CBS: It Won’t Matter That ObamaCare Site Is Working if User Info Is ‘Messed Up’

‘That’s great, but it’s a long way from getting the promised product from ordering to the actual person who has ordered it’

CBS’ John Dickerson: ‘Doesn’t Matter if Website is Working’ If User Info ‘Gets Messed Up’ During Enrollment (Mediaite)

Over the weekend, the White House claimed that HealthCare.Gov was functioning at a level at which most users would be able to navigate the enrollment process successfully. While some dispute this or note that there are few ways to independently verify the White House’s claim, most would concede that the federal insurance exchange portal is functioning better than it was when it launched on October 1.

However, as CBS News John Dickerson reported on Monday, one key aspect of the site is still not functioning: sending accurate information about enrollees to insurance providers.

CBS anchor Charlie Rose began the morning’s report by reiterating the White House’s claims that 90 percent of users on HealthCare.Gov will have no problems getting the site to work and up to 50,000 users at one time and 800,000 users per day can now access the website.
