Will Obamacare succeed where term limits failed?

[Seamus Fermanagh]

"I could give a 12-year old a hundred bucks and he'd make me a website in three hours..."

It is indeed amazing how a government healthcare database is now equal to a myspace page. But it proves the Republicans right in that people are spoiled and want things they cannot afford.

Oh come on. That kind of line is the usual snide political hyperbole. Such cheap shots have been a political norm, I feel certain, at least since the Greek city states. I dare say you could find a few home-grown German examples without stressing your google-fu all that much.

Gelcube is correct about the overwhelm factor. I put down most of the initial problems to the volume thing. Only the most recent spate of issues can be said to be design problems. It still wasn't that well thought out a web-site system -- they were planning on hits in the millions from the outset. That was the point of the program. Trouble free was never possible, but this was still a bit sloppy.
