I have been sitting on the sidelines withholding comment on the fiasco that has been unfolding on all sides of the Obama Care program. However, with the most recent fiasco surrounding the train wreck of the program's website, I am compelled to comment.

It is incomprehensible to me that the government would roll out the program with an online portal that just doesn't work, and now the latest emerging news is that young people are not signing up for new health plan. The early buyers are older, which will compromise the economics of the plan and raise the costs to JQ Public.

One issue after another is surfacing almost daily, so it seems to me that an overhaul of the program will be necessary in the not too distant future. It's just another example of Washington hard at work for you and me.
