Obamacare Website Fixes Could Take Two Weeks Or Two Months 382
An anonymous reader writes "It looks like nobody is quite sure how long it will take to fix the health insurance marketplace website. '"One person familiar with the system's development said that the project was now roughly 70 percent of the way toward operating properly, but that predictions varied on when the remaining 30 percent would be done," the Times reported yesterday. "'I've heard as little as two weeks or as much as a couple of months,' that person said. Others warned that the fixes themselves were creating new problems, and said that the full extent of the problems might not be known because so many consumers had been stymied at the first step in the application process."'"

But I can choose not to have a car and not pay a penalty for it. (in fact, one might call it a bonus)
You can't choose not to have a body. And when your body needs health care, are you going to "choose" to die instead of going to the emergency room?
The fact is, you'll become a burden on the rest of us if you get sick and you don't have health insurance.
Where is my choice to opt out in the ACA without penalty?
It's in the same place as your choice to opt-out of paying taxes. Freedom isn't free. Suck it up.
