More than a year after the Obama administration launched the federal ObamaCare exchange, HealthCare.gov, is still giving health insurance companies problems. Though the second open enrollment period is just days away from launching, backend systems that are supposed to communicate with insurers aren't yet finished, according to Politico:

Capitol Hill Update, 13 January, 2014House & Senate/Schedule: The House and Senate are both in session this week, and both chambers will be in recess next week.

Dear FreedomWorks member,

As part of the complex montrosity known as Obamacare, people signing up for health insurance can have the help of Navigators - people with little training or experience wading through the most complex law ever passed. The manual for the program describes a system that will lead to privacy violations, personal embarrassment, and identity theft.

The Obamacare sales machine is in the process of spending approximately $685 million of your money to guilt you into paying too much for health insurance. Why is the push even necessary? Why doesn't Obamacare sell itself? Because it's not a good deal for most people.

For years, Congress has enjoyed a fantastic health benefits program, better than that of most Americans.
