Unbelievable. ObamaCare Site Scheduled To Be Shut Down On National Youth Enrollment Day

February 13, 2014

It would be pretty hard to make this up, but we can bill this as yet another massive, incompetent failure of HealthCare.gov

This Saturday is National Youth Enrollment Day for ObamaCare, a series of concerts, rallies, and online campaigns nation-wide intended to convince more young people to sign up for ObamaCare.

The problem? HealthCare.gov is scheduled to be shut down for maintenance that same day.

“Obviously it’s unfortunate,” one ObamaCare ally said.

Unfortunate? Yes. It’s also a symptom of just how incompetent this Administration is when it comes to managing the ObamaCare train wreck.

From BuzzFeed:

WASHINGTON — Saturday is National Youth Enrollment Day for Obamacare, a day designed to help make up for youth recruitment time lost while HealthCare.gov was down last year. It will be marked by a broad array of events, from Head Start information sessions to pub crawls.

The day will also feature a HealthCare.gov outage that came as a surprise to the White House allies who have been planning Feb. 15 enrollment activities for weeks.

“We just found that out,” said Aaron Smith, co-founder of the recruitment group Young Invincibles. “Obviously it’s unfortunate.”

“It’s not ideal,” another Obamacare ally said.
