Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has asked the departments inspector general to investigate the development of HealthCare.gov.
I am asking the Inspector General [Dan Levinson] to review the acquisition process, overall program management, and contractor performance and payment issues related to the development and management of the HealthCare.gov website, Sebelius wrote in a blog post Wednesday.
Sebelius said she also asked Marilyn Tavenner, administrator of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), to create a position for a CMS chief risk officer. The person would work to mitigate risk in CMS programs.
In addition, HHS will update and expand training for employees on best practices for working with contractors on projects.
The launch of HealthCare.gov was flawed and simply unacceptable, Sebelius said.
While the federal portal is now night and day compared to what it was in October, she said HHS must take concrete action to prevent similar problems in the future.
I believe strongly in the need for accountability, and in the importance of being good stewards of taxpayer dollars, Sebelius wrote.
These announcements come a week and a half after HHS touted a repaired HealthCare.gov, which officials were working to fix by December.
The site, Sebelius wrote, is now working faster, its responding quicker, and we are able to handle larger volumes of concurrent users.
Trying to bring in more idiots to fix (or worsen) the problem and act like she’s concerned to keep her job.
Use a mirror for the investigation.
> These criminals need investigated by an Indepent Prosecuter. If they essentially investigate them selves, they will give them selves a raise and the medal of freedom. Criminals all.
The very reason our founding fathers wrote the Constitution that the Left wants destroyed so badly so they can wreak total havoc on the land.
I just love these satire articles.
Pardon my cynicism. They need to eliminate the 20% fraud rate from MEDICARE first. Then look into the possibility that the payment for the website can be withheld. Both corrections would save taxpayers billions.

This is just anothey “CYA” quote from another of odumbo’s incompenent directors. There needs to be a complete purging of the entire odumbo administration, top to bottom and leave no rock unturned. They all need to be gone.
aka....I’m trying to save my job...I have to blame somebody...
She should be issuing these statements from inside her prison cell.
Then after a while it will be dismissed by saying, "That's old news."
Round up the usual suspects!
Too late.
Those taxpayer millions were hauled off to Canada.
Nothing will come of this since Moochie’s collage chum is in charge of CGI. IMO, this is why there was only a single bid on the project.
Start with Mooch, it was her friends firm that used out moded software. I am struggling with learning win 8, for my part win 7 is better. Now all I get are ads, I don’t want, and tracking I don’t want either.
“I’m shocked to find gambling at this hotel!”
“Your winnings, sir”
We demand an HHS investigation.
Idiot. The problem is in your boss’s office.
They should be investigating the viability of Obamacare.
Per FoxNews, about 258k enrolled in November bringing the total enrollment to under 400k. It should be at 7 million — to make Obamacare viable.
