Look, there's no more noble undertaking than fighting desperately to ensure that poor working people can't access affordable healthcare. The Republican Party is utterly committed to preserving their freedom to sicken, suffer and die. Shutting down the government, even tanking the credit of the greatest country in the world, is a natural step in this righteous crusade. And if you doubt or disdain their heroic devotion to this principle, you're a lefty hack denizen of Back She Kos.

This is what happens when a big chunk of the people in the government want to destroy that very government. The south has indeed risen again.

I've speculated about this as well and have absolutely no doubt they'd do this. The only question is whether there actually is such a creature as a "Republican programmer."

Also, I would be really excited about Elizabeth Warren for President, but she's in her late 60s, she's doesn't have much political experience, and she's from Massachusetts.

I work with a lot of programmers and I can assure you that many of them are Republicans.

The Republican position is unfathomably amoral to me on this point.

Elizabeth Warren is my hero. I'd drive through a blizzard to vote for her. Alas, it will never happen.

The Democratic monopoly on tech talent right now is pretty incredible.

I don't think it's plausible for programmers of any ilk to intentionally sabotage the site, unless it's a group effort. There's two many controls and checks and balances in a large software development organization.

When you consider that no insurance is better than Medicaid and that poor people need to be more self-reliant, it makes perfect sense.

Being an exchange, they somehow need the insurance companies to provide data (plans, prices, etc.). And with budget cuts precluding the procurement of infrastructure upgrades... they shoulda just contracted it out to PriceLine and let Shatner pimp it.

The Verge had a great article on the roll out of the healthcare.gov site.

But that's counterproductive. You need the poor in order to keep the worker bees in their place. Living examples for the wage slaves to be thankful they have a job and to keep their mouths shut.

A pure heart is more important than the actual solution posed. How very Machiavellian of you, even if his most famous quotation wasn't actually written by him (The ends justify the means).

Too bad the lies from the right aren't as entertaining.

Really, the radical GOP has fought ACA on every front ever since it was passed, even after the SC validated the law. I don't know what word you would give to a group of people deliberately undermining a law written by a democratically elected congress, signed by a democratically elected president (who campaigned on the law and then following through on that campaign promise), and then ratified by a constitutionally appointed supreme court. I'm not sure what is the right word to use. No doubt you would pick something like "patriot," or just find a way to excuse their actions, but I guess when I see criminals (oh, yeh, that's the right word) deliberately undermine a law, especially one designed to help a lot of average people, I get pissed off. If you want to believe that these people wouldn't mess with the website rollout when they have done everything else, both moral and immoral, they could to stop the law, then go right ahead and believe it. I think it's naive to think that way. They certainly didn't, you know, do their jobs and try to help implement the law. Too bad they won't be treated the same way you and I would be treated if we interfered with a law's implementation.

by **Werthless** » Sat Oct 19, 2013 21:58:17

And when the executive branch decided not to faithfully execute part of the law and delay the employer mandate? That was OK because they mean well? Go on.

Tell us more about the sabotage going on in the implementation of the ACA.

Edit: I take no joy in people's frustration at being unable to sign up for insurance as promised. I do take joy in seeing the predictable outcome of a poorly designed law being implemented. In the same way that I will take chuckle at the reports 6 months from now at the "surprisingly low proportion of newly insured people that signed up without subsidies or health problems." The so-called "young invincibles" will not jump through these hoops to pay extra.
