I swear I don't get it

Can someone explain to me: 

why so many media folks 

have their panties in a twist 

about the Affordable Healthcare website having glitches? 

I mean, seriously, 

have they ever used any other insurance company’s – 

or governmental – 

website before?  

Do they operate perfectly? 

Hell, no; 

you expect problems with ANY computer program, 

especially a new one. 

Our healthcare system rolled out electronic charting years ago 

and we’re STILL updating and perfecting it 

because we can’t get it to do exactly what we want! 

And the fact that millions of people 

crashed it by logging on to get information 

and sign up for coverage 

should say something 

about how desperate people are for coverage 

and how eager they are to participate!

That doesn’t make the program bad – 

it makes it more successful 

and more needed 

than anyone anticipated. 

I remember when George W Bush was re-elected to the White House

 and so many distraught Americans logged on to 

the Canadian Government website
looking for information on how to emigrate 

that their system crashed!

Was that an indication that Canada wasn’t working?

Can someone explain to me:

Why my clients lie about things that are so easily checked out?

Do they think staff from investigating agencies don’t talk to each other? 

WHY would they say the police had been in their apartment at 2AM, 

trashing  the place, 

looking in closets, drawers 

and questioning the kids 

about the 4 mos old baby 

falling off the bed and getting a skull fracture and broken ribs? 

First of all,Mom, they’d have needed a search warrant. 

Secondly, they don’t go out at that hour on abuse cases 

unless the victim is a near or impending fatality. 

Third, the police wouldn’t have questioned your kids; 

police have been accompanied by Children Division staff 

and THEY would have spoken to the kids – 

and they don’t go out after midnight anyway –

unless there’s an imminent risk to the kids at home. 

Do I believe your house looked like it was trashed 

and you didn’t have time to clean 

before Children’s Division was coming over on a home visit? 

Do I believe you needed an excuse for why it looked that way? 

Do I believe your boyfriend tore it apart 

to make sure he got rid of all the drugs he had hidden 

before that home visit? 

Yes, yes and yes. 

It was pretty easy to check call logs, Dispatch records 

and videos from the nearest  bank 

and figure out that you’d invented 

the whole – the police raided my house - thing. 

Very inventive though –
especially the part about feeling like YOU were the true victim here… 

really? 

Did you have a skull fracture too?

No, I didn’t think so.

Don't you wish some people just knew when to shut up?
