I have been informed by very concerned people in the media, that November 30, 2013 is one of the most important days in the Obama administration because of the "the crisis."
And by the crisis, of course, I mean the crappy website experience that many users had in the early days of the Healthcare.gov launch.
More about the crisis:
"The crisis, one of the biggest of Obama's presidency, has enormous political stakes for the administration and its Democratic allies who are heading into congressional elections next year."http://news.msn.com/...
So what's being done about the crisis? Today we will see.
WASHINGTON — Americans are getting their first look on Saturday at whether a five-week, round-the-clock technology overhaul has made it easier to use the troubled website that is the backbone of President Barack Obama's landmark healthcare overhaul.http://news.msn.com/...The White House had pledged that HealthCare.gov, which has been plagued by errors, outages, and slow speeds since its disastrous October 1 launch - would be working for most people this weekend.
So mark this day on your calendar, because today, Saturday, November 30, 2013, the media will be able to definitively report whether the crisis--"one of the biggest of Obama's presidency, [that] has enormous political stakes for the administration and its Democratic allies who are heading into congressional elections next year,"--is finally over or will continue to destroy the Obama administration and the Democratic party.
Okay media. We are waiting with bated breath. What is your determination?
The website's account creation and log-in functions appeared to work smoothly by 8 a.m. (1300 GMT) on Saturday, avoiding the crash and error messages seen at its launch. But technology specialists told Reuters that it would be difficult to independently assess whether the site has met the goal of functioning for most users most of the time, including handling 50,000 users at once.http://news.msn.com/..."There won't be anything you can tell from the outside," said Jonathan Wu, an information technology expert and co-founder of the consumer financial website ValuePenguin.
O Media.
Thank you so much for your due diligence that was absent during the run up to the war in Iraq and the rollout of Medicare D, but is there for every incarnation of this website that you do not even have to use since you can always pick up the phone to get Obamacare savings.
And thank you for putting in writing that you are only capable of definitively reporting that the website is in crisis and that it is "difficult" to determine if it is working.
So now people who are determined to spread the meme that a malfunctioning website is a disaster that is more disastrous than millions of people going bankrupt or dying without insurance can continue to do so.
Because you know, there's no way to tell if the website is working or not, because if people say the site is working that is just anecdotal and if the government says it is working that's just propaganda.
Since it's too "difficult" to prove Obamacare is working, there's no other narrative available for the media to report other than Obamacare is in crisis.
