People are Signing up in Droves for Obamacare, but not for Private Insurance

18. Do they ever state clearly that the botched job was done by a private company?

I don't know because I don't watch corporate media, but I do appreciate those who do when they document their atrocities in reporting.

The government and the Obama team have had a very hard time getting this situation under control because it was outsourced to private industry. It's a great opportunity for the barons of industry (and their media) to bash government as the problem when the government didn't do all that much leading up to the rollout except hand our tax dollars over to private industry.

The website may say "healthcare.gov", but a private company created the monstrosity.

I imagine that the rollout would have been much, much better had the government ACTUALLY constructed the website portal. Any problems would have been much easier for the government to solve if they created and developed the site. It probably would have been tested appropriately, and I have to think that many of the shortcomings that private industry clearly did not foresee (or did they? ) would have been addressed had the government had taken on this project.

Isn't it funny how the corporate media never seems to successfully educate our citizens on the extent to which government services have been outsourced to private corporations? Failures get to be blamed on the government, while private corporations suck up our tax dollars. What a fantastic win for fascists.

The people of this country should be able to see through the charade though. Although I guess it's hard for some because way too many political actors that permeate both parties are active participants in creating the illusion. They protect corporate interests and profits over the interests of average Americans, and they allow government to take the blame over corporate interests whenever possible.
