MD Health Officials Say They Are Ready For Healthcare

Maryland health officials on Monday expressed confidence the state was ready to open its new health insurance marketplace and address problems that could arise with the large undertaking.

Becca Pearce, executive director of Maryland Health Benefit Exchange, said that while temporary setbacks relating to the online marketplace are anticipated, she's confident the state is ready to handle them.

"We are fully poised and ready to be paying attention to exactly what those issues are," Pearce said, noting problems could entail a computer server that goes down or connectivity issues. "We have a command center that's going to be up and running from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. for the next several weeks to make sure that as things come up we are ready to respond to them as quickly as possible."

Maryland Connect site crashed first thing this morning --cannot sign up. Moronic liberals in charge of implementation .Just imagine how they will determine who gets treated. Obama regime just changed the definition of "cancer" yesterday ---it's only just beginning

Yeah - so ready, that FOX News said at 8 AM or so - due to problems it would be 4 hours before Maryland was ready. Since that is government talk, wonder how long that 4 hours will really be
