Illinois is America: ObamaCare site payment function won't be ready until January

The ObamaCare debacle continues.

From CNBC:
Another day, another big, bad black eye for HealthCare.gov.

A crucial system for making payments to insurers from people who enroll in that federal Obamacare marketplace has yet to be built, a senior government IT official admitted Tuesday.

The official, Henry Chao, visibly stunned Rep. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) when he said under questioning before a House subcommittee that a significant fraction of HealthCare.gov—30 to 40 percent of it—has yet to be constructed.

"We still need to build the payments system to make the payments [to insurance companies] in January," testified Chao, deputy chief information officer of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the federal agency that operates HealthCare.gov.
Hmm...the public sector is unable to pay businesses. Just like Obama's home state of Illinois.

Jailbird Jesse Jackson Jr. was right in 2008: "Illinois is America."
