A New York Times investigative article based on two dozen interviews with industry insiders and confidential Obama Administration documents reveals that the catastrophic $500 million Obamacare rollout "has deeply embarrassed the White House" and has the technology companies involved "publicly distancing themselves" from the Obamacare fiasco.
"These are not glitches. The extent of the problems is pretty enormous," an insurance executive who participated in Obamacare conference calls told the Times. "At the end of our calls, people say, 'It's awful, just awful.'"
The Times says those closest to the three-and-a-half year-long building of Obamacare, like embattled Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, ignored or quashed the myriad warning bells sounding all around them. On Tuesday, the Republican National Committee released a #FireSebelius web ad calling for Sebelius's ousting.

I don’t believe the $500 million number. I think it is MUCH higher.
No President has thrown good money after bad more than Obama. None.
Embarrassed? He and his supporters haven’t been embarrassed yet.
Really poor assumption by those two pencil necks. That is, that a collapse of government will cause a collapse of the economy. Not going to happen that way.
It’s said that when Nero heard that Rome was burning, he rushed back to Rome to direct the fire-control efforts to try to save as much of the city as he could. (It’s a myth he fiddled while Rome burned.)
After the fire, his opponents began to spread rumors that he had actually started the fire, at which point he blamed Christians in Rome for the fire. This began the 3.5 year reign of terror against Christians that cost notable apostles like Peter and Paul their lives.
Here is where Obama and Nero differ: America, like Rome, is burning and Obama is roasting marshmallows on the fire he has clearly started. He has done nothing to put the fire out, but, like Nero, he has blamed others for starting it.
Things didn’t end well for Nero.

Yeah, but ...... top men have been on it. Top. Men.
I’m with you - I don’t believe these people have the capacity to be embarrassed...
bttt
I doubt it.
Next stop, single payer.
I too would like to think that and I've also subscribed to "let it crash-like a drunk" theory. As the thinking goes once the crash happens the rehab can begin.
The only problem that theory is what rises out of the ashes is often only a shell or a zombie of the nation that previously existed. Look at Cuba and Russia.
Or worse, some tyrannical nightmare manifests, like 1930s Germany.
Obama is not capable of embarrassment,he is a psychopath.
I am firmly convinced that the Embarrassment or Shame gene has been progressively bred out of many cultures and in some it is completely gone.
