It’s not just politics, but technology issues raising questions about the future of Obamacare, the landmark health reform spearheaded by President Barack Obama.
As the enrollment system went live October 1 for new Affordable Care Act to cover the uninsured, websites for the federal and State Governments saw overloads, crashes embarrassing the program.
“Whether you are for or against Obamacare, everyone seems to agree the Government really dropped the ball on this rollout,” said independent technology analyst Jeff Kagan.
“Why didn’t the Government ask for corporate help before the train wreckIJ” US health officials and experts said the surge of interest was positive, but the technical problems could deal a blow to the program, which aims to extend coverage to millions of Americans lacking insurance.
