You will have to forgive me for some gloating and editorializing today but two weeks ago members of the company SERCO were present at the Congressional hearings on Healthcare.gov.

During the hearings an employee from the company testified that paper applications for Obamacare cannot be processed if the website was down.  I have been reciting this fact for nearly two weeks.

Today, Deputy Minister Of Propaganda Jay Carney admitted that yes, if Healthcare.gov is down, not one application for health insurance can be processed either over the phone or through paper application.

This is a hilariously designed system isn’t it?  Think about this even for a New York Minute.  Paper applications and phone applications CANNOT be processed because all the person on the other end does is enter the data into healthcare.gov for you.  Really think about that.  People who process paper applications, in many cases, those unvetted navigators, will be in possession of your social security number, your address and date of birth.
