Many websites are discussing, and many news articles have been written about, the Obamacare HHS website being filled with glitches.   Most, if not all, are written to point out the ineptitude of an administration who couldn’t get the construct of the sign-up website done right; and to poke fun of the incompetence.
However, THAT AIN’T US.

Technocracy is a form of government in which engineers, scientists, health professionals and other technical experts are in control of decision making in their respective fields. The term technocracy derives from the Greek words tekhne meaning skill and kratos meaning power, as in government, or rule. Thus the term technocracy denotes a system of government where those who have knowledge, expertise or skills compose the governing body. In a technocracy decision makers would be selected based upon how highly knowledgeable they are, rather than how much political capital they hold.

We are going to try this outline and stay out of the weeds……  The most techno-savvy, new age, Hopey Changey, iMac Obama empire; filled with Axelrod/Plouffe dynamic constructionists of web-based election campaigning; who know how to use micro-targeting of social media and on-line cyber marketing better than Google and Microsoft insiders – Don’t make such mistakes, unintentionally.
The cyber “glitches” the media find themselves puzzled by are not mistakes.   There is an intent and a purpose behind systemic flaws that stop people from recognizing their immediate costs when signing up to the National Healthcare Registry.
The next few crumbs in the bread trail to understanding surfaces today.   Weaselzippers outlines the construct and then asks a question:

Healthcare.gov, the website our federal government spent half a billion dollars in taxpayer funds in developing openly and transparently – evidently links to a private not-for-profit business to calculate insurance subsidies.

The page in question resides here and links to The Kaiser Family Foundation.  The interesting part of all of this is that the data culled from Kaiser Family Foundation is actually publicly available data. 

So why didn’t Healthcare.gov just do this themselves?

The answer to that question is the same answer for why the Federal Government create/engineer such a horrible platform architecture for such a serious federal program.
Plausible Deniability.
Remember, according to Chief Justice John Roberts and the Obamacare attorney’s who argued for constitutionality,  the premium prices you are looking to compare are actually considered IRS controlled “taxes levies” now.    Healthcare.gov is not generating the financial comparisons, because the *actual* tax liability amounts are not built in to the system.
Doctor ObamaWhy?   Because they don’t want you to know, or be able to estimate, your tax liability, YET !
Why?   Because such an understanding represents a risk to the proponents of the construct.
By outsourcing the entire dynamic behind comparing your premium costs (taxes) the Federal government can delay recognition of the actual cost to you.   They can also instruct/recommend any 3rd party modify the baseline(s), the assumption(s), to smooth the end result, your recognition.
A left-wing group notes the originating “assumptions” within the Kaiser Foundation’s construct are structurally flawed:

The Kaiser Foundation Calculator is out of date. They created it before any of the states had announced rates. So they were not able to accurately calculate subsidies because subsidies are based on the actual cost of the 2nd least expensive Silver plan in any given market.  You have to know what that premium is to figure out the subsidy. In addition, they are using their estimates of “national averages” as to what a Bronze or Silver plan will cost a person of a certain age with a certain income.  (link)

Everyone wants to know two basic things.   First, what’s my premium (out of pocket) price, and what benefits does that policy provide.   Second, what’s my subsidy based on my income range.
Only after these two variables are known, can any individual actually compare whether they are better off, or worse off, than they were prior to Obamacare.
Remember, and we can’t say this enough, the premium price, penalty (non-compliance), fee’s, and any additional costs attached to healthcare, and associated to your wages, ARE “legally” considered TAXES.
You are not buying health insurance –  The government is taxing you for providing health care coverage, and allowing you to pick what kind – There is structurally a big difference.
The people who currently pay federal income taxes (49% of workforce) who are carrying 98% of total federal revenue burden, will also be the ones who will carry the greatest tax liability in order to provide the majority of healthcare subsidy to the 51% who do not pay federal income taxes.
While 51% of the population currently do not pay federal income taxes, most of them will pay a portion of their healthcare premium via tax;  the difference between what they pay, and what they *should* pay (but income too low) will be subsidized by those who are above the subsidy threshold.
