    3 IT Guys In their 20's and in less than 72 hours did what Sebelius Couldn't

    3 IT guys in their 20's put together the following website over the weekend. They solved the issue the US Government couldn't do. BTW, they did it for free. Best thing is you side step the Federal website and go directly to the Business that issues the insurance. That way your personal information stays personal. Gee, what an amazing idea.

    Lets see...Big ass Government couldn't do it and spent over $600 million for an epic failure but three guys in the private sector could and it didn't cost any taxpayer a dime. Maybe BIG GOVERNMENT isn't the answer. At least we know it wasn't in this case.

    http://www.thehealthsherpa.com/


    Article on the site:
    http://gizmodo.com/these-guys-just-b...uld-1458215436

    Calling the launch of Healthcare.gov a complete and utter disaster may sound a bit dramatic—but unfortunately, it's also pretty accurate. With only six people able to actually enroll out of the 4.7 million unique visitors the site saw on launch day, something clearly needs to change. And since the government has its hands full with perpetually tripping over itself, three coders from San Francisco did what the feds couldn't by building HealthSherpa.com—a website that actually works.

    The healthcare vigilantes, George Kalogeropoulos, Ning Liang, and Michael Wasser, claim not to be affiliated with any sort of lobby, trade group, or government agency. There's no political agenda—just a desire to make good on the government's promise of easily accesible healthcare information. In fact, all the numbers and facts on the site have been pulled from publicly available (and "carefully vetted") data.

    Of course, the site is just that—facts. You can't actually use the site to sign up for a plan; instead, it's there to point you directly to whichever insurer you need to go. But Health Sherpa truly is wildly user-friendly. With one main screen, large text, and explicitly outlined directions for each individual plan, you get all the information you need in a format that's accesible to anyone with even the vaguest of computer knowhow.

    Currently, Health Sherpa only covers the 34 states under Obamacare, but support for the 16 states with pre-existing marketplace sites should be coming soon—too bad we can't say the same for Healthcare.gov.

    Wasn't the first web developers contractors?
    The 3 20 year old IT guys would not be able to even get thier foot in the door to win a government contractor job.

    It is not that the private sector is better. It is not necessarily better.
    What make USA's corpocracy government so bad is the graft.

    In the video below, they all but say that bid rigging is not only common place, but expected.

    Can they lower the premiums and and deductibles too? Gee. What you are saying is the private sector (if it's honest) can do things better than the government. Gee who would have thought that? Didn't we become an economic super power and build that highest standard of living at one time because we always had a huge central government? I can remember when a guy who managed a freight depot could own his own airplane and have a boat too. His wife didn't have to work and they had all weekend off to enjoy those things. Yeah that was in the early 70's. What happened to that?

    Those dreams are a thing of the past. You, sir, need to submit to the brainwashing that most of this country has readily signed up for! The Gubment can provide for your every need! All men are created equal! Of course, some men are more equal than others. But since those men carry a greater burden providing for you and those of your ilk then shouldn't they receive greater benefits?? Meaning the finest health care and the finest clothes and cars and watches and a whole lot of shit that you don't even know you want.

    Health care and education, my good friend, should be provided free of cost to the people! No one should profit from the things that most people need! Including trash disposal and police protection from the police. What America really needs is a slave labor force that provides these things and sings happy spiritual songs in between classes and routes. Because that's the only fucking way you can have these things for free. Yes, a return to slavery is the only answer. Because if you take away the profit incentive then you fuck yourself and relegate yourself to receiving the care and services from the gubment who can take them all away in an instant. Oh, but I'm just rambling. Those kinds of things have NEVER happened in the modern world.

    Basically. If you look at the five biggest banks in the US they have the same people sitting on all the boards. So really they are one big bank. Then that falls under the Federal Reserve and that falls under the International Bank of Settlements.

    Enough money has been thrown around that the media has been bought up including local media. Try to get your story out if you are a whistle blower. You can't. At least in the US on mainstream news formats.

    Then you repeal Glass Steagall so you can totally game the financial markets. If you are a ratings agency like Standard & Poors and give a bank like the Federal Reserve a downgrade in it's bond rating, Eric Holder will sue you. If you are Germany and want 300 tons of your gold bullion withdrawn from the Federal Reserve Bank and they say no. The Obama Administration will tell you to get fucked.

    If Germany can't get it's gold what's to stop the banks from just emptying our bank accounts? The government won't do a damn thing about it because it's been infiltrated by the banks. Of course the scum politicians still seem to fear election time. I hope they don't postpone the Obamacare mandate. I'm willing to waste some dollars on it not to let some politicians to kick that can behind the election date. No. They made their bed and they can lie in it. They can face a pissed off public at election time next year.

    Actually we could provide those things. Finance is just an illusion. Finance is actually deciding what you want the future to be. So lets say you want to give everyone a base income from the government to live off of which includes education and healthcare. You decide how much that is going to cost and then you issue enough money to cover it. The trick is not to issue too much money. It's how Lincoln financed the civil war debt free. He went to the bankers seeking loans. They wanted 40% interest. He said fuck that! He then issued green backs. Enough to cover his predicted war costs. After the war people still traded the green backs until the money physically wore out. It worked.

    You have to have responsible management. What people don't understand is the people in charge of the banks now don't want to empower people. They want scarcity. They want debt slaves. Their game is population control and playing one group off the other so the masses can't organize against them. Sure a socialist system works if you have benevolent bankers and politicians. Those seem to be quite rare and then you put all your eggs in their basket and they got you. You are broke and have no means to flank them. Can it work? In theory it can the problem is human beings cheat and ruin the system.

    Red herring of red herring. The racist FORD uses another website these guys designed for free in an attempt to detract from the thread. The point being made was that 3 IT guys did what the US Gov't couldn't in less than 72 hours, came up with a way to protect your personal information, and did it for free. They didn't spend $ 600+ million on a website that FAILED and continues to FAIL and cost the taxpayer to fix the piece of crap.

    Hey racist FORD how come you didn't start any threads about the NO-BID contract awarded for the steaming pile of crap web-site? How come you haven't started any threads about the connection between higher ups in the CGI and the Obama Administration? How come you did start any threads about the connections between the higher-ups at CGI and money bundling?

    Um, the "red herring" or red herrings would be the bullshit article you posted that turned out to be wrong. But hey. What to facts have to do with anything?
