Thought all those healthcare.gov bugs were exterminated? Think again ...

A newly discovered glitch in the main ObamaCare website reportedly is giving thousands of people the wrong information about whether they qualify for premium subsidies.

The Philadelphia Inquirer discovered the glitch while entering hypothetical incomes into the calculator on HealthCare.gov. The newspaper found that the calculator is using the wrong year's poverty guidelines -- a simple mistake that, for months, has resulted in would-be enrollees getting inaccurate guidance.

Because of the glitch, some people may be initially told they qualify for subsidies when they don't. Others may be told they don't qualify when they do.

It's unclear how many people have been affected, but the mistake raises the possibility that thousands are giving up the hunt for insurance after being told, inaccurately, that they don't qualify for government aid.

Somebody tell me why there isn't a massive move yet to repeal this disaster?

OR's site still is not working. NO ONE has signed up through it. Some facilitators can use it to gain info but they are doing apps by paper and mostly medicad folks are the ones signing up.

This is today's news by the way, three or four have resigned/been fired, big investigation for big bucks and still nothing works.

Okay. Because Washington and the conglomerated corporate media keep us so busy flicking from one "crisis" to another to another. We get so much infobull thrown at us from all angles in the course of a day we can't focus on any one particular thing long enough to think it through thoroughly let alone do something about it.

That and most people's memory of the last news cycle has faded into oblivion by the time the next news cycle rolls around. Historical context? What's that? Been replaced with talking points and political hacksmanship.

No such thing as "news" today. It's all programming.
