The to-date cost of the glitchy Obamacare website has topped $1 billion, easily surpassing the $394 million originally estimated by the Government Accountability Office, according to a Bloomberg Government analysis.It’s important to note that the Bloomberg analysis runs through Sept. 30, just before the 16-day partial government shutdown. So the final cost may be more than $1 billion.
Editor's notes: It is one huge lie after another, with this bunch of Marxist Misfits (Progressive theory does have its roots in communism and the thinking of Karl Marx). The latest is the realization that the Fed's first announced estimate of $160 million, followed by admissions of more than $400 million (told to us for the past two months) was never close to being true. Rather, the truth is more than $1 billion dollars, with $3.5 million of that total being spent during the six months just before the October roll-out date.
Understand that that the Democrats had played up the 16 day partial shutdown, as something that cost the American taxpayer $24 billion dollars, a "catastrophic" total that would spell "d.e.f.e.a.t" for the GOP in 2014. Remember? Of course not, because that "24 billion" total was a figure pulled out of Obama's backside. Turns out, the "shutdown" only effected 8% of the population, and almost all of that effect was temporary, involving government wages that were paid immediately following Sept 30 and the end of the so-called "shutdown."
Know this: ObamaCare is a rotting albatross tied around the Democrats' political necks, and will remain an elective crisis through 2014 and into the 2016 election cycle beginning in late 2015. There is no getting around this fact - ObamaCare is "all on" the Progressive Democrats with not a single Republican voting for this abortive legislation, conservative or liberal. "They" wanted it that way, somehow believing that their healthcare "reform" would be their ticket to "permanent rule" as the only party of choice for an appreciative voting public. Turns out that only 30% of the indigent poor are "flocking" to ObamaCare, none with any serious money, all of them being placed into the money pit known as "Medicaid," and less than 20% of healthy America joining the cause. Approximately 200,000 have "signed up" for coverage during the first two months, when the Administration needed 2.2 million signees to meat their expectations. "Colossal" does not begin to capture the extent of failure relating to this program and its "roll-out."
It is obvious, now, that none of the ObamaCare website was completed by October 1, none of it. In the six months before the October deadline, Administration gave up on the "back functions" and directed all its attention the front end of this site, that part the American people would see first. The back end of this website, the part that collates and forwards all applicant information to the various insurance companies, simply does not exist. The Obama Administration has spent more than 1 billion dollars on 60% of its website, with millions more needed to complete that "60%," not to mention the writing, testing and security of the remaining and unwritten 40%. Can anyone say "Two billion?"
I have never thought the current Administration was qualified, professionally, for the leadership of this once great nation. Now that we are facing the reality of ObamaCare, their wonderful words and Utopian theory have gone the way of the wind. And their problems do not end with website issues. We now know that the supposed "savings to the economy" promised by Obama/Pelosi/Ried, has evaporated into a 3 trillion dollar deficit . . . . . and counting. Social Security owes itself 17 trillion dollars; Medicare is 42 trillion in debt and ObamaCare, the 800 pound gorilla by comparison, is on track to dwarf either our two largest socialist programs . . . . and the beat goes on.
