oregon, the state website has failed in its entirety. you re seeing this lovely little ad, just basically sending people to a website that does not work, didn t work on october 1, didn t work november 1 and doesn t work today. they have to do everything on paper applications. that s awful. the ad is terrible and the system is terrible. but you have so many folks that think they ve done everything correctly, they ve sent in the forms, they re waiting for the bill, how do they pay for it. and they haven t gotten their cards yet. they think they have insurance, they re not sure they have insurance. they hope they don t get hit by a bus and have to go to a hospital tomorrow. the message to oregon is stay home and don t play with knives in the kitchen. you re really hoping for that
for obamacare will be when america comes back from its break. the media will focus on the website and the administration is saying it will work better than it did on october 1. well, it didn t work on october 1. they are discouraging reports are they are discouraging allied organizations from pushing people to the website on monday for fear it will collapse and they are looking for alternative ways to sign up people. even if you have a good experience on signing up, there is a part of the website that transmits the information to insurance companies that is still broken which means it will add to the cost of getting you signed up and perhaps even delaying people past the january 1 start date. bill: you mentioned in the new york times we were told they want people to talk about obamacare over thanksgiving dinner.
