Joking aside, think about this -— Kathleen Sebelius has had since March 2010 to prepare for open enrollment’s October 2013 rollout. Besides churning out thousands of pages of regulations, what have she and her army been doing?
Someone performing as Sebelius has in the private sector would have been fired at least a year ago, when it become obvious that her implementation plan — having already missed critical deadlines almost two years ago – was still hopelessly behind.
Instead, Sebelius and the administration unilaterally, and illegally, delayed imposing the employer mandate requiring companies to cover “full-time” employees — defined as any employee who works an average of 30 hours per week — for one year. The political motivation behind this cop-out is so transparent, one wonders if the delay wasn’t hard-coded in the plan. There has been no change in the individual mandate, which requires individuals and families to have health insurance coverage beginning next year or face a fine. So the employer mandate delay combined with the still-present individual mandate will force more Americans into the state health insurance exchanges. The administration is likely intent on making the process of undoing the exchanges as difficult as possible.
A responsible steward of taxpayer dollars would never have considered opening the exchanges in their current state of disarray.
But no, it will be spinned by the lackey press to the low information voters as SABOTAGE by the GOP and their desire for a government shutdown.
And they still think GOVERNMENT is the best body to control your personal healthcare? UN-FREAK-ING BELIEVABLE!!!!

Agree.
Any larger size company would have run multiple tests on the system before launching, including overload simulations.
Also, where else can your approval be below 50 ( Obama) and congress
approaching single digits, and be deemed competent.
To those of us who can think, and don’t depend on handouts, this is totally unacceptable.
