Page 8 - Computer Glitches News Today

Problems. but i have to tell you, the politics of this just as a political consultant? the winning message on obama care has been for a year or more, mend it, dont end it. when the republicans said they wanted to abolish it, support for it went up. four polls in the last week show more support for obama care. not because people like computer glitches. its because they dont want to do away with it but fix it. you see the smart democrats running just a deadline here or there. mend it dont end it w...

People dont sign up. theyre taking advantage. theyre glorifying these computer glitches. theyre trying to scare people. their privacy is going to be impacted. theyre trying to do whatever they can including shutting down the government to make sure that this doesnt work. and this wasnt a legitimate hearing today. thats why i called it a monkey court. they werent trying to fix it. they werent trying to work with the contractors to figure out how to improve it, they just wanted to make people say ...

I got real problems here and clearly there are problems and the winning message in obama care has been for a year or more, end it dont end it. it went up. four polls in the last week show more support, not because people like computer glitches, its because they dont want to do away but fix it and you see the smart democrats running say well adjust the deadline here or there, mend it dont end i want that will win in the polls. >> let me just follow up quickly, paul on that point, though. the whit...

Yet whenever the white house is asked about it they say talk to hhs, talk to the secretary. it seems like a lot of this. thats what people are seeing. no ones taking responsibility or accountability. is that what it seems like to you as well? >> as i understand, the web site was put together by health and human services. in fact the department you know well called cms center for medicare and medicaid services. it runs medicaid and medicare. and those are the folks who were supposed to have been ...

Problems out there. i mean first of all, does that make sense to you? and why would that possibly be? >> it makes sense. its a big mistake. but it makes sense. nobody likes to carry bad news to the president of the united states. after all, hes got his finger on the nuclear button. you dont want to make him mad. but frankly the more loyal thing to do would be to come to him and say sir ive got real problems here. and clearly there are these problems. but i have to tell you, the politics of this ...

The future. and until you have leadership that brings our nation together rather than advantages themselves by dividing this, were not going to solve these problems. and we have to be truthful about what the real problem is. >> let me stick to obama care. senator schumer, how disappointed are you with the rollout of obama care? robert gibbs, who is the press secretary for president obama saying people should be fired for the rollout and the problems that have gone with it. how disappointed are y...

U.s. gathers foreign intelligence of the type gathered by all nations. then they also say that president obama ordered. theyre looking into this on how all of this is gathered. and they want to balance, and i think this is really the key, at least as they look at it, balancing legitimate security concerns, not only of the united states, but of its allies with the privacy concerns that people have. michaela, john. >> well, more damage control to be done there. thanks so much for that. >> checking...

Will people sign up? and the answer to that is overwhelmingly yes. as more people learn about it, more people are going to do that. i was at a wedding last night and i saw my cousin who has a small plumbing business. he was all worried about obama care. what am i going to do? i have a small number of employees on health care. i said, your costs will be cut in half. he was happy. >> thats not the reality today. you can talk about what will happen. the reality has been very difficult for people. >...

Theres no people -- he said that immediately. so its not like when confronted by the authority, he changed his story and said, this was an imagine. he said that as it was happening. >> he seemed very happy at that moment with great hilarity, but things are not always as they seem. this is what he has sworn in an affidavit for his lawsuit. since the 2009 crash the boy scout leader claims he hat, quote, endured great pain, disable, suffering, impairment, and loss of joy of life. maybe the boulder ...

Those will be solved. the administration is working to do it. theyre putting in a tech surge, theyre putting in more people at the call centers. if you need health care, the fact you couldnt get on the computer right away isnt going to stop you two or three weeks away when theyre fixed from going on. i think the computer glitches are used by a good number of people who never wanted obama care in the first place as an excuse to just sort of bash it. >> let me get back to politics. one of the stri...
