The testimony at a congressional hearing could increase concerns among many Americans about Obama's healthcare overhaul, popularly known as Obamacare. Opinion polls show the botched rollout of the online marketplace for health insurance policies has hurt the popularity of the effort.

“Let me be clear, we really tried to get it right, but the experts say we need to close it down...my staff will be working night and day to assign you an appropriate and equitable plan just right for you and your family...and, a panel of special folks with a notion of what is the best solutions to your healthcare needs will require you to check in with them on a monthly basis...”

Obama knowingly lied to the American people to get this monstrosity passed. Then on his orders it was released before it was secure or even worked. This is criminal negligence that would result in any Exec in private industry drug from his office in handcuffs.

Software development is like baseball. There are a lot of people playing that aren’t very good at it. The difference is, if a baseball player drops the ball, an awful lot of people know about it instantly. Whereas if a software developer drops the ball it takes a while before anyone knows, if ever.
