I Smell a Rat

I smell a rat. In fact, I smell a few rats.

Rat #1: The administration supposedly spent hundreds of millions of dollars on the Obamacare website and they had 3 years to prepare for it. First of all, that's an inordinate amount of money for a website, plenty of time to work out kinks, and yet, this costly website is not working. Why? This doesn't make sense. Now they say they're bringing in tech savvy people to fix it? Well, who the heck was putting this website together if not tech savvy people? What's really going on?  Was this supposed to not work smoothly? I must raise this question, since this administration, by design, tends to do the opposite of what one would expect. So, my question is, what's the reason for the launch problems?

Rat #2: Anyone who does manage to access the website must first input much personal information before even finding out what their options are and what they cost. If then, the person chooses not to enroll, the personal information remains and cannot get deleted. So, my question is, why can't a person shop around for the health care options before registering their personal data?

Rat #3: At this point, millions of people are getting letters from their insurance companies that their coverage is getting cancelled or their premiums are getting raised, sometimes doubled or tripled. Sometimes, the premiums are decreasing, but the deductible amount is skyrocketing. This, of course, contradicts the you-can-keep-your-insurance-if-you-like-it and it-will-save-you-money mantra. They are finding out that their doctors will not necessarily be in their network...not you-can-keep-your-doctor-period.  These are just a few of the points Obama emphatically and unequivocally made many, many times over when he spent a year trying to sell this plan to the country. So, my question is, how does this man so blatantly and easily lie to the American people? And if he lies this boldly, what else is he lying about?
