As of 8:30 a.m. on the first day for HealthSourceRI, Rhode Island’s ObamaCare exchange, I’m getting this error message:  “The service is overloaded or offline. Please try again later.”  Three thoughts:

1. It’s a good thing the government isn’t involving itself with anything important with ObamaCare.
2. HealthSourceRI spokesman Ian Lang bragged that the government agents in his office were doing something that  “not many private-sector companies that would agree” to do. That’s because, in private-sector companies, people lose their jobs and life savings when they crash at the word “go.”
3. Private sector: millions watch skydive from space online without a hiccup. Government: you can’t buy health insurance because the site’s down.
