Just to clarify the high factual level you're operating on, I was actually talking about two people (Ayn Rand and Paul Ryan). One opposed Social Security historically and the other does recently.
This system was implemented in Massachusetts by the Republican Presidential candidate. He proposed implementing it for the entire nation in his autobiography. You're certainly willing to speculate all day about Obama (and things in his autobiography.) This is not much of a stretch.

99% of Obamacare applications hit a wall
It's a batting average that won't land the federal marketplace for Obamacare into the Healthcare Hall of Fame.
As few as 1 in 100 applications on the federal exchange contains enough information to enroll the applicant in a plan, several insurance industry sources told CNBC on Friday. Some of the problems involve how the exchange's software collects and verifies an applicant's data.
"It is extraordinary that these systems weren't ready," said Sumit Nijhawan, CEO of Infogix, which handles data integrity issues for major insurers including WellPoint and Cigna, as well as multiple Blue Cross Blue Shield affiliates.
Experts said that if Healthcare.gov's success rate doesn't improve within the next month or so, federal officials could face a situation in January in which relatively large numbers of people believe they have coverage starting that month, but whose enrollment applications are have not been processed.
"It could be public relations nightmare," said Nijhawan. Insurers have told his company that just "1 in 100" enrollment applicants being sent from the federal marketplace have provided sufficient, verified information

Obamacare Facebook Erupts with Citizen Sticker Shock
On Thursday, the government's official Obamacare Facebook page was riddled with people expressing sticker shock over the government's high cost premiums after struggling for hours to wade through the technical failures vexing Obamacare exchanges all across the country.
"I am so disappointed," wrote one woman. "These prices are outrageous and there are huge deductibles. No one can afford this!" The comment received 169 "likes."
"There is NO WAY I can afford it," said one commenter after using the Kaiser Subsidy Calculator. "Heck right now I couldn't afford an extra 10$ [sic] a month...and oh apparently I make to [sic] much at 8.55/hour to get subsidies."

Fortunately for me, my employer provides me with benefits.
For shits and grins I went to https://www.healthcare.gov/ and put in the state of Texas.
If I were going to try and sign up for this monstrosity, I would either get a message saying that they are experiencing technical difficulties or I need to try back later because of the heavy usage.
This is a train wreck. It will take time to be ironed out but the government NEEDED more time to test software, server load etc etc. This is the Democrats' Messiah's Golden Law of the land. How dare the Republicans come back after defunding failed and say lets at least delay the ACA. To be honest A LOT more work was needed to prepare for this thing.
Who knows, maybe this could be the opener for the Democrats to accept the 'delay Obamacare' position being given by the Republicans. Could be like Obama getting bailed out by Putin with Syria.
