    Well, I taught my daughter the Pythagorean Theorem when she started kindergarten. Is that close enough?

    Yes, but they've spent billions to develop these ones. Therefor they are better. And you need to buy these tests, because otherwise your kids will starve.

    Might have been cheaper to try to buy it, and no one would have died/been injured.

    So you managed to link to a piece that states what you said, and the Supreme Court case that is based on.

    Please finish the other part of the request, and actually quote the line "corporations are people" from that court decision.

    Having just downloaded it, and searched for all instances of the word "people", I see nothing that says "corporations are people".

    Please point it out, quoting the paragraph, and noting the page number for us.

    Thanks.

    The Supreme Court has made many 'wrong' decisions over the years, that have later been overturned. Obamacare will be one of those examples.

    Look into that a bit, and you may discover that the start of work on that website was delayed for years by lawsuits from Republican governeors.

    Why would a lawsuit from a governor stop the federal government from building and testing a website?

    Or do you mean the Republican governors filed lawsuits instead of bending over for Obamacare, and that was unconscionable?

    Problems with the new compressed schedule were noted during development, but any solution that required an act of Congress (eg: adjusting the deadline, the requirements, or adding money so more developers could be hired) was right out, as the Republican-led Congress would only vote to defund the entire effort altogether.

    The effort to de-fund Obamacare failed because, as we found out, the money was already allocated and could not be prevented after the fact by Republicans. So what "solution that required an act of Congress" are you referring to?

    So yes, anything ACA-related that Republicans had a say in has turned to a complete fiasco, just like the Republicans wanted. Party affiliation had everything to do with it.

    No, it was only incompetence in those legislating, planning, and implementing it. They failed to foresee the actions of governors who acted within the dictates of the law as passed. You can't properly blame the governors for that.

    Well the Democratic leaders of Healthcare.gov sure didn't manage to make a usable site. So party affiliation has less to do with it than you think.

    Yeah, it did that to me too. Like so many other sites over the years that have some sort of auto-redirect function. Going back just reloads the redirect function.

    So right click on the 'back-arrow' so a menu drops down, and choose the page from before the redirect page. No real reason to complain about it.
