Obamacare bombshell: IT official says HealthCare.gov needs payment feature [View all] FarCenter Nov 2013 OP

For F###'s sake. This isn't an essential part of the system BlueStreak Nov 2013 #1

I think you missed something...... Glitterati Nov 2013 #3

Then the article/argument is grossly misleading. THis is not a "bombshell" BlueStreak Nov 2013 #4

More like a nutshell. ananda Nov 2013 #19

I think that the payments are made monthly per policy, and accounted per SSN by the IRS FarCenter Nov 2013 #33

It is freaking BACK OFFICE. It doesn't have to be done before January 2015 BlueStreak Nov 2013 #34

It needs to be done by January 2014 when the payments begin to the insurance companies. FarCenter Nov 2013 #42

You don't have to have an elegant solution in place in January BlueStreak Nov 2013 #47

Yes I've been a project manager, and I know what a disastrous IT project looks like. FarCenter Nov 2013 #48

And they will get their subsidy, and it will be worked out. GIVE IT TIME. RBInMaine Nov 2013 #9

They have to get this or some way of paying the subsidies worked out in less than two months Yo_Mama Nov 2013 #46

I don't know if everything will technically be worked out in time.. Rstrstx Nov 2013 #64

There has to be some mechanism to make the premium subsidy payments Yo_Mama Nov 2013 #43

Solution: Paypal. NYC_SKP Nov 2013 #2

The IRS would use Paypal to make the per policy subsidy payments to the insurance companies? FarCenter Nov 2013 #37

Insurance companies would have to wait. I'd make them fill out a 42 page application for payment. NYC_SKP Nov 2013 #50

Apparently -- Nuclear Unicorn Nov 2013 #24
