Obamacare and Middle-Wheel-Wheelbarrows
davecb writes "The Obamacare sign-up site was a classic example of managers saying 'not invented here' and doing everything wrong, as described in Poul-Henning Kamp's Center Wheel for Success, at ACM Queue."
It's not just a knock on the health-care finance site, though:
"We are quick to dismiss these types of failures as politicians asking for the wrong systems and incompetent and/or greedy companies being happy to oblige. While that may be part of the explanation, it is hardly sufficient. ... [New technologies] allow us to make much bigger projects, but the actual success/failure rate seems to be pretty much the same."
Sounds like Republicans are getting worried Obamacare might be end up working and want to change the name...I mean imagine of Social Security was called Rooseveltcare? This attempt to debrand Obama from Obamacare tells me the right is scared that Obamacare is going to be well liked in the end!
If more people are getting signed up for Medicaid, and lots of people are getting subsidies... where's the money for that going to come from?
Tax increases that we haven't seen yet. I'll wager your taxes are going to go up next year by more than you think you're saving.
Problem is, you numbskulls that drank the Obamacare Kool-Aid can't see past the end of your own noses, and don't know the history of how your government has operated in precisely the same fashion since sometime around the War Between the States.
It's the same shit. Politicians promise shit, but it won't cost shit. It always ends up costing, you dumbfuck. ALWAYS.
There are no exceptions. There never have been any exceptions. Getting something from the government comes out of your pocket, one way or another. How fucking stupid are you people?
Beam me up, Scotty. There's no intelligent life here.
That I'm right, and you don't like it, doesn't mean I'm a troll.
