1% Of Those That Got Through Exchanges Are Enrolled

Surprising. I lived in Central Louisiana for a year and still have relatives who live there. Seemed pretty poor to me. Of course, I lived there in the 80's....so things obviously have changed.
I'm from metro New Orleans. Outside of nawlins, Baton Rouge and Lafayette the rest of the state is poor white trash teabaggers
 
The Obamacare clusterfuck...when has the government ever done anything as well as the private sector?

the Myth that the private sector is infalable.


Tell me how well your private sector did when it electrocuted troops in Iraq who were trying to take a shower and then tell me how many companies go belly up every year?

these companies don't live anymore because the private sector is NOT infalable






#1: Lehman Brothers

With General Motors becoming the 99th American company this year to go under, the current year may go into record books with a dubious distinction of having maximum number of public company bankruptcies.

So far, the record is held by 2001, when as many as 263 companies filed for bankruptcy in the entire 12 months.

lehman-bros

However, the average for both 2001 and the current year are almost same at about 20 bankruptcies a month or about five in a week. Taking into account the fact that there are only five working days in a week, the average could also be termed as one publicly-held company going belly up every working day.

Washington Mutual

#2: Washington Mutual

While it remains to be seen whether 2009 would break the record of 2001 in terms of number of bankruptcies, it has already breached all records in terms of the assets of the companies seeking bankruptcy protection.

Already, three of this year’s bankrupt companies — GM, Chrysler and Thornburg Mortgage — have found place among the 10 biggest ever bankruptcies in the American history.

#3: WorldCom

GM’s is the fourth biggest so far, while it is the largest ever industrial bankruptcy in the US.

The biggest bankruptcy in 2001 was that of energy giant Enron, which is now the fifth biggest company to go under in the American history.

#4: General Motors

In terms of employees too, GM, with a staff size of 243,000, is probably the second biggest ever bankruptcy.

It is only next to retailer KMart Corp, now part of Sears Holdings, which had about 10,000 more employees when it filed for bankruptcy in 2002.

enron

#5: Enron

Taking into account the last few months of 2007, the current economic crisis has accounted for five out of the 10 biggest ever bankruptcies in the US.

Making the current crisis even worse, the five new entrants to this dubious league account for more than 80 per cent of the top ten in terms of the asset size of the bankrupt companies.

The five bankruptcies in the current economic crisis together account for assets worth about $1.2 trillion, as against about $250 billion for the rest five.

#6. Conseco

GM is the fourth biggest ever bankruptcy candidate in the US, next only to those of Lehman Brothers, Washington Mutual and WorldCom.

Lehman Brothers and WaMu also went belly up in the current economic crisis itself, while that of once iconic telecom brand WorldCom happened in 2002.

crysler

#7: Chrysler

Another auto giant Chrysler fell into bankruptcy about a month ago and is the seventh biggest so far in the US history.

Energy giant Enron in 2001 and insurance and finance major Conseco in 2002 are the fifth and sixth biggest ever bankruptcies respectively so far.

thornburg-mortgage

#8: Thornburg Mortgage

Others in top 10 bankruptcy list include residential mortgage lender Thornburg Mortgage Inc (eighth), electricity and natural gas firm Pacific Gas and Electric Company (ninth) and petroleum major Texaco (tenth).

#9: Pacific Gas and Electric Company

Lehman became the first major victim of the current crisis when it went bankrupt on September 15, 2008 with assets worth $691 billion and debt of $613 billion.

It was soon followed by the country’s largest savings and loan holding company WaMu, which went bankrupt on September 26, 2008, and its $327 billion asset was immediately sold to J P Morgan Chase for mere $1.9 billion.

#10: Texaco

The auto sector started falling apart a few months later and Chrysler filed for bankruptcy on April 30, 2009, with assets worth $ 39.3 billion. The very next day, Thornburg Mortgage followed with assets of $ 36.5 billion.

GM has become the latest to join the list as fourth biggest bankruptcy with assets worth $91 billion.

The third biggest bankruptcy candidate so far, WorldCom, had gone belly up in July 2002 with $107 billion.

Besides, Enron had gone bankrupt in December 2001 with $63.4 billion in assets, while Conseco filed for bankruptcy protection in December 2002 with assets worth $65.5 billion.
 
The primary problem is that people are going to the healthcare.gov site when their particular enrollment exchanges are within their particular states. One thing is for certain. The interest in and demand for enrollment in Obamacare is dramatically exceeding the expectations of EVERYONE. When the dust settles this will be made more clear for you, annie. The American people have been demanding this or something like this for over one hundred years, since Teddy Roosevelt. Most of us are very relieved at this point and very much welcome this opportunity to increase the value of our nation, our public infrastructure, our society and our collective health. It's the American way.

Petula

What do you mean it is exceeding expectations? Where can I find these expectations? Are they printed somewhere?

How could the gobblement not plan for this?

Sounds like Obama spin.

Don't bite your tongue as you cancel yourself out one sentence to the next. The links taking you to the reports from officials, IT experts, various agencies, etc. are easily found. Check it out on your own. That's what I did and still do.

The Obamacare clusterfuck...when has the government ever done anything as well as the private sector?

Lol!

Obama could be loading people into cattle cars at bayonet point, and this guy would be wedged way in the back in the corner saying to his fellow passengers, "Wait! Listen to me. This is actually a *good* thing."

LOL, here's what those links say, Petulant:





Days after the launch of the federal government's Obamacare website, millions of Americans looking for information on new health insurance plans were still locked out of the system even though its designers scrambled to add capacity.


Government officials blame the persistent glitches on an overwhelming crush of users trying to visit the HealthCare.gov website this week.


The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which oversaw development of the site, declined to make any of its IT experts available for interviews.


CGI Group Inc, the Canadian contractor that built HealthCare.gov, is "declining to comment at this time," said spokeswoman Linda Odorisio.


Five outside technology experts interviewed by Reuters, however, say they believe flaws in system architecture, not traffic alone, contributed to the problems.


For instance, when a user tries to create an account on HealthCare.gov, which serves insurance exchanges in 36 states, it prompts the computer to load an unusually large amount of files and software, overwhelming the browser, experts said.


If they are right, then just bringing more servers online, as officials say they are doing, will not fix the site.


"Adding capacity sounds great until you realize that if you didn't design it right that won't help," said Bill Curtis, chief scientist at CAST, a software quality analysis firm, and director of the Consortium for IT Software Quality. "The architecture of the software may limit how much you can add on to it. I suspect they'll have to reconfigure a lot of it."

Another moronic tome from the village dunce; trying to compare Government buffoonery with private sector risk taking.

Here's a clue to the HUGE difference between private and public dunce; when the private sector screws up, it correctly goes out of business. When Gubuhmint fucks up we're stuck with it for generations while they forcefully extract greater sums of we the sheeples hard earned wealth.

But you're a dunce; who could expect a dunce to actually think,let alone be honest.
 
so government never corrects its course?

Is that your claim?


you think every time the government makes a misstep we should dismantle it and start again?



have you no idea how terminally stupid you are?
 
What you are calling for is a new government every day.

Ceos screw up all the time.


Do they dismantle the company every time the CEO makes a misstep?
 
do you claim no republican president ever made a mistake?


Yes the ACA sites need improving and will be improved.


what kind of idiot would claim that we should shut down government because of it
