Consumer Reports: ‘Stay Away From HealthCare.gov'

Consumer Reports, which publishes reviews of consumer products and services,advised its readers to avoid the federal healthcare exchange “for at least another month if you can.” “Hopefully that will be long enough for its software vendors to clean up the mess they’ve made,” the magazine said, having tested the site themselves over the course of the past three weeks.

Noting that only 271,000 of the 9.47 million people who tried signing up in the first week managed to create an account, Consumer Reports then provided a few tips to those attempting to slog through the application process. From attempting successive logins because “error messages … may not always match reality” to checking your inbox frequently because if you miss an e-mail you’ll be timed out of the site and forced to start from square one, none of the suggestions guaranteed success.

I love how our Pompous in Cheat needs to run to "Experts in the Private Sector" to fix the danged website! Does everybody remember, and will be reminded again, how the Government wants to oversee "Internet security"? They have by their own admission right here and now admitted their own failure at internet "security", or operability at best!

What a bunch of dolts; and yes, that means you, too, Barry Sotero!
