Obamacare Babel

Obamacare kicks off in 99 days. DC is still selling the health insurance plan that almost nobody wants.

The government’s revamped website, healthcare.gov, features sleeker graphics than its prior iteration and features a “Start Now” button that guides users through the law’s benefits. There is a Spanish-language version of the site, at www.cuidadodesalud.gov, and the government’s call center will accommodate 150 languages through interpretation services, HHS said.
