Obamacare Failures Begin: D.C. Health Exchange Prices Are Broken Until Mid-November

(NaturalNews) Less than a week before the “official” roll-out of Obamacare and the system is in a shambles.

Americans remain fearful and confused about the new law. Benefits and pricing still hasn’t been worked out. And worse, some of the state and territorial exchanges called for under the law are already on life support.

Can you say, “Epic fail?”

Per the Washington Post:

Just days away from launch, the District of Columbia’s health marketplace is announcing a pretty significant delay.

While the D.C. Health Link will launch a Web site on October 1, shoppers will not have access to the their premium prices until mid-November. The delay comes after the District marketplace discovered “a high error rate” in calculating the tax credits that low- and middle-income people will use to purchase insurance on the marketplace.

The nation’s capital, perhaps the most liberal “progressive” place in the entire country, has been increasingly fearful of Obamacare’s disastrous effects in the months and weeks leading up to the official launch. Huge amounts of unionized federal workers have rejected the law that Obama has exempted lawmakers from [http://www.naturalnews.com]. The IRS’s own union – members of the agency charged with enforcing Obamacare’s myriad of rules, regulations, mandates and penalties – doesn’t want the law [http://www.naturalnews.com].

Now, as the start date for the law approaches, many of the government-run health insurance exchanges called for under the “Affordable” Care Act are either not ready for prime time or are too broken to function.

And it is as appropriate as it is ironic that the exchange in the nation’s capital is one of the first to break.
