What a perfect example of how the US gov't has become completely hopeless when it comes to implementing anything technological.
WWII-era US gov't:
1938: Nuclear fission discovered.
1945: US drops two working nuclear bombs.
Modern US gov't:
1969: DARPA funds ARPANET.
1991: World Wide Web goes public.
2013: US gov't can't make a functional website for less than seven figures, even with a year plus of notice.

So I went to healthsherpa and tried it out. It's super fast, works well.
Except, It mapped my zip code wrong.
Tell them you would like to purchase health exchange coverage, specifically the Blue Value Platinum 500 for Chatham County, NC.
I live in Wake County, next door.

That's what probably costs that half billion dollars.

I'm sure there's some law making it illegal for the government to use their website.

Sure there is. Those 3 dudes did things too efficiently. The politicians need to cloak their bribery with huge, wasteful initiatives. That makes it illegal by the unwritten laws of DC.

I hate that state.
The California Endowment, a private foundation that is spending millions to promote President Barack Obama's signature law, recently provided a $500,000 grant to ensure TV writers and producers have information about the Affordable Care Act that can be stitched into plot lines watched by millions.

Captain hindsight chimes in.
Attorney General Eric Holder said on Monday that accused September 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four alleged co-conspirators would already have been convicted and set for execution if they had been tried in civilian courts as Holder wanted in 2009.
Go fuck yourself and do something useful about the present, you shitty excuse for colostomy bag run-off.

I bet they also could have made a better healthcare website.

Obama is proud of the blood on his hands.
Who the fuck brags about something like that?
Top hospitals are opting out of Obamacare.
We already knew "you can keep your insurance" was bullshit. Now "keep your doctor and get treatment everywhere" is also bullshit.

Federal gov't: International treaties trump local law.
What had the justices up in arms was Verrilli's assertion that a federal law implementing the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1997 was used properly against 42-year-old Carol Anne Bond for an attack that burned the thumb of her husband's lover.
To repeat: an international chemical weapons treaty set up in '97 is being used to prosecute a woman who burned the thumb of the chick her husband was humping. Did she do something criminal? Yeah. Why the fuck is this a federal case, though? This is fucking stupid.
Precedent?
In defending their prosecution, federal officials cite a 1920 precedent, Missouri v. Holland, in which the Supreme Court ruled Congress could supersede state jurisdiction when implementing a treaty — in that case, a pact with Canada on the treatment of migratory birds.
I can see a lot of similarities between early twentieth century ornithology and twenty-first century chemical weapons.

My health care plan rocks ass, even though the chief architect quit last week.
Tony Trenkle is the chief information officer at the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the agency that built the Affordable Care Act’s online portal. He is in charge of Henry Chao, a deputy chief information officer at Medicare whose name came up in congressional hearings as the source of key HealthCare.gov decisions.
...
“Our chief operating officer announced yesterday Tony has accepted a position in private sector,” Medicare spokeswoman Julie Bataille told reporters this afternoon.

RALEIGH, N.C. — "Women drivers, rain and Obama care" were causing problems on the beltline Wednesday afternoon, according to a traffic alert from the North Carolina Department of Transportation. "Stay home," the alert advised.
Seems legit.

The government is now paying for your health care. You think they won't eliminate everything "unhealthy?" Carbonated, sugary beverages are on the list for the future, I am sure. Anything with sugar, really.

Raise minimum wage.
In other words, this bill would make it more expensive to hire workers and cheaper to buy the technology to replace them.
Go on, do it.
