Political Quotes

On the recordOctober 30, 2013
Much attention has been focused recently on the flawed rollout of ObamaCare. Sadly, a potential bigger problem has now emerged. Once consumers battle their way through the glitchy Web site, much of the highly sensitive personal information sent to the insurers is wrong. According to The Washington Post and Wall Street Journal, the ObamaCare Web site is sending garbled data to insurers, claiming, for example, that some enrollees have three spouses or that someone has signed up for three separate insurance plans or has enrolled and then unenrolled and then reenrolled multiple times in one day. In short, you could fight your way through the Web site, fill out all the forms correctly, and end up with the wrong insurance, the wrong subsidy, and the wrong coverage. Now is the time to end this madness. The individual mandate must be delayed by a year, and President Obama and Senator Reid must be willing to sit down with Republicans and discuss real reforms to what is quickly becoming a national disaster. ____________________
