Why are so many people defending this incompetence. "be patient", " it's overloaded" "calm down people". an d on and on..this is literally a life and death issue and as i saw elsewhere someone said, it's nothing like affordable care act that was much more complex. Seriously, People are dying in this country and being evicted from their home, having utilities turned off and on top of that we are being told to STAY HOME, you cannot tell people to "stay home" dont work etc and expect them to starve and become homeless for god's sake. We have the best IT people in the world here in this country. So 1 phone call to Apple, Facebook, Google, Twitter any of them and I bet they could set up a portal in a few days if not hours. The US has servers large enough to track every email, phone call, text message in real time. So please dont be glib and tell people to be patient, or it will get fixed or whatever when people in the United States of America, dont have food! There has been plenty of time for our government to get this straight and obviously, they knew magnitude of people trying to get answers. Remember, this is TAX PAYER money so let's not be so gracious as if it's some contribution by Trump or congress.....this has been a gross negligence problem from day one. People died who didnt have to, people are suffering who dont have to. Let's get real for once, there is no excuse for this and no explanation. It doesn't take a genius to anticipate this, but it does take an idiot, fool, to NOT have anticipated this and used the IT experts, giant servers or whatever to get it right. More people will die today that simply do not need to.
It's time for the citizens to stop making excuses and defending this and start acting like this is a county OF THE PEOPLE and BY THE PEOPLE and FOR THE PEOPLE and it's up to us to correct it. I am one of those people who doesn't have food, getting utilities cut off. so I know how scared I am and my family is!
