So Much For "Make Sure It Works!" Trivial -- But Hilarious!


To be fair, the early days of Obamacare.gov were sort of glitchy, too -- but that was insurance, for about 100 million people, applying.

Here, Tangerine's "Rx plan" is strictly by voluntary efforts -- from/of just a few manufacturers -- and only for just a small handful of drugs.

He now well-knows he has zero ability to force any drug price down, and put it on his list of meds. [Ironically, that is what he, and his minions -- would / did. . . call "communism" or "socialism", if/when a Democratic candidate even mentioned the idea of it. And to be clear -- I supported Mr. Biden's thoughtful "negotiated" moves, with over a dozen drugmakers, on the ten most widely prescribed meds -- to make them more affordable in TriCare, and Medicare / Medicaid venues. That is, the idea is sound; but his "execution" of it -- is preposterously. . . flawed.]

So, the point here is that his people cannot even get a voluntary enrollment site up and running, for perhaps three to five drugs at this point. It has crashed at the first page, for over 28 hours now, after "launch" [offering a blank grayed-out screen, on the landing page] -- and the White House now has a static screen shot image, of some supposed future web-site -- claiming a January 2026 launch / availability.

[By way of contrast, the ACA of 2010 / Obamacare site was running smoothly by the third day, after launch. And has run smoothly for 15 years.] He said, according to MSM reports -- "Okay, got to make sure it’s successful, it’s got my name on it. . . .” Indeed, Trumpie. Hilarious.

In another age -- incompetence like this would have been plenty to end a GOP administration's popular sway. Now there is a segment of the American population that cheers. . . even his felonious bribe seeking moves. Incompetence?! Trivial, they say -- so long as billionaires get their subsidies and tax cuts. Damn. Out.
