When a company, whose core business is gaming, has problems rolling out their online server based products.

What on earth made healthcare.gov.us think they could do better for 360 Million people?

big surprise, know nothing in charge of areas they have NO knowledge in. Typical gov't as usual. "Dry" running the sucker would probably have identified many problems, but then there was no time. UNION hacks are never on time:-)))

There aren't 360 million people in the U.S.

I think you meant 316 million.

Remember the long gun registry and how much money it sucked from the public trough just for software development? This will be ten times worse.

The system has to be secure for reasons of privacy, yet it has to be accessible to every US and their doctor, pharmacist, hospital etc and the IRS and HHS and the 159 bureaus that will be administering it. It will have to be compatible with every browser and OS on the market as well, have to accommodate slower machines and have the capacity for millions of visitors at once. All this will be provided by the lowest bidder/highest briber/best Obama campaign fundraiser who is contracted to supply what a committee of bureaucrats has specified. What could go wrong?

Ooops, should read "every US citizen and their doctor,"

Americans have no idea what is coming. The system will eventually move toward 100% government run, rationed care, just you wait.

Then our friends to the south will be subjected to a Canada-style health care ... ha ha ha. Poor people, they will be in for a shock.

Such a *massive* entitlement program will sink the US, assuming Obama doesn't kill the country first.

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
