improve the online
exchanges to stand any chance of convincing, say, young Americans to pay
for insurance they don't think they need. Beyond Obamacare, the Democratic
Party's reputation for competency is as stake. The cost of the site is
already $394 million, a massive amount compared to private-sector CMS work,
and sure to grow. [...]*
*Dismissing the extent of the problem and reminding voters that Republicans
fought the law -- which is essentially all Obama did in his Rose Garden
remarks -- is a deflection, which shouldn't be confused with implementation
or governing.*
