You go to register for Obamacare.  As you visit the webpage and attempt to register, you notice a list of issues.  If you can even log in, you find several glitches preventing you from progressing in the registration.  After proceeding to complain about your life on Twitter and Facebook and possibly banging your keyboard and desk in frustration, you give up entirely.

 Such has been life for those who have attempted to register for the Affordable Care Act, the chief accomplishment of President Barack Obama’s term as president.  These technical issues, linked to a Canadian IT firm, have led to a new round of controversy over the bill, with people on both sides of the issue.

 “I think Obamacare is a great step toward progressive healthcare in the United States.  The website issues haven’t really changed my opinion of the law at all.  Its new; there are bound to be a few issues to begin with.  They just need to be taken in stride,” said junior Neha Onteeru.

 Others disagree with this stance entirely.

 “Obamacare is socialized medicine designed by the progressive side of the Democratic Party designed for the federal government to control health care.  Mandates on employers will raise the cost of doing business while simultaneously discouraging job growth and further impede an already stagnant economic recovery with tax stipulations,” said senior Bryce Dowling.

 Naturally, people are quick to point out their opinions to those who disagree with their stance on the law and website.

 “To skeptics I’d say, take a little more time to look into the mechanics of the law. It definitely  works towards helping the greater good of American citizens, and a lot of the policies will fundamentally change our health care for the better.  The U.S. is already pretty behind on health care so it’s reassuring to know that we’re moving in the right direction,” said Onteeru.

 Of course, the skeptics have an equally strong opinion about the proponents and are quick to talk about what they view was clearly obvious.

 “When Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said, ‘We have to pass the bill so you can find out what’s in it,’ red flags should have gone up in your head.  Now that it has passed, Americans are discovering they will receive less care at a great cost and with less choices,” said Dowling.

 As for what people feel will happen immediately as a result of the law, opinions once again vary.

 “Immediately, the law will cause a lot more insurance coverage for people all over America. It’ll open a lot of doors, and it’ll still cover more than what some people have today, creating a much more stable health care system,” said Onteeru.

 Conservatives are less optimistic.

 “Initial impacts will involve growing confusion within the government and higher costs for both general health care and related industries,” said Dowling.

 However, despite various views on the law, the fact remains that the website is hindering the law’s implementation at this time, prompting concern from some, but calm reactions from others.

 “Even Obama has to admit the launch of his Affordable Care Act has been embattled with trouble from the outset.  The ongoing delays and disappointments in the system only confirm the inefficiency of this legislation.  At the cost of $1 billion, this website has been a complete failure,” said Dowling.

 The supporters of the law, however, believe that things will improve.

“The federal government is already working to resolve the issues, and they want it to be functional for the public as soon as possible.  I’m sure that it will be up and running in the near future,” said Onteeru.
