Healthcare.gov Payment System Not Even Built Yet

I knew it wasn't working, but I thought they had at least finished the main parts. If this is true, then there have actually been NO enrollments by the criteria of the insurance industry which counts enrollment as when payment has occurred. [Link]

This . . . can’t be right. Can it?

Another day, another big, bad black eye for HealthCare.gov.
A crucial system for making payments to insurers from people who enroll in that federal Obamacare marketplace has yet to be built, a senior government IT official admitted Tuesday.
The official, Henry Chao, visibly stunned Rep. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) when he said under questioning before a House subcommittee that a significant fraction of HealthCare.gov—30 to 40 percent of it—has yet to be constructed.
“We still need to build the payments system to make the payments [to insurance companies] in January,” testified Chao, deputy chief information officer of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the federal agency that operates HealthCare.gov.
