As anyone who has visited the Healthcare.gov website since its launch on October 1 can attest, all was not fine then, nor is it likely to be fine in the foreseeable future. According to Casaretto, even the post launch “fixes” are debacles. “One of the most recent ‘fixes,'” he wrote, “was to reset the passwords of every single account in the system. So for that ‘fortunate’ minority that actually got to register at one point but didn’t get as far as the database – all of those people will now have to completely re-register because their account names will not be available.”

The failure of the Obama admin’s Healthcare.gov site is perhaps the best evidence yet of the superiority of free markets, rather than centralized planning, for the optimal provision of all goods and services–including health care and health care insurance–within an economic system. Anyone paying attention knows the only way to avert even greater health care debacles in the United States is to completely defund and repeal Obamacare.
