Fox News Poll: 60% of Voters Think ObamaCare Implementation is ‘a Joke’

60% of voters believe that the implementation of Obamacare is a joke … JUST 60%?

A Fox News poll shows that 60% of voters think that the Obamacare implementation is a joke, while 30% actually believe it is going fine. Seriously, even if you like the law Democrats, there is no way that one can say that the implementation is going fine. Many believe, including former Obama White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs that some one should be fired for the disastrous implementation. That is hardly going fine. However, it is not just the implementation of Obamacare that is a joke, as Americans learn more and more about Barack Obama’s signature piece of legislation that was passed on a partisan Democrat vote by only Democrats in the House and the Senate, they will come to realize that the joke is on them.

Six voters in ten describe implementation of ObamaCare as “a joke,” and more voters than not say problems with the government’s health insurance website are so bad someone should be fired, according to a Fox News national poll.

The new poll, released Wednesday, also finds a majority continues to dislike President Obama’s signature achievement: 51 percent of voters use negative terms to describe the health care law, saying it is either “a step backward” or “disastrous.” That’s down two percentage points from 53 percent in August. On the other side, 44 percent describe ObamaCare positively, either as “wonderful” or “progress.” It was 43 percent two months ago.

Most Democrats continue to describe the health care law positively: 12 percent “wonderful” and 62 percent “progress,” while most Republicans continue to call it “a step backward” (20 percent) or “disastrous” (66 percent).

UPDATE I: As Americans voice their displeasure with Obamacare disastrous rollout, many Democrats like Sens. Joe Manchin and Jeanne Shaheen are jumping ship and looking for political cover. They will not be the only ones.

RUT-ROH, Democrat Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire Calls for Obamacare Open Enrollment Extension

RUT-ROH, and so it begins … we see the first chink in the armor.

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) is the first Democrat law maker calling on Barack Obama and the White House to extend the Obamacare enrollment period due to the disastrous rollout. The enrollment period is scheduled to end March 31, 2014. Also, Shaheen asks the White House for clarification as to whether Americans will still be penalized if they are unable to obtain health insurance after the open enrollment period ends on March 31, 2014. If individuals don’t have insurance for at least three months out of the year, they could face a portion of the fine, which amounts to $95 or 1 percent of an individual’s income.

Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen is calling on the White House to extend Obamacare’s open enrollment period amid continued frustration with the troubled HealthCare.gov.

“The difficulty that people in New Hampshire and in other states that are relying on the federally facilitated marketplaces are experiencing is incredibly frustrating and disappointing,” Shaheen wrote in a letter to President Barack Obama. “For over three years, we have been waiting for the creation of the health insurance exchanges, which now in their fourth week of existence, are riddled with problems.”

She is also asking the administration to clarify whether Americans will get fined for not getting insurance when the site is not working properly.

The move makes Shaheen, of New Hampshire, the first Senate Democrat to come out for extending the open enrollment period, which is scheduled to end on March 31.

If the Obamacare failures continue, we are going to see a surge of politicians asking for and extension and eventually and outright delay in the “individual” mandate.

HHS Sec. Sebelius Says President Obama Didn’t Know About Obamacare Website EPIC FAILURES Before Its Rollout

Its either plausible dependability or the most incompetent and over their head CEO of the United States in American history.

In an interview with CNN, HHS Secretary Sebelius said that President Barack Obama did not know about the Obamacare web site. HUH? Is it because they did not tell him, or Obama did not care to ask? How is it possible that Barack Obama did not know what was going on or was provided updates with his signature piece of legislation? Was Obama too busy playing golf or on vacation in Martha’s Vineyard? In Sebelius’ efforts to deflect the blame from Obama, she is making him look like a complete  incompetent, non-leading bystander.

Sebelius actually blamed volume as part of the web sites problem but yet the web site crashed in a beta stress test with only 200 individuals logged on. Yet, these brain surgeons allowed this site to go active on October 1st knowing that it would fail. Only the federal government would do such a thing. If it were a private business, such a launch would have been so damning that it most likely would have caused their demise. But don’t worry America, Obama and Sebelius are fixing the problems with a “tech surge” and more of your tax payer dollars after already having spent between $400 and $600 million. Sebelius actually had the nerve to say that “we didn’t have 5 years” to keep testing. UNREAL. Your government hard at work making excuses.

CNN:

President Barack Obama didn’t know of problems with the Affordable Care Act’s website — despite insurance companies’ complaints and the site’s crashing during a test run — until after its now well-documented abysmal launch, the nation’s health chief told CNN on Tuesday.

In an exclusive interview with Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta asked when the President first learned about the considerable issues with the Obamacare website. Sebelius responded that it was in “the first couple of days” after the site went live October 1.

“But not before that?” Gupta followed up.

To which Sebelius replied, “No, sir.”

Sebelius admitted that there is concern in her department and the White House over the technical debacle surrounding the website rollout, saying “no one could be more frustrated than I am and the president.” The site was supposed to make it simple for people to search and sign-up for new health care policies starting on October 1, but instead it’s been clunky and, at times, inoperable.

“We’re not at all satisfied with the workings of the website,” Sebelius said. “We want it to be smooth and easy and let consumers’ compare plans.”

Sorry, its is almost impossible to believe that Barack Obama did not know, as MSNBC even said, they are outright lying. At this point no one can trust anything that comes from their mouths as the stories are getting more and more fishy. Let’s call it willful ignorance.

The American Thinker has more of Barack Obama’s by-standing and the claims that he never had a clue during anything that has gone bad or was embarrassing.

It must give the White House a warm and fuzzy feeling to know that no one in the mainstream press is going to call them out for this blatant lie. Or question how it is that the White House was told repeatedly as far back as March that there were monumental technical problems with the website and no one bothered to tell the boss.

As with all the other instances where Obama claims he was in the dark, this one doesn’t pass the smell test.

53% Disapprove of the Way Obama is Handling Implementation of Obamacare … 56% Believe Problems with the Website Sign of Broader Problems

Barack Obama’s handling of the Obamacare implementation train wreck gets poor marks … EPIC FAIL!!!

As if Obamacare was not unpopular enough, President Barack Obama is getting poor marks in regard to his handling of the implementation of his signature legislation. According to a recent WAPO-ABC News poll, 53% give Obama a negative grade in his handling of the implementation of Obamacare, while only 41% approve. With all of the failures of the Obamacare web page (Healthcare.gov) only uber-partisan hack Democrats actually gave Obama a glowing review, otherwise the the poll numbers would have been far worse and more accurate. Even the liberal MSM has shown that even logging on Healthcare.gov is nearly impossible. The Obamacare rollout has been “unacceptable” and “Excruciatingly Embarrassing.”  Also, 56% of those polled believe that the numerous problems with the Obamacare web site are a sign of broader problems. Only 40% see the Web site problems as an isolated incident.

Most Americans say the rocky start for HealthCare.gov is a harbinger of bigger problems for the Affordable Care Act, according to results of a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

Fifty-six percent of Americans say the Web site problems are part of a broader problem with the law’s implementation while just 40 percent see the Web site problems as an isolated incident. Reaction to federal insurance exchange Web site are deeply rooted in partisanship. More than eight in 10 Republicans say Web site troubles are a sign of broader implementation problems, while most Democrats call it an isolated incident. Independents resemble the public overall, with 55 percent seeing broader problems with implementation.

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew Says Obama is More Upset About Failures in ObamaCare’s Rollout than Anyone Else

Who thinks Obama is only upset with Obamacare roll out because it just makes him look bad?

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that President Obama is more upset about the failures of the Obamacare rollout than anyone. Really, it probably does not even come close to the millions of people who are upset that the law even exists forcing individuals to buy insurance or else, or the fact that they were sold a bill of goods of promises that Obamacare allowed you to keep our healthcare, keep your existing doctors and paying lower insurance premiums. All turned out to be LIES!. The Obamacare website roll out (Healthcare.gov) has been nothing short of a complete disaster. Barack Obama and his minions call the problems “glitches,” but anyone that is tech savvy knows the problems are much worse.

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said on Sunday that President Obama is more upset about failures in ObamaCare’s rollout than anyone else.

“There are millions of Americans who want health insurance. It’s important for our economy for them to have health insurance,” he said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

“I think that there’s no one more frustrated than the president at the difficulty in the website.”

Since Oct. 1, when the Obama administration unveiled a new website for people in some states to find health insurance through new marketplaces, the site has been rife with problems.
