Does the number 51,000 mean anything?
That's the first week. If everyone had been able to access the sign up to completion without getting 401 error messages or computer freezes, there would have been a lot more.
I tried accessing the site on Day 1 and saw exactly what I knew I was going to see: a server crashing because I'm in New Jersey.
People will wait weeks to get a new iPhone, specifically the under 30 crowd, but they may not be too keen to sign up quickly on healthcare.gov.
Three and a half years, more than $600,000,000.00 (paid by taxpayers) and we get a website that isn't functional...
Just sayin'...
Google used to freeze up when they became the search engine du jour in 2003, too. Jeff Bezos ran into similar bandwidth and hard disk space when Amazon had exponential bursts of growth.
There was no way the servers for 34 states could be tested without literally millions of people trying to log on at the same time. I knew the site was going to crash months ago, way before October 1. It was a no-brainer.
The salient point remains that it's about the spin, not the facts.

Actually, Google was fine in 2003. I know because I used it to do plenty of research for high school projects with it.
Stop making excuses. The way you iron out kinks in server function is to do alpha and beta testing on the software and coding. You can't simply hope to have all of it work right off the bat. This is simple server mechanics, NoTea. Amazon has 20 million visitors a day now. The Obamacare servers were unable to handle 2 million. Pathetic.

Did Google use more than $600,000,000.00 million dollars of taxpayer money for its development and launch?
No?
Alrighty then...

This is not spin:
Canadian firm hired to build troubled Obamacare exchanges | WashingtonExaminer.com
why didn't he hire apple, google, facebook, bing or some american firm to develop it?
Last night on Bill Maher's show Chris Matthews nailed the right's rant about how Obamacare is not working.
To paraphrase, "Why is it that Apple can announce a new iPhone and two hours later run out of stock and can't fill orders and that's called a success?"

Google is a private enterprise funded by investors, not federal LAW.
Want to link that $600M figure to a verifiable source because bloggers are not held to the truth, just throwing more chum to their trained seals.

Looks like you're the trained seal if you bought the $600M lie. It cannot be corroborated anywhere but Fox News is quoting $93M. Is your chum tasty this morning? Bark and clap, boy.

Since it's not the number of hits the site received, it means nothing.
That's how many managed to enroll. Out of 2.5 million people. Go learn some statistics.

I never used the 600M figure. But I guess you think that 93M is chump change.
But you ignored my question about obama using a canadian firm to develop the website. I thought you hated evil americans who outsource work. more hypocrisy or are you pissed that he hired a canadian firm?

Republican Meme for the year prior to Oct 1st 2013: "Obamacare" is unpopular, people hate it. It's going to be a failure. It's the most horriblist worstest thing ever in the history of forever.
Oct 1st millions of people flock to exchanges (despite the constant refrain of how unpopular it is and how much people will hate it) and the sites (who thought they would only get a handful of hits) crashed. Imagine that.
You don't have to buy it the first day. You have months and months to get signed up before tax penalties will be assessed when you file your 2014 taxes in 2015...you even have time to save up the $95 you'd have to pay if you decide to burden the rest of us for your healthcare.
Or...you could get a job that provides it like most of the country. I hear the Army is looking for a few good men. Great socialist healthcare there!

You endorsed the quote, dumbass. So own it.
I read the article in the Examiner. The job was awarded to the American arm of CGI in Fairfax, VA and received the contract because their Canadian owner created Canada's single payer online system.
No one is forcing anyone to buy an I phone.
The analogy fails.
The analogy has nothing to do with the individual mandate and is right on the money. The GOP has been gleefully pointing to the glitches in the Exchanges as evidence of it's failure and yet glitches in the rollout of new software or hardware isn't greeted the same.

CGI Federal is a subsidiary of Montreal-based CGI Group. With offices in Fairfax, Va., the subsidiary has been a darling of the Obama administration, which since 2009 has bestowed it with $1.4 billion in federal contracts, according to USAspending.gov.
The company is deeply embedded in Canadas single-payer system. CGI has provided IT services to the Canadian Ministries of Health in Alberta, British Columbia, New Brunswick, Quebec and Saskatchewan, as well as to the national health provider, Health Canada, according to CGI's Canadian website.
As Canadas No. 1 IT provider, the company states on its website that 95 federal departments, agencies, and crown corporations and most of Canadas provinces partner with the firm.
