MSNBC’s The Cycle: ObamaCare is a ‘Catastrophe’; ‘Nothing Really Working Perfectly’

‘Nothing Really Working’: MSNBC Hosts, Analyst Tear Into ‘Catastrophe’ of Obamacare (Mediaite)

Minutes after leaving a background briefing on the implementation of the Affordable Care Act in the White House, MSNBC on-air political analyst Perry Bacon joined the hosts of The Cycle to share what he learned. Bacon said that both the ACA’s website and phone banks are not working well, casting doubt on the administration’s belief that enough healthy young people will sign up for the program by December 15 in order to support those who require subsidies.

Touré began the segment by noting that President Barack Obama told the public that they could sign up for the ACA insurance exchanges by phone and not just via the internet. “That is a delivery problem, not necessarily a product problem,” Touré observed.
