In an article, Obamacare repair written by Michael Gerson, the author attacks Obamacare. He calls it a fiasco. He attacks Obamacare predominantly on a technical front. Since people could start trying to buy insurance online there have been numerous reports of glitches or faultiness with the website.
   The author definitely appeals to an audience that might be fed up with trying to use the website and getting no where. Because it is so hard to sign up for insurance using the government website a problem is presented, that only the really adamant, meaning the elderly or sick, would be the ones who would succeed in creating an account while the young and healthy would not waste the time. This could lead to what the author describes as the insurance "death spiral". This situation stems from not enough young and healthy people signing up for insurance while too many old or sick do. This would cause premiums to rise which would further discourage young people from signing up resulting in a further rise in premiums. This is viewed as a very serious issue that if not resolved would set off a catastrophic adverse-selection spiral that has the potential to badly damage our large health care systems.
    Mr. Gerson calls into questions if putting a federal agency in charge of a health system that's suppose to aid millions of Americans is even possible. That maybe all the other problems that have stemmed from this idea are just evidence that this whole thing is not even possible. That maybe some aspects of the human system are just too complex to be managed.
