Obamacare exchanges providing insurers with wrong data The technology problems afflicting the roll-out of health-insurance exchanges seem to be even worse than thought, with insurers saying that the marketplaces are generating incorrect information. "Errors include duplicate enrollments, spouses reported as children, missing data fields and suspect eligibility determinations," the WSJ writes. The problems are damaging the ability of insurers to process even the small numbers of people who have signed up. "The longer this takes to resolve...the harder it will be to get people to (come back and) sign up," said Aetna ( AET) CEO Mark Bertolini. seekingalpha.com ht thehammer

the question is, who is purging who? (whom?) Republicans can't win without getting votes from the tea party or the democrats. So individual republicans are going to have to determine if it makes more sense to formalize their progressive nature and fish for democrat votes or they can reject their big government spending ways and go for the tea party votes. After 2012, I doubt too many tea partiers are willing to make the compromise vote for the RINO when we are going to lose anyway. I'd rather lose while voting for someone who I believe in than lose while voting for someone who is just as guilty as the democrats of increasing the expansiveness and expense of the government.
