TWT, Bearcat. But remember, this HAS TO BE SOLVED IMMEDIATELY! They haven't got a year to fix it. By Dec 15th, if they don't have everybody enrolled, the Insurance companies can't take the hit they will get.

if a state exchange can work - so can a federal exchange.
How many state exchanges work? Until Mar, I was working for the largest health insurer in a state which wasn't even close to defining the interfaces between the exchange and the insurers. There is zero chance it had a successful rollout.

The Hawaii exchange was built by the same contractors as the Federal one, and it's still not open for business.

The Vermont exchange was built by the same CGI firm, and is having serious problems. I don't intend to go near it unless I must; I'll deal with Blue Cross directly.

Like Bill says, doubtless they could fix the exchanges eventually. But they don't have eventually. They have a month. If the exchanges aren't working by mid November, they are in big doo-doo.
