That’s the only logical conclusion available when you consider that the creators of this federal boondoggle included a rule book so vast and so complicated that not even the software for the program’s 36 insurance exchange web sites works. Nor is it likely to anytime soon.
“These regulations are often called ‘business rules,'” computer programmer and PJMedia blogger Richard Fernandez writes, “and they have to be implemented in software. The Obamacare ruleset is now reportedly eight times the length of the Bible and still growing. This has had unavoidable results…
“If it’s designed to provide cheap and quality health care then maybe we’re S.O.L. since some things seem doomed from their conception to fail due to some fundamental violation of the rules of physics or mathematics. As a health care system it appears perverse. But as something else … why…”
It certainly seems to have been designed to fail and the only reason for that would be to allow the Democrats to do what they’ve wanted to do since Ted-the-Red was their sachem: Dispense with health insurance entirely and nationalize everything. Doctors, hospitals, drug companies, the works. Want an operation? Call the 800 number and wait, and wait, and wait…
UPDATE: At the very least, the exchanges software was botched by the usual politically-connected cronies, according to this InfoWorld piece, provided by Mr. Goon. I still contend that could have been intended all along as a feature, and is not really a bug.
MORE: Thus far (Oct. 19) the administration is either lying about what has happened or is refusing to talk about it. And his lapdog media also is silent. How amusing. Mr. Transparency. Mr. Bring-Us-Together. What a phony.
