President Obama is comparing the glitchy rollout of the ObamaCare health insurance exchanges to that of Apple's iOS 7, saying, "Now, like every new law, every new product rollout, there are going to be some glitches in the sign-up process along the way that we will fix... Consider that just a couple of weeks ago, Apple rolled out a new mobile operating system, and within days, they found a glitch, so they fixed it."
But he has missed the point entirely. The government is not a business. Its role is not to rollout a health insurance exchange, glitches or no glitches, but to protect the rights of the people, i.e. protect them from the wielders of physical force. ObamaCare does the exact opposite—Apple does not force its consumers to purchase its products or insurance for its products under the threat of penalties like ObamaCare empowers the government to do (and thus turning government into a rights-violator), but engages with others in mutually beneficial voluntary trade; such is the nature of business. The nature of government, however, is force, and therefore must be properly limited to using that force objectively, i.e. as a retaliator in protecting the rights of those whose rights have been violated.
As such, ObamaCare is nothing but a rotten apple and for Obama to compare the two situations is intellectually dishonest and a sham perpetrated upon the American people.
